This is a really cool idea, If i'd of taken part in this LD i'd of given it 5/5 for theme

Finally a quality Ludum Dare game for me to sink my teeth into.

Nice tribute to Shovel Knight (which is great, BTW) Love the nice graphics and 8-bit music, good job!

Didn't play too far, though ; having to upload content was a blocker for me.

Really nice idea man ! I really played the game, you can play Crazy Snake At The Dentist now : https://mgsx.itch.io/crazy-snake-at-the-dentist?secret=IsbnN3VCSwxadnBnMyfaZ74Uo4o

It's based on my LD40 game crazy snake :D :D

For some reason I choose a picture to upload in Firefox, but nothing happens

This is definitely a unique game concept. You should have better communicated why to upload and maybe offer a default content if someone doesn't want to upload as i think many will drop out when the content upload pops up.

I had a good giggle! It's definitely got relevant subject matter and a nice interpretation of the theme. 5/5 Would pollute and oversaturate the market again! I think our jam entry currently perfectly fits the 'walking simulator' category of games you so hatefully elaborate upon in your description so I deserve extra points in shovelware-knighthood. Take notes people! Good job and keep 'em coming!

Great concept, not so great implementation (havent tried post-compo version, only rating the compo one). Having to upload files from my pc really bothered me, then i couldnt find the "game" reated inside this game. Really confusing, but it didnt really make it for me.

Even though, good job on finishing a game for compo!

Wow that was impressive. Very cute and funny game this is! Well done :-)

So some tips if you want to see the whole game without real world consequences:

- You can post the secret link to your itch.io game if you don't want to *actually* publish it - You can get past the social media part by providing any twitter or facebook link, actually.

That said... if you actually do those things you're a champion!

I am left speechless. This game is one of the most unique things I've seen on literally any game jam. I don't even know if there is anything that I can say bad about this, maybe except avoiding the real life changes being quite hard and cheaty.

This game made me RICH! I am now swimming in money! Thanks Shovelware Knight!

Wait a minute. I think I've played that dentist game as someone's submission...

First I tried playing on FF but the view on the game page was too small and upload didn't work. Playing on itch worked fine.

I didn't get very far though since I didn't want to publish. But I really like the idea of games breaking out of their boundaries!

This...this...I have trouble critiquing this in any way. I guess I kind of wish Shovelware Knight and Co. bounced along to the music?

It's a wondrous idea and almost too perfectly executed to the point where I don't know if I'm in on the joke or *am* the joke.

Really good. I think. Not the dentist game though. That's not good. The dentist is good though.
