Love that!

A bit of puzzle, but a reflexional one. A lot of great puns, definitely made my day.

Simple design and calm music. You've killed it! :smile:

tiffi 2019-04-30 13:12

How long do I have to hold the button? Where is the theme? This game confused me. Or is it a game?

kaisean-games 2019-04-30 13:21

@tiffi This is a game.

How long you have to hold the button? It's up to you :) Unfortunatelly, you have to get pass the hold button to realize this.

But I must not spoil this much. Try to play some more. Or maybe you don't need to hold? But do you want to? It's up to you :)

This game made my day. Simple but very effective, love me some bad puns, and a couple of ideas are very smart. I laughed through all of it.

vanleiden 2019-04-30 13:21

This is awesome! I love the concept. I would totally love to see that as a mobile app. :)

entropy 2019-04-30 13:24

I laughed a lot playing this game. It was overall a great experience, and I loved it :) Kuddos to the creators !

pepnou 2019-04-30 13:41

Great concept. The game kept me intriged until the end.

Good job !

le-slo 2019-04-30 13:44

This was nice, and funny! The sliders was most confusing part, so it was the only one I've skip, and also I don't know any joke in english, so I kept them to myself, sorry!

hunter-x 2019-04-30 13:45

Got 99.4% on the button, then went back and sat on it for a full 15 minutes and still only got 99.67% -_-

An interesting take on the theme with plenty of polish and a range of puns of various quality - as one of the other comments mentioned I could easily see this ported to mobile :)

sanjeev 2019-04-30 14:01

The most innovative game I've played in this jam so far! Loved all the interactions and the jokes that came with them. Awesome work! 😄

sol-roo 2019-04-30 14:47

simply excelent

nisanick 2019-04-30 19:37

this was not expected at all. amazing work :thumbsup:

mrtnldm 2019-05-01 21:48

An amazing, artistic, abstract experience that gets the theme best that I have seen so far! This is what all jam games should be! Spent a bit more than 20 minutes and worth it every second! TRULY AMAZING WORK! 10/5!

hans1203 2019-05-02 09:37

The game is quite amusing and interesting.Had a lot of fun playing it.

jestemstefan 2019-05-02 10:32

Nice game! At first I pressed button with notebook and go for the coffee. Then I get what is going on.

Nice jokes. Was game made by a team of Dads? :P

kaisean-games 2019-05-02 12:33

@jestemstefan You cheater! :smile: We didn't plan for no notebooks :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for nice comments. We are not dads tho :) Just a married couple. But I might be a dad some day. :smile:

kylazaur 2019-05-02 16:42

I hate game... ... ... i also love <3, great job guys xD

bakenshake 2019-05-02 16:51

Caught this on Kyla's stream, and I gotta say this was awesome!! Super entertaining. Nice job.

tinykidtoo 2019-05-02 18:08

This was pretty funny. I like how it very slowly starts to slow down on the first part. I got to 97.8%. Excellent use of the theme.

chriiis88 2019-05-02 19:48

This was a very unexpected entry but very well done. Thanks for the interesting experience.

vinegarlove 2019-05-02 22:22

Interesting game. Maybe the first part was a bit strange. After some time it clicked.

The music definitively helped. Even if it's not yours, it's still a nice fit.

kaisean-games 2019-05-02 22:57

> After some time it clicked.

I see what you did there :smile: @vinegarlove

vinegarlove 2019-05-02 23:03

Pun intended :v: :smile_cat:

lesconneriesdered 2019-05-03 09:32

A game that stands out. An atmosphere much more posed more in the reflection. The music is fun to listen to, especially when you press the button for 7 minutes. I wish I had a little more feedback from the game but I can understand that it was a deliberate choice

ludwici 2019-05-03 10:46

Unusual game. Great work

wassim 2019-05-03 12:19

Great work, Love the solid concept and the jokes inside the game!

cozmic 2019-05-03 13:45

I like it! Great atmosphere and a great usage of the theme! The design (I really mean graphics, but I'm unsure if you can call it that) are great for the purpose and the music is lovely!

gaming-night 2019-05-03 15:00

Nice work and loved the end twist. Have a look at our game since we took a similar approach of the theme. While treated differently...

afroant 2019-05-03 16:32

Moving. Great message. Fun games. Funny jokes. Great LD entry, and thank you very much for the experience.

azael 2019-05-04 22:44

Love the concept ! I laught so much. That made my day, good work !

shadowkitsune 2019-05-04 22:47

This contains a lot of good puns and great messages that can be applied to any situation on our lives. It's a great experience. Loved it!

gentel 2019-05-04 23:02

Interesting game with a lot of outside-the-box thinking clearly going into it. The music really made the experience work, my opinion of the game would have been a lot worse without it. Interesting puzzles and message. Very unique game.

attala 2019-05-05 10:07

This was interesting. Made me stay until the end :) One of the most innovative "games" I've tried in this jam :)

zondarg 2019-05-05 12:43

Very nice collection of minigames and humor. With a message. Well done, and yes, it was :thumbsup:

gideon 2019-05-05 15:08

Wow! Did not expect that at all! Great experience and the message at the end fits the theme perfectly. Amazing music, idea and style! Love the colored low-poly elements at the bottom :D

miu 2019-05-06 00:14

Longest hold the button game ever..just kidding I loved it :)

kaisean-games 2019-05-06 04:47

@miu did you play it until the end? Because the button is not the point...

jordantanner 2019-05-06 08:23

Not my cup of tea but props for creating an experience that a user probably wouldn't expect. That approach may or may not work elsewhere but certainly fits for a jam. Thanks for sharing. :)

miu 2019-05-06 09:56

@kaisean-games I did ^^ I just felt like talking about it when I left the comment because it was the feature that took me the most time to do, but the sliders was nice and the joke thing too :)

kaisean-games 2019-05-06 09:58

@miu thanks for clarification. It's just that I've seen some players give up and missing a lot because they were frustrated with a particular screen.

caveman54 2019-05-06 14:00

It would not download the android version am I doing something wrong? I just downloaded and opened it but it says app wasnt installed and gives me no option to like turn off settings or anything.

kaisean-games 2019-05-06 14:13

@caveman54 Hi, thanks for trying our game. I am not sure which Android version you have, but if I remember correctly, I've built it to be 6+. Other thing that might be happening is that the installation from unknown sources is forbidden in your phone. Since this is manual installation, could be it. You could try finding that option and temporarily turn it off, or install an APK installer that will allow the same for you.

In the meantime, you can try the game as HTML5 version.

We appreciate your effort.

mrbrooms 2019-05-06 16:51

Really really amazing ! I love this game maybe more you loved mine ;)

Will you make more ways to play ? I spend my time to play this game so it was for a good reason.

5 :star: Overall

awesomealliterationalliance 2019-05-06 21:41

One of the most innovative games I've player this Ludum Dare. Everything was unexpected and well designed. The take on the theme is very fitting, especially when you consider, that there are a lot of games out there, especially in the smartphone markets, that just feel like they are robbing you of your time. Very clever commentary on the whole subject! Nice one!

kuro 2019-05-07 08:02

Screenshot_2019-05-07-10-00-52.png

I got this from your android build.

kaisean-games 2019-05-07 09:49

@kuro Thanks for getting back to us. Unfortunatelly, we have realized that it doesn't work/install on some android phones. We are not able to debug this on many android devices, so we are politely asking you to try the game on any other platform.

In the meantime, I will remove the android build not to confuse people anymore.

Thanks for the patience and sorry for the inconvenience.

kuro 2019-05-07 09:55

@kaisean-games Roger that. I'll give it a shot on PC when I get home. I think you should keep the android version and add a warning. It's very convenient when you're on a phone and can play and rate LD submissions. I might add one myself, if it's only a question of adding controls, and it wouldn't need any camera tweaks. Thanks for the reply .)

kaisean-games 2019-05-07 09:57

@kuro I'm thinking about submitting it to Play Store. This way it should work on most devices. This is usually an internal/external memory or a permission issue :shrug:

Thanks for the feedback and for not being toxic about it :smile:

kuro 2019-05-07 10:24

@kaisean-games A very pleasant experience! Thank you. I've spammed some of the jokes into one of my group chats, they made me laugh. No joke came into mind, so I skipped (sorry?) Simple, short, pleasant, and very original and unique take on the theme. Kudos

edevjogos 2019-05-10 18:50

It was an interesting experience, well done.

musxue 2019-05-11 13:29

I hold the button for 56s. The game is the first of its kind during my playing in this LD. No enemis, no points. I like it:) Thank you
