I couldn't play the game (this isn't a Windows CPU) but when I saw the worm fishing I just had to give the Humor 5 stars!

leyamez 2021-10-05 01:40

Pretty hilarious game! Took a bit to get it to run but it was funny once I got through all that

morepixels 2021-10-05 02:14

Game was interesting. Wasn't really sure what I was doing for most of it though.

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-05 03:30

@gamermomentum Many thanks!

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-05 03:33

@leyamez Did you achieve all four glitches?! You're awesome! Many thanks for playing! We really appreciate it! =D

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-05 03:35

@morepixels Many thanks for playing! We'll give you a little hint on how to beat it. There are four total glitches that you have to activate and you don't necessarily always do it by listening to everything from the characters you meet. =)

Very cool! Loved your all's take on the unstable theme.

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-05 17:28

@bigface Many thanks! We greatly appreciate you playing through it!

zabenderman 2021-10-05 21:11

@gamermomentum His name is Wallace :]

2021-10-08 01:28

Excellent worm with the theme here ;) the fishing area is definitely my favorite

jpgfg 2021-10-08 01:38

Haha, Wallace the worm is a hilarious character. This was a cool entrance to jam!

iori-branford 2021-10-08 01:43

Funny & clever puzzle game in RPG clothing.

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-08 01:46

Many thanks @max-makes-things! I'm glad you liked!

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-08 01:49

Thank you @jpgfg ! @zabenderman made Wallace the worm. And he's definitely enjoying all of your comments, heh.

khaotom 2021-10-08 01:49

This is cool, I figured out 3 of the rooms.

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-08 01:51

Thank you @iori-branford ! We're glad you like it! We definitely enjoyed making this particular entry.

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-08 02:00

@khaotom Was it the bee that stumped you by any chance? If so I can give you a little help. You get a cool ending for figuring out all four rooms. =)

Thanks so much for playing our game!

nick-shooter 2021-10-08 05:51

Fun little jam game, it was neat figuring out how to "break" all the minigames. I love the dumb animations, like the bee eating the beers bottle and all! The ending felt a little too middle-school-creepypasta for me, but overall the tone of the game was pretty fun. Keep it up!

lychee 2021-10-08 06:07

Nice game, I liked the creepy glitch feel to it. The graphics and music were very good for the amount of time, game felt polished overall!

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-08 13:05

@nick-shooter Psh! Whatever! We'll totally do an ending that will scare the pants off you next time! =P

Many thanks for playing! We greatly appreciate it!

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-08 13:05

Many thanks @lychee! Those comments really mean a lot to us! We're glad that you liked it!

jane-wei 2021-10-08 15:57

AHHHHHHHHHH I played this in the middle of the night and got to the end. RIP The glitch sound is oddly soothing to listen to... Nice concept, it was very satisfying the 'break' each level

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-08 23:23

@jane-wei Aww... Thanks for playing! We greatly appreciate you playing it through all the way to the end! I'll try to search for sounds a little less soothing next time. Mua ha ha ha ha. =P

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-08 23:38

@gamermomentum Hey we just uploaded a MacOS link in case you have a hankering to fish with a worm (and possibly have MacOS). Warning: playing may or may not result in actually catching a fish. =P

jitspoe 2021-10-09 04:38

The problem with a game that has intentional bugs is that it's difficult to tell which bugs are SUPPOSED to be there and which ones are not. 😅

chillertyp 2021-10-09 14:26

It's dangerous to go alone! And the music is great. :v:

real-flamingicecubegames 2021-10-09 14:57

I like how the glitches were made into an actual part of the world. The graphics were quite nice as well. If I could complain about anything, I would've liked a run button. Good humor and interesting world. Overall a decent game for a jam.

mhorth 2021-10-09 15:00

I'm really surprised at games that can put this many rooms and content into a jam. Each room did something totally unique, and you had to make new UI for each mechanic, that's really a lot to tackle!

The fishing snake frustrated me at how tough it was to stop the progress bar right on the line. But when I finally got it dead on the line and still missed, that's when I noticed the sign about being patient. Got the glitch right after, I should learn to read the instructions xD

That bee was tough to beat! Had to use a 2-handed spacebar spamming method to get him, but as I'm writing this, that probably means there was something I missed yet again that I was supposed to do hahah.

epicgamefan 2021-10-09 16:21

@jitspoe Thank you for streaming the play through. Already making improvement from what I watched. Also noticed game breaking bug, that you didn't find yet. I had a good time hanging out in your channel. :v:

epicgamefan 2021-10-10 04:16

@mhorth Thanks I enjoyed reading about your experience. Making updates to the pub from your feedback. Next update will be released soon.

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-10 18:55

Thanks @chillertyp ! It means a lot to me that you like the music. And ya, a lot of people are telling me that the game has Zelda vibes, heh. =D

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-10 18:58

Many thanks @real-flamingicecubegames ! Ya, I'm with you on the run button, heh. I'm glad someone else is commenting on it too. =D

Thanks so much for playing the game. We greatly appreciate it!

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-10 18:59

@mhorth Many thanks for the comment! You got me all excited now to do another game. Maybe you should do a game with us sometime? =D

mhorth 2021-10-11 04:35

That's so kind of you to offer! I do have a team of real life friends that I'm planning to keep working with in the future, but if it ever happens that they can't make it and I'm left alone, I'll let you know!

mascoll 2021-10-11 08:01

Super fun take on the unstable theme. I liked how aparent glitches where incorporated into the solutions of the puzzles. I'm not personally a huge proponent of key-spamming mechanics. One suggestion would be to replace it with a quick spelling mechanic (get it?! - a spelling BEE).

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-11 17:24

@mhorth Woot! Definitely hit me up! =D

stephenwhoskins 2021-10-11 17:26

@mascoll Hahaha. Nice! Many thanks for playing our game! We greatly appreciate it!

thejunt 2021-10-21 14:00

Lol, this is unsettling, in a good way xD The glitching out characters and hype music is super cool. I also got stuck at the worm, I got it right on the line and nothing. Good job!
