I am playing a joke I don't get right now.
this is great
I really love this. It's funny, got some variety in mechanics, it looks great. Big fan. If the move/attack were a little juicier this would be unbelievably good.
Fun boss fight game featuring Theresa May as cornelius hawthorne from the community video game episode
@untitled-studios I knew the joke was fairly niche so wasn't expecting everyone to understand! Glad you enjoyed it anyway!
@richard-baron Thanks so much! You're definitely right that the "game feel" is a bit lacking. Would have loved more time to get it right.
@bluemaus hahahahaha the resemblance is definitely there! My pixel art skills are still wanting :sweat_smile:
I like the humor of the game, the fact i'm playing a joke and this is incredibly funny, good submission!
I have no idea what I just played, but I'm loving it.
It was a nice little political boss fight game :D Isn't too hard once you figure out all the patterns. Bouncing eu stars back is a must!
Whew, that was tough.... took my dumb brain forever to realize that the best attack was reflecting the stars back.

Spent most of that battle at a 1/2 heart, I completely cheesed it by going to the *veeeeery* right of the screen during the money attack. Might want to fix that. 😅
This game made me smile! The dance was spot on! Nicely done :smile:
Hahaha. I saw you post about this when it was under development and I'm so happy you finished it! I nearly wet myself when she danced her way on screen :D Bravo!!
Absolutely hilarious. The dancing queen part gets me every time.
I think the attack could do with a bit more polish to make it feel meatier. Maybe even having a light/heavy attack that I can weigh my choices when fighting her so I can either deal more damage or have more mobility.
Great job!
Great game but background needs some more work but I love the crisp pixel style.
Wow good execution of this joke! Fun to play!
Hahaha, I like it. Reminds me of a boss fight in an 8/16-bit game. I crushed her in one minutetheresa.png
@lucas-thomaz thanks! I'm glad you found it funny :)
@grizeldi I thought that might be a problem for some people, but glad it was good if a little absurd!
@barrier I'm glad you found the "pro-strats"!
@peace-of-cake-games Thanks for sharing your time! I've added you to the leaderboard. I think the cheesing is fine - if you figure it out, you can abuse it! All good ;)
@icedjam The dance is my favourite part as well!
@guntrip Thanks for coming back and playing it and the kind words :)
@deprecat Thanks for the feedback, and I think you're 100% right. Better movement and game feel was high on my list of things to do, but I prioritised the attacks and humour over it. Given a bit more time I would have loved to make it feel better to play, as you're right that it's not as good as it could be!
@varundevs Thanks! I agree - a blue background isn't very interesting.
@jonah That's all I wanted - the game to be a joke :D
@vectrex28 Wow, that's a great time! You're top of the leaderboard. Early videogame boss fights was exactly the kind of feel I was trying to replicate!
Hey hey, I'm not british, but played anyways, thanks for submitting to stream! Here's a link to the vod if you'd like to rewatch; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1169813985
This is a very fun little game! Absolutely enjoyed it! I wish I was British enough to understand every little bit of humor, but I still had a good laugh at it!
Nice work on difficulty progression too. It took me a few tries but I manged to beat it!
I recorded my playthrough of your game. If you'd like to see here's a recording of it: https://youtu.be/cXpAExWjwSw Your game starts at 1:30:45
Never knew I needed a Theresa May boos fight on Pico before. This was hella fun, cheers !
The art is very good and the humor is truly funny. The game feels a little too hard
This is a very different interpretation of the theme. I like this. Great dancing animation done in a simple way. Controls are tight and good. I would have liked the attack collision range to be a bit more forgiving, especially for the EU stars. Cool!
It was pretty funny. I liked Theresa May's facial expressions. I agree with some of the previous comments that the collision and gameplay felt a bit difficult to use.
As an american, I didn't really know who I was fighting, although I figured it was some sort of politician and still found it funny. I really liked watching the different attack phases, especially the dancing one. It might've been nice if you bounced off eachother when landing hits. I felt like a lot of the game was me trying not to run into Theresa after my attacks. Other than that, great submission.
Funny game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/T1tx-BQwhE0

Perhaps I'm a bit more British than I thought, understanding most of these jokes. :smile:
Regardless, this was wonderful, silly fun. Nice job!
good game and also funny.
Really fun take on the theme, nailed it! I saw your game in a post while the Jam was on, made me laught so hard hahaha! :D
I was just waiting for the field of wheat. And those damn kitten heals. You'll have to shoe-horn "build back better" into the next dare! Well done. I liked how her eyes followed you around the level. Perhaps a 8-bit D-ream, or abba would be approriate.
