That was an amazing game. I love what you did with the theme and how you incorporate the player's input into premade games. Especially when later items come back to visit even when it doesn't make sense. I made a bunch of dots for stars at the beginning and regretted it later when they showed up in a different game and I could barely see them. Great work.

That was fantastic. Well done.

Extremely fun and phenomenal idea. Some of the sounds I came up with were actually good, others... not so much. The execution is flawless.

This game is AMAZINGGGG. Hardest i've laughed at a game in awhile and it was so fun and polished!

soyrandom 2019-10-08 02:29

WOW! This is one of the most original game i ever seen, really nice!!

An amazing experience. I will give it lots of exposure!

I had a blast. I'm definitely going to throw this game at some unsuspecting friends the next time they come over for game night. This has potential to be super fun with collaboration among players.

Legitimately brilliant. when asked for a beautiful place, i said "my butt" and was not disappointed.

Alright, first off this game is fantastic.

The mood with the lively text bubbles, to the chill ambient music feels so right. Your aesthetic has a lot of appeal and interest because of its simplicity.

Having the player create the experience is a great core concept, and I really dig how it fits with the gameplay of a shoot 'em up.

My one suggestion on the continuation for this game is to make objects more readable, and visible, during gameplay sections.

Since everything is on the gray scale, it's difficult to discern projectiles from background.

All in all, I really enjoyed my experience. Great work!

PS. This art reminds me of the art from games like Kirby on the SNES <3

Just. Amazing. I had a blast. Farts were involved. Also, the moon.

This game is amazing!!! Maybe the best LD game I can remember. I really liked it when assets would come together in the later games, and just not mesh at all in the best possible way. Five stars basically all around!

Amazing. Would love to share the games I make with friends one day! Zebra Frank was one tough bastard to kill in Black Mold Zebra Frank.

Very funny and clever game. At some point, I must have clicked the microphone 'stop recording' button too many times or something, because I couldn't record sound after that. However, everything still worked flawlessly without my sounds. The game was robust, funny and incorporated the theme perfectly. Incredible job!

Thanks for all the comments everybody. I'm beaming right now- I was so worried the premise wouldn't land/the game wouldn't work, haha. I'll be trying to come by and rate all your games this evening/tomorrow.

@chorizo I'm super duper into that idea! I've also had a few playthroughs that I wish I had been able to save/load. I'll probably get it to work with standalone (win/osx) version.

@welshdivision That sucks! Thanks for letting me know!

Wow. Great game! Awesome concept with hilarious results. Definitely loved the recurring characters and art. The aesthetic is really coherent and well executed, great looking menus and buttons. Really nice sound too. The team for this game obviously didn't need an art intern :)

2019-10-08 06:15

Such a cool concept and really well executed! Love it all around :clap:

Never thought I'd experience such a cool date with Reeblor in scenic Crenglorcrumb, but it seems my interest in cuties was too strong :< Fantastic as always!

I loved this so much! Reminded me of this game I played when I was a kid, Orly Draw a Story. She'd be telling a story, and then every minute or so would stop for you to draw one of the important parts of the story, and then the rest of the story would play with your artwork. But this is even cooler because the end result is playable! It's mad libs video game generation. Genuinely laughed out loud several times at the crazy situations you came up with.

Not only is it impressive that you got such a solid drawing mechanic implemented, but you also made multiple different games inside this game! You must've have needed to make 2 or 3 of those per day to get it done in time. Really awesome job!

Really fun and creative game. I had a blast playing through it - watching my own creations come to life. Once again I get to confirm that my artistic skills are on par with a five year old. Not a talented one.

Music was great, and I loved the sense of humor. The style and layout of the game was really well done as well, so I really liked the aesthetics of it. Overall this was a great game and well done!

2019-10-29 23:37

Love it! A great concept, well done!

hydezeke 2019-10-30 15:35

Thanks for playing everyone! I'm so overjoyed with my placements! See yall next LD

ruthiepee 2019-10-31 23:39

Holy shit, this may be my favorite LD game ever. The humor, the snappy interface, the ability to draw... All the awards are well-deserved. Congrats!

hydezeke 2019-11-05 05:24

@ruthiepee Thank you! Wow! Good job on Sticky Fingers!
