Very well designed game. A fun kind of tinker about style game. The only thing I'd change is that I wish I could pick up chewed gum that I dropped. Other than that, great game, honestly. Can't wait to see what you do next jam.

It's a little frustrating to have gum stick to something you didn't intended to, but that is definitely part of the fun, cool stuff :thumbsup:

Loved the mouth lol

Fun little game. Really fun to just tinker around

Fun game, I love how all the mechanics mesh together and I love the quirky theme, a lot of fun to play around with, great visuals to match the silly gameplay

Best physics based balance game I've seen here, great use of the theme and it's very fun to play. There are also tons of ways to solve a level which I really like. I do wish there was an easy and quick restart button and it took me a while to find out how to chew. Other than that this game is one of my favorites

This was really fun. Watching your own demise because you've built too high without fixing the base is both heart breaking and hilarious. The game breeds experimentation through the different items.

With that being said, there were a few items that I never found a good use for; the toothpicks didn't seem to do much, but they could have been used to pierce through gum sticks or something like that. I also never used the chain as it didn't seem rigid enough.

Having to use the scroll wheel to chew and to move the camera was a bit annoying, although I understand why you'd have it like that for the camera (if you're already holding an item you can't really use the left mouse button to move it).

The graphics are fairly basic but they serve the game, you don't really need much more.

There could have been some background music, it felt a bit empty without it.

this game is really creative, the mechanics are really well done and the level ideas are great as well, I love it

Fun building game! I think the jaws collision box should be a bit bigger so you dont have to follow the jaw with the cursor when having it chew would be nice, it would allow the player to save a bit of time. But other than that, it was pretty fun!

creative use of the physics. I love the fact that you have to acutally chew the gum and break the sticks with the mouth. The UI was a bit difficult to read because it was cut off at the edges of the screen. Other than that: nice entry and a creative take on the theme.

Really fun to play! CLear and solid game goal and the physics is very good

Very fun tower building game! I really love how wacky and weird the whole thing is. The mouth was an amazing addition. I did feel like the mouse wheel was too slow and unresponsive for most things though. Great job overall!

Found this super challenging, but very fun and fitting with the theme. Cool idea to chew the gum lol.

nyles 2021-10-09 04:22

The mouth was really strange.

Nice graphics. Interesting mechanics in general. Fun gum mechanics. Excellent tutorial. But for some reason there is no desire to play further. I got to the stones and finished. Maybe I just don't like building unstable towers.

Great game,very fun I love how when you eat the rock you get a tooth.

jessefreeman 2021-10-10 16:39

Interesting mechanic. I think it could be really fun if you tighten up the controls and make it a bit clearer how to build things. I dropped a lot of gum and sticks by accident on each other with no way to pull them apart.

itsboats 2021-10-11 03:31

This game was hilarious! The interactions with the mouth were clever and the physics felt fair, even if it was really difficult xD

The objects and background really helps sell the setting, I feel like I'm really back in elementary school eating gum, sticks, and glue again!

I love this game but is very hard to control it

mar3k 2021-10-11 12:45

Very cool game, I love the humorous touch and the gameplay is nice as well. Also the "unstable" theme fits here very well. Well done.

Nice game, seemed like there game window was slightly too small. I think the scrolling to chew was slightly annoying and a click would have been better.

Very cool idea and it's a fun game. I have a soft spot for World of Goo and your game reminded me of it. After I figured out how I have to play the game, it was a really fun experience. The combination of using bubble gum as mortar and then placing the block was quite fun :)

cg-fred 2021-10-17 15:19

Love the gag reflex :) Very interesting game idea and great take on theme. Took a figure out how everything worked but after that it was a lot of fun. Well done!

Nice game, I think I'm just too bad to play hahaha. I messed up a lot by sticking the gum in places I didn't want to. For me is a very fun game. A small personal opinion is that I'd prefer to chew the gum by clicking and dragging rather than using the scroll wheel.

vivyhasadream 2021-10-21 00:28

it's so oddly fun to me. I like the concept. it's not easy to control the glue, toothpick and the chain, and sometimes I just suddenly messed up the structure. but I think it fit in the theme and mood well. good job!
