very funny hahahaah. Bit weird in the beginning, I didnt notice that I had to do a minigame when you extract the Ear wax

danielhamngren 2021-04-25 18:07

Haha! What the f did I just play. Amazing and relatable. 61 seconds was my best run. But man, that dude has many ears :D

almgru 2021-04-25 18:26

Very nice work! Everything from art, sound effects, music to gameplay felt very polished. Was a bit confused the first time I "reloaded" the Q-tip though since I didn't notice the minigame screen. Maybe it would help to have the minigame screen in the center of the screen?

Very cool graphics, fun gameplay and minigames

panacea 2021-04-25 20:47

Super bizarre and fun! Love the theme interpretation! And the music and art and everything!

cavedens 2021-04-26 00:32

That cracked me up. Very fun and entertaining and felt really good to play once I figured out the controls. Great job

keylime 2021-04-26 03:45

I love the art style and the music is great!

What a bizarre game! I cleaned two ears getting 84 and 62, I'm "not sure if that's good or bad" either.

A game about cleaning ears, with Minigames included, what a perfect premise! The animation on the ear bud was good, plus the hand in the strange pose I found particularly amusing.

> WARNING: Do not insert swab into ear canal.

I'm always amazed by the quality some people achieve with pico-8! This is a tight and focused game with great visuals, catchy music and intuitive gameplay. My only complaint is that the intro feels a little bit wordy, especially compared to the concise and streamlined feel of the rest of the game.

chad-mongo 2021-04-26 22:29

Really fun! The art and music were sick. And the game was funny without coming off as trying too hard.

eboatwright 2021-04-26 22:41

This is amazing! XD and hilarious and weird at the same time! Also I loved the character sprite XD I also used PICO-8 for this jam, if you want to check it out!

jlmast 2021-04-26 23:43

Argh, this is disgusting (but fun!) (but disgusting)! ^^ PS: The guy with the big ears looks like french politican François Bayrou. PS2: It is disgusting.

cninja 2021-04-27 00:08

Fun to play and really enjoyable, same about graphics and audio - they're just great. Minigames during "reload" are also a nice addition.

ceejap 2021-04-27 00:22

Great art, definitely reminds me of world of goo. The gameplay was fast-paced and fun, great work!

alec 2021-04-27 00:24

Thank's so much for the feedback everyone!

pohko 2021-04-27 01:23

I'm kind of obsessed with this one, it's so different and funky. I love the concept and the minigames keeps the whole thing paced really well. The music and sfx all fit really well, the whole experience is just fun. Keep making lots of games, just keep going!

haztro 2021-04-27 03:47

Lol this game is so cool. Don't know why but seeing the dude's brain at the end gets me every time. I loved the music especially. Awesome submission :)

phthalogold 2021-04-27 04:29

It was a disgustingly fun game. It's gross but the whimsical premise is part of the experience. An engaging game loop with great audio and clear visuals. The loop to the start is a bit weird if you've already done it a second time, but who knows, maybe he just has a lot of ears.

predominant 2021-04-27 07:18

Really enjoyed this one!

adele-illustration 2021-04-27 08:07

Well I didn't expect THAT concept when I woke up this morning! Really fun and a bit crazy but it's a really nice little game.

snesgaard 2021-04-27 08:40

Ah this great and a bit crazy!

Got stuck on one of the cleaning mini-games. No button seemed to work.

Not sure if it's a Firefox on Linux or a me issue though!

verygenuinecraze 2021-04-27 10:01

Cool graphics, cool gameplay, the sound design is good too. Nothing to say more, you game is very fun to play and quite simple to understand

treslapin 2021-04-27 10:04

Nice little game! Very polished. I had a good time playing :smile: The text and controls were a little hard to understand at times, but not too much.

dorkulon 2021-04-27 10:07

Goofy little jam game with very Warioware-esque gameplay (which I can definitely appreciate). I liked the little minigames to clean up the q-tip, although in the mash 10x game I would have expected to fail if I mashed more than exactly 10 times. Also the final slider minigame was unresponsive.

fabian-g 2021-04-27 11:16

Wow, impressive polish! Good job!

glowglew 2021-04-27 12:45

I kept pressing x because those minigames were so much fun. Congratulations for such a polished game.

the1 2021-04-27 16:06

I didn't know scratching my ear could be so much fun :D Really like the graphics! Good job!

shaolin-dave 2021-04-27 18:18

Pretty fun. The graphics were good, the music is amazing.

2021-04-27 19:08

This was absolutely brilliant. I felt like I was playing a Warioware kinda thing.

Overall the game felt very polished. Not like I was playing an LD entry at all. The sound was great and the music catchy. Everything was just damn good.

rusty-bailey 2021-04-27 21:24

The music was fantastic! At first it wasn't entirely clear I needed to press a button to remove the q-tip from the ear, but once I figured that out, it was a lot of fun. Hilarious concept!

rubenwardy 2021-04-29 02:03

I like this, the idea and the audiovisuals are really good. My only comment is that the key icons weren't clear at all, looks like they were intended more for console :)

hypp 2021-04-29 05:03

Very funny and original! The minigames was a nice touch.

generalsturgeon 2021-04-29 17:34

Lovely game! Really enjoyed the wiggly physics of the Q-tip and the music fit very well! Great job!

colapolka 2021-04-29 20:38

Oh man. I'm always stunned by what Pico-8 developers can come up with. And this right here is an especially remarkable specimen of Pico-8 glory!

I liked your game so much, I ended up speedrunning it! I really tried to push for that sub-35, though I'm stuck at 36 for now.

Awesome game!

Woop, woop! But now I wonder... can I go deeper?

flogames 2021-04-29 21:51

Heh, very nice and polished! graphics, controls and sound all work together well. At first I couldn't read the keys for the minigames, but eventually I figured it out. When I played the first time, I couldn't advance past the end of the first ear (maybe I took too long?), but after restarting everything worked fine. Good job!

caterpillar-games 2021-05-01 01:21

Really well done! A great PICO-8 game!

tom-kun 2021-05-01 19:22

Great game with great style!

trexxak 2021-05-01 21:42

Terrifically hilarious game :D Felt really polished and the music was a real treat! Kudos!

alec 2021-05-02 22:06

@colapolka I'm going to need to go and update the games end text, since I now know what a good time is haha.

felo07 2021-05-06 23:03

ok, thast a weird and creative game at same time, I did 66 and 44. Loved the color pallete and grapichs, music is also good, congrats for the unique mechanic

duo-afgebeld 2021-05-08 15:17

Very funny, and actually very playable as well! Good graphics. I think the music is a little grating. Beating the time is a nice to make the game replayable, though it would be nice if there were different levels as well.

2021-12-28 08:16

This looks like a silly game. I am a person who loves playing games. The reason I am here. Anyone here enjoy playing [Moto X3M](https://motox3m.io)? I'm already addicted to this game ^^
