best game i ever played and im only a dog

mizatorian 2021-04-26 00:35

That was fun. shooting things into the ear, and the oh so satifying "oh yeah"

cavedens 2021-04-26 00:39

The 5th level difficulty was insane. Took me a ton of tries! Great job though. The simplistic graphics actually work really well with the music and I love the sound effects. They kept making me laugh "Ouch!"

bkelly 2021-04-26 03:41

Not bad for only 4 hours spent! The sound effects were on point and the absurdity of the gameplay reminded me of Warioware.

rhys-vdw 2021-04-26 03:45

lol this is very similar to my entry. Nice one, love the voice acting... so satisfying.

sir-syko 2021-04-26 10:35

Cool game! :smile: Specially for something made in such a little amount of time :stuck_out_tongue:

I really loved the oh yeah and the music was also pretty good :smile:

thoastbot 2021-04-26 17:18

Funny little reflex testing game. How the f*** do u get an idea like that xD

filipe-leal 2021-04-26 18:41

Stupidly fun! I laugh a lot on the OH YEAH! It would be fun if you have a sound going on the 1 ear only. =]

thesnide 2021-04-26 19:13

Yeah, another 4h game as me :v:

I think, we are the proof that the "no time" isn't an excuse not to make a game :wink:

Very fun & indeed the music fits very well.

kuviman 2021-04-26 19:27

Oh yeaaaah!

doc-kaos 2021-04-26 20:34

Ohhhh yeaaaah ... that was excellent. Can't even think what you would do to improve on it

trexxak 2021-04-26 22:08

Funny, educational and challenging. Absolutely fantastic and, as a previous poster already said, would make itself great in a minigame collection! O:

vimlark 2021-04-26 22:56

Oh yeah! Love it!

jorgeblanco 2021-04-27 00:56

Made me laugh! well done Sir :tophat:

cinderblock 2021-04-27 02:07

Honestly brilliant. Big points for humor too.

aditya-kumar 2021-04-27 02:12

Fantastic considering the time spent, I like the humorous theme. The audio really ties everything together, especially the "Oh Yeah" when you get the swab in!

jafcraze 2021-04-27 15:34

Is it possible to make a hilarious game in 4 hours? Oh yeah!

makse 2021-04-27 21:44

What a big laugh! very good

mpetrus 2021-04-27 22:16

Nice game!!!

chrisap 2021-04-28 00:06

OHHHH YEAAAH!! Now that is some effective cleaning. Only 4 hours to make this gem is pretty impressive, maybe sometimes less is actually more ??? As a speedrunner I am "THE EAR CLEANING CHAMP" according to the dev. Gives me very good Wario ware vibes, impressive work <3

ezgoodnight 2021-04-28 01:43

I prefer the REAL Ludum Dare.

3c51d.jpg PERFECTION.

pascone 2021-04-28 01:47

Very fun and funny little game

thomasward 2021-04-28 02:24

I don't even know how to rate it so I'm gonna leave a comment: LOL, GG WP.

:lion_face:

nyanpierre 2021-04-28 02:24

fun game x)

frankiesmileshow 2021-04-28 07:12

OH YEAH

bongard22 2021-04-28 16:36

Fun little game! Here's the timestamped link to the stream vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1003143985?t=1h51m19s

vphyre 2021-04-28 18:37

Your game is a lot of fun. I got to celebrate when I hit the ear haha. Congratulations for the game!

xparker 2021-04-28 21:41

Simple "Oh yeah" does the trick. Reminds me of yello :rofl: Suggestion for LD49 -> Waba duba :wink:

javasaurus 2021-04-28 22:16

Sometimes the most basic ideas turn into something very fun to play. Definitely the case here ! Well done, everything you'd think of is needed for a game like this was present. Well done, thank you for making this!

bajtix 2021-04-28 22:30

Love the simple artsyle, this game is pretty big for being made in just 4 hours, especially without an engine. Also the sound effects are magnificent.

paulloz 2021-04-28 22:33

:ear: OoOooOOoooOOOoooh YEAAAAAAAH.

jvdwijk 2021-04-28 22:36

Ohhh yeaah

josephdevelops 2021-04-29 00:04

This game made me feel really good about myself. I was also grossed out. It was fun, no denying that. So many jammers trying to make Witcher 3 in two days. Good to see someone keeping it real.

Maybe you could expand upon this concept and insert things into additional orifices in the future. Just a thought. Again, thanks for making this game. Great job.

Check my vod playing this game: hhttps://www.twitch.tv/videos/1004193959?t=01h01m42s

marshal 2021-04-29 00:05

Very basic and well executed idea, loved it - Made me laugh a lot!!

kitty-mama 2021-04-29 00:12

Really well done for 4 hours. Couldn't stop laughing the whole time. So silly but also satisfying. But seriously, don't use anything smaller than the bone of your elbow to clean out your ears. Just a health and safety warning. lol

cheesepencil 2021-04-29 00:16

@kitty-mama I need to make it clear that I do not endorse inserting cotton swabs into the ears in spite of it being the premise of my game. Thanks for playing!

hempuli 2021-04-29 00:49

Hahah, that OHH YEAHH was excellent! Simple but effective!

jake-marks 2021-04-29 00:51

OH YEAH https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1004005115

bamallama 2021-04-29 03:32

Simple but fun~

webox 2021-04-29 04:06

i will never insert swabs into my ear canals anymore, thanks for this *highlighting* experience

toasteater 2021-04-29 16:39

I don't know why but OHHHHH this is so funny! It's simple, it's short, but YEAHHHHH I like it.

marcmagus 2021-04-29 17:17

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream Monday night to check out. If you'd like to watch again, you can find the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1005053850

macdoom 2021-04-30 05:28

HAHA! The "OH YEAH" is hilarious. Great humor and the simple graphics fits perfectly with the sound and game's mood. Reminded me of the early Beavis and Butthead mini-games. Great work!

oco 2021-04-30 20:06

OOOOH YEAHHHH

jryzkns 2021-04-30 20:10

My cognitive psychology professor made it really clear in lecture on the auditory system that QTips are not supposed to go into the ear, and im glad the message is bring spread, aside from that, *slow mo voice* "ohhh yeahhhhh"

oadt 2021-05-01 11:43

Simple but perfectly executed game idea :thumbsup: Like everyone else I love the sound effect!

tricky-fat-cat 2021-05-01 18:43

It's the perfect jam game. It's hilarious, fun to play and simple. Great job.

cody-miner 2021-05-02 00:28

What a great game! Super funny concept and actually fun gameplay. Only criticism is I wish I could see how few attempts it took me to win

sequoiadolce 2021-05-02 16:12

Yesssss!! Genius take on the theme and super super funny. Straightforward idea with intuitive gameplay and even more impressive that this was in 4 hours! Great job on the game!

astavie 2021-05-02 18:18

short and sweet! oh yeah!

tris250 2021-05-02 18:32

Very funny little game, it's original to say the least, the music is good as are the exclamations.

garys 2021-05-03 14:12

Genius. ;) Impressive in 4 hours, too.

nuelijarma 2021-05-03 16:35

Worst way to go deeper and deeper. Love it.

lereveur 2021-05-03 18:21

I must confess that I laughed twice : one time when I discovered the game, and a second time the first time I succeeded. Short, effective, and fun. Well done!

alyd-asmar 2021-05-03 19:39

most relatable game

cvetk0 2021-05-03 22:31

Haha, I loved the "oh yeaaaaah" effect. I swear, the guy got swab murdered on level 5, that was insane. You put together a nice piece of game considering you only had 4 hours put in. This one definitely gets a high humor score :slight_smile:

Cheers, keep up the good work.

mrawde 2021-05-04 20:29

Really great job scoping everything. The little details like having the ear/face shake depending which you hit were nice. Gameplay is quick and makes you really want to finish all 5 levels. Just enough challenge :D. I enjoyed it a lot!!

peace-of-cake-games 2021-05-05 18:59

I *toooootally* obeyed the safety warnings on the back of the cotton swab package. There's *no way* I could have hit someone's head with cotton swabs over and over again, and then inserted the cotton swab entirely into their head via their ear canal.

5/5 Humor.

etdofresh 2021-05-06 16:16

Oh Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaah. And "You Win!". Simple to beat. No terrible loss on mistakes. Maybe # of tries would have been cool for bragging purposes. But yup... simple silly game! Thank you very much! :P

hybitous 2021-05-06 18:33

I love your interpretation of the theme. It's impressive that you managed to pull it off in 4h. Good job! :smile:

johnryanaudio 2021-05-06 21:46

What can I say but **OH YEAH**

txanevk 2021-05-07 18:18

That was really deep. Five stars in Theme, Fun and Humor, congratulations!

Captura de pantalla 2021-05-07 201709.png

nonumbersgames 2021-05-07 20:05

Such a fun game, enjoyed it a lot!

Having different pain exclamations, separate shakes for head and ear impacts, as well as the cotton swabs bouncing off made missing almost more fun than actually winning :D

francisco-lucas 2021-05-09 18:51

OOOOOOOOH yeah! Ok this game is strangely satisfying. I don't have much to say, just oh yeah!!!! By the way, our game also has "Oh yeah", I invite you to play too

loyance 2021-05-13 03:14

**OH YEAH** now this is what I call a good game. The sounds are so simple yet so humorous, same for the idea in general. Great work!

cjgladback 2021-05-18 01:18

Still hilarious. Thank you for letting me play this on stream forever ago! [Here's that link](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023715851?t=2h26m57s) in case you ever want to rewatch a casual playthrough.
