I had no idea if my input was actually producing the effects in the instructions. I did a few runs and the only thing I found working was the left arrow. Pressing it mindlessly and repeatedly lead to a win. Yeah, so not sure if I can give you much more feedback other than "I don't know that the game works". Sorry.

That sure was one way to share a bed! Still getting the grip of the controlls but it was fun.
Very entertaining use of theme! The combo system was hard to get a handle on, which hurt the fun a bit, but still pretty good.

@mike-inprinciple Thanks for your feedback! It's true, the feedback can definitively be better. I added some suggested combos in the instructions to try out and start getting the hang of the system.
Me and my girlfriend actually giggled at this. Very good use of the theme, although the combo system was a bit hard to execute, but it was implemented! Good job.
Really nice idea and I appreciate the instructions. Even if I wasnt able to combo anything, just hold left key in order to win. The sleep effect gave some feedback about failing combos but I never knew why it failed. Good job!

I love it. This made me actually lol and I enjoyed every second of it. I agree that a bit better feedback would help, but winning wasn't really the point to me here. Just getting to experience a multi-layered joke in gameplay form was enough for me. Nicely done!

Cool theme, but I didn't really understand anything about how the game works other than holding down the left key.
Conventionally, the main player is usually on the left, so that was a source of confusion too. Not saying that balking convention is a bad thing, but it feels like just randomly, and without any indication, changing things that people might expect to hold true might not be a good idea by default.
The music/soundtrack/ambience is interesting, I thought it was pretty well put together, though it also did feel broken at times, which is a punky aesthetic and that's cool. But not sure if it was entirely correct.

Quite a unique take on the theme. The graphics were pretty cool and worked well. I will concur with other reviewers that the controls were a bit confusing and a lot of things I tried didn't seem to accomplish anything. I did end up winning though. Congrats on finishing your game!

Nice Idea! Truly based on a true story, played for a while, all and all nice game. 10/10 would dominate bed again.
Cool idea! It took a while to figure out how to get the combos working. I think it would help if there was some visual cue that you've hit a combo starter successfully. It didn't seem like my character did anything until completing a combo.

Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/x7vAI59f_1I
Could be a nice idea for a local party game.

Funny idea, accompanied by simple but hilarious graphics and a cool song! Needs some more feedback when pressing the buttons. I had no idea what I was doing nor if I was doing it right and ended button-mashing. Also, I have no numpad, so I'm missing most of the combos, I guess.
What an amazing take on the theme!! When I saw the thumbnail I just saw 'The Eternal Fight (for space..) I was not ready for this concept! Absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately I did have a lot of issues with figuring out the controls, the placement of the keys you've used are quite effective once you're used to them, but I did find it quite tough to place, as velvetlobster suggested this would be great with local play!
