I love the art! It's really nice. The timers on these challenges are brutal though. I had to try to clear a path several times.

felixnemis 2018-08-13 02:58

Good Microgame collection, I especially loved the spikes in the room. Love the art

wongkongphooey 2018-08-13 07:35

Wow! What a great little game. Lots of polish and some really slick gameplay that is intuitive yet easy to understand.

Each level posed a different challenge and kept me going back for more until I beat them all!

Well done, this deserves a high rating.

firefly4 2018-08-13 09:36

Great graphics and color palettes through the game!

smithy 2018-08-13 10:09

Game looks really great and was fun to play but the timers were brutal. Would have also like that if you fail you can retry the same level again instead of starting from the beginning

dunin 2018-08-13 11:50

Wonderfull wario ware like!

I love graphics, music, little puzzles and the funny end!

valden 2018-08-13 12:48

Charming little game, with wonderful art ! The timers are a little bit too short, and restarting from the beginning each time is pretty rough and quite stressful.

connorthompson 2018-08-13 13:30

That dog is so cute! congrats on making this in the time limit, its super polished!

ysty 2018-08-13 13:57

Really slick. I loved the art. It's a little harsh making you restart from the very beginning, but this is a really wonderful entry.

chaitae 2018-08-13 15:55

I really liked the soundtrack.

oadt 2018-08-13 18:15

Find checkmate!? Really creative game. Pixelart and music are perfect!

rs11s21n 2018-08-13 19:23

good mini games ;) but for me timer is too fast for full restart)

2018-08-13 20:42

Lovely 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/VOykmSuQEhg

skyc 2018-08-13 23:47

Kind of like Wario Ware but with more actions in one mini game.

jay-elbourne 2018-08-14 00:35

Love the art, love the humour, love the simplicity.

calixjumio 2018-08-14 01:35

Its so lovelyyyy <3

jon-nova 2018-08-14 01:57

Amazing game !!! a bit frustrating but very addictive !!!

rusty-bailey 2018-08-14 02:00

Love the art and microgame style. The second level was way tougher than the ones following it imo. Could have used some sound effects, but overall really cool game. These could've easily been in WarioWare Touched.

foolmoron 2018-08-14 02:01

Absolutely genius using the same mechanics for each minigame, but totally different art. Makes them feel totally different even though the code is probably the same. Super cute pixel art that has interesting color palettes so it doesn't look like every other game out there. The multi-frame hand animation is so cute for some reason. Music is also adorbs.

kaiclavier 2018-08-14 02:38

The art was lovely! The "clear a path" puzzle was tricky for only 10 seconds so I'm glad it was level 2. Really liked the effect at the end of the final puzzle!

velvetlobster 2018-08-14 03:40

Favorite game in this jam so far and I mean it!

jamison 2018-08-14 05:15

I lol'd at sorting butts. I only wish that "Thanks for friendss" was a valid tweet because I totally would tweet that. A bit on the hard side but great personality!

zeta0134 2018-08-14 05:35

This one channels Wario Ware something fierce. That's a good thing! Excellent polish and presentation. The only real swing and a miss was the jigsaw puzzle, which has been overdone, but I'm really nit-picking; given the time constraints, this amount of polish is refreshing to see. Good work!

bandygrass 2018-08-14 06:34

Perfection, my boy! Feels like a true Wario Ware-styled game. ^0^/ <333

hishicorne 2018-08-14 09:50

Cool game with cool art. The only thing i wished is that you don't start from the begining whenever you lose a level ^^

ltven0mi 2018-08-14 09:57

Really love the art! It's a really fun concept and I'd love to play more! I had a bit of trouble with the time limit on some of them. Although that can probably just be blamed on me using a touchpad to play... All together a great game!

paulloz 2018-08-14 10:26

Aaaaah the mood in this game is so right, well done. Had a great time playing this!

djlink 2018-08-14 11:16

fun concept, also like that each level is a different twist, the restarting from the beginning part was frustrating though, would be better to only restart current level imo. But cool game, nice work here, congrats

skreed 2018-08-14 13:15

I love your game

ellian 2018-08-14 13:36

Dude

Fantastic <3 It's so adorable and relaxing to play! I often see bunch of Wario Ware games but this one is SO POLISHED The screen transition, the text appearing, the Quality Graphics, everything is SO NICE I just wish it had sounds when you pick/drop things but that's really being nitpicky. It's so good and well done <3

qkerguelen 2018-08-14 14:24

Very nice game! Loved the art and music! The second mini-game was maybe a bit too hard to do in 10 seconds but I tried several time to see what was next! Very good one!

thomas-lessa 2018-08-14 14:26

Really reeeeally nice! Loved everything, alsome art, song, concept and the lovely message at the end. The theme is more about running out of time, but hey, overall 5 stars.

jsd 2018-08-14 14:34

Nice graphics and music, really dig that retro style, reminded me of SNES graphics. Second mini game had me a bit lost with so little time but I was able to complete it.

By the way, it's the twitter one bugged or you can just put whatever? I went with something along the lines of "Thankyou playing my" and it worked xP

freetomax 2018-08-14 14:46

i love this game , the mini games are really fun , the music and the graphisms are super cool . i would have loved to see more , great job

nick-rafalski 2018-08-14 16:31

What a beautiful game! I absolutely adore the artwork and graphical polish. Even the screen transitions are super nice.

The mini-games are all cool, and so diverse! Nice job!

glaciereclipse 2018-08-14 18:22

Beautiful art, great mini-games/puzzles(Loved the chess one :D) and fun music. Really enjoyed it!

siridakis 2018-08-14 18:57

Loved the art. It's a chill game, except when it comes to fix the painting hahaha (I struggled a little). The music set a nice atmosphere. Clever take on the theme. Congratulations!

wowa 2018-08-14 19:31

I enjoyed this one very much. The art and the mood is great!

georgebroussard 2018-08-14 20:10

Good concept, mood and art. Well done! Only critique is having to restart on any failure.

roberto-romao 2018-08-14 20:27

Great Job! :) I played 2 times! 5/5

toboggan 2018-08-14 21:29

Great art and cute/playful ideas! The music is basically as good as music gets. Really lovely stuff.

zachary-granger 2018-08-14 21:55

A ton of quality packed into this

gaweringo 2018-08-14 22:11

Really well done.

lisa 2018-08-15 00:23

super cute game and music, really enjoyed it

danielclarc 2018-08-15 02:45

The best game I've played so far! <3

saucygames 2018-08-15 03:41

GG, my only recommendation would be to make it so that the player wouldn't have to start all the way over after failing a level.

darkmonkey-inc 2018-08-15 05:14

I've always been a giant fan of the Wario Ware games and this really was like that. My problem was the clicking could get a little off and the window doesn't scale up. other than that it looked great and was overall fun!

racines 2018-08-15 10:57

Keep the good work :)

nuclearfriend 2018-08-15 12:38

This was really stressful to play on my laptop/trackpad, failed more times than I'd care to admit on the house pathing one, but I persevered because it was so satisfying clearing each game and seeing the next one! Really loved it, excellent entry, so cute and great!

nadia 2018-08-15 13:48

Good job! Neat idea!

ozerion2103 2018-08-15 14:24

Awesome minigames! The second one was the the most difficult but I had lots of fun! GG

mochakingup 2018-08-15 14:30

I love how the play button actually teaches you how to play the game by dragging it, it's a nice touch! The chess kinda throw me a bit, ended up moving pieces randomly and got it right. This is a great entry and fit the theme pretty well!

wahooney 2018-08-15 19:47

Nifty little puzzler. Put me in mind of a Warioware game, small mostly unrelated mini-games, but still tied together by a familiar thread.

flower 2018-08-15 21:07

One of the best games on this contest!)

chronicbite 2018-08-15 21:50

Great entry! short and sweet and polishd all over. Congratulations I had a lot of fun playing it!

superpokeunicorn 2018-08-16 02:08

This is a really charming game. I love the Wario Ware like aesthetic, and the music gives the game a totally chill vibe. I like how each mini game provides its own take on the theme "running out of space" in their own clever ways. I also really like how the menu is controlled in the same manner you move things around in the actual game. That's a really nice touch that adds a certain level of consistency to the experience, even acting as a sort of tutorial. I will say that the time limit on the second game was perhaps a bit too short, but I got past it none the less. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this game. Amazing work!

landosystems 2018-08-16 02:58

Fun little game, or rather bunch of games! Really enjoyed the art style and the variety. The timer was tight pretty much every time. Pretty impressive take on the theme too, lots of different ways to rearrange space. Great work overall!

aaranos 2018-08-16 03:13

I tried quite a few times to get past the second level but I couldn't. Just not enough time to sort out the path. After many times sorting butts and work I gave up.

nam-nguyen 2018-08-16 04:08

Interesting game, having a lot of minigames each has their own twist on the theme. I have seen another entry that goes this direction and both have all the minigames tied closely to the theme "space", not exactly "running out of space". BUT it doesnt matter, I think you did very well with the simple ideas and polishing them and putting them together with a cohesive art style throughout the course of the game. It was an awesome game, and the good thing is that you can always add more minigame to it and that would not create any problem for the game. Potential for post-jam, keep it up!

jin9310 2018-08-16 10:49

Ok, I don't know what you keep in your butt folder and why is it in the same folder as work, and I don't want to know! But I am perfectly fine to sort that for you as well as the rest of the things and I just wanted to tell you, that the idea is not only silly but also brilliant and very well executed! Had a great time. Thanks a good job!

dave-grey 2018-08-16 12:35

From the first screen this is just obviously very, very good. And it just gets better. More please!

pass-me-the-controller 2018-08-16 13:00

I actually found the second puzzle quite difficult, because I thought I had to make a path for the dog :D. Hehe. Anyway, it's a fun game that looks beautiful. The only thing I would suggest (if you wanted to expand it) would be to expand on each of the puzzles, offering harder versions (like sort more files). A great game :)!

gurkenlabs 2018-08-16 14:08

Some fun ideas there! The twitter bit was especially nice, hope you don't use that for generating your tweets. I think the theme was not met that well, but the game itself is marvellous!

olsonmabob 2018-08-16 15:08

So good Jamie! I am a sucker for little mini games.

gurarara 2018-08-16 22:37

This game is pretty cool. It reminds me of the WarioWare games I used to play years ago.

jonahsenzel 2018-08-17 02:05

awesome! could use a longer time on the puzzle though!

jamesolivermusic 2018-08-17 14:13

Good one! I would personally hide my butt files in a folder that is a little more discreetly named though...

ja-viera 2018-08-19 00:04

Super fun, super pretty, not sure how well it went with the theme, but I loved it. I especially loved the mini tutorial you had as an intro

arbosis 2018-08-19 00:12

I love it, one of my favorites!

agar3s 2018-08-20 21:06

This is a very polished game, it was a very simple mechanic but it works very well here. I like a lot the mood that these graphics makes in this game.

"(ノ・∀・)ノ -( BTW )

We also have an HTML5 entry if you want to play it and rate it."

cassandrakhaw 2018-08-22 22:42

Warioware for the overworked millenial! XD Love it.

king-kujito 2018-08-27 22:16

Very solid

aurel300 2018-08-31 12:47

Lovely game :) I wondered if the lack of clear spaces in the titles / instructions was intended.

I tried to play this game with a trackpad, so it took be a bit longer, but I don't think you can be blamed for that, it is clearly a drag and drop game :)

The graphics were very good, the music was not too distracting. There is a lot of variety that could be found in "drag and drop" puzzles, the checkmate one being a nice example. Unfortunately, I didn't see the theme expressed very much in the games themselves. The tweet one was perhaps the closest?

Well done, it was fun to play this!
