Lol nice one, felt easy at first but really it really increased in the difficulty. You managed to create a lot of different faces as well which was nice. Good job!

junklab 2022-04-04 23:01

Cool concept, I can definitely see this evolving into a fully fledged game. One thing I would suggest would be some kind of positive / negative feedback when the player chooses the face, just to give a bit more impact for the decision. You could even add some kind of visual or audio cue to indicate you're disastrously close to running out of time. Overall fun game!

(Is that a live leaderboard? If so that's awesome :P)

stamestratagem 2022-04-04 23:22

@junklab Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately the leaderboard can show only your own results for now, but we would love to make a public one

Great use of the theme!

When I started I thought to myself "hmm, this is fairly easy, I could probably do this forever....". It took me a second to realize that that was the point!

Cute arcade style matching game!! Simple but it truthfully made me yell out loud at 4am LMAO...ssccc.png

reronin 2022-04-05 09:08

Harder than it seems on first glance! Got to 39 after a few tries.

I love the music as well!

@reronin we're glad if you enjoyed it, thanks for playing! You can get quite good if you repeat, but it is possible that we will do a tiny rebalancing later

heremeus 2022-04-05 09:23

This is an interesting concept! The art was pretty cool! Not sure if it's my "face blindness" or just me being bad, but I only got to 17 after a few attempts :laughing:

stamestratagem 2022-04-05 09:31

@heremeus some of the differences are VERY subtle, so you need a few rounds to kind of just "see" them instead of "watching" them :D

raphiell 2022-04-05 17:02

Did the pig have a 4chan logo on it's forehead? Anyways, was fun! Well done.

stamestratagem 2022-04-05 17:29

@raphiell no, that is a clover :D

meep 2022-04-05 18:45

Fun little matching game :D It started out a little unclear how it would progress but this did a really good job of scaling the difficulty with the choices of face differences. Great work!

fog-ryu 2022-04-05 21:48

Nice iteration of the 7 mistakes game! I only managed to get to 36 but it was cool. Some of them are pretty hard with the timer! Well done!

Quick and engaging. I loved it. 5078.

tyler-miller 2022-04-06 03:48

Quick and easy! I like this idea, thought about something similar for a previous jam. Glad to see how well it plays, good job!

dactarium 2022-04-06 04:21

Real Time Mandela effect. Perfect art design :sparkling_heart:

brads-space 2022-04-06 14:14

Simple concept but done very well, nice work!

tigerj 2022-04-06 15:57

This is one of my favorite entries so far. I wanted to keep streaming it but was running out of time and had to play more games in the queue. Thank you for making this crazy fun game. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1447965941?t=02h15m56s

stamestratagem 2022-04-06 16:43

@tigerj thank you so much for the feedback! We will come back to you with mobile view and online leaderboard!

tan-games 2022-04-06 19:11

Nice idea. Well executed. Got to 37 after few tries.

anaxie-studio 2022-04-06 21:02

I love love love the aesthetics! The art is so simple but looks so slick and unique. The music synced up with my clicks and it was really cool. I also love your choice of faces and the little references. Global leaderboards would indeed be cool. Liked it overall!

A nice and enjoyable game! I think I did pretty good here: https://i.imgur.com/2aTGtAQ.png It probably helped that I saw this played on stream before, but still... ;)

I love the way it slowly ramps up the difficulty, first by making the faces more and more complex, then by introducing non-faces and familiar looking images to throw you off.

And for a game about a beast trying to literally steal your face, the art style is really cute. I also really like the background music, though it makes me feel more like it's a friendly game evening rather than me fighting for my survival. ;)

haayaargh 2022-04-06 22:38

I played your game on stream today. It was really fun. Fast fun. The faces were really cool. It was great to spot some actors, historical figures and especially meme characters. As we talked, it would fare well on mobiles but I understand it takes a bit more time :) Good job!

jvdwijk 2022-04-06 23:29

This was a solid experience, easy to understand and fun to play through! The later pictures got a bit more difficult which added to the difficulty curve. Great submission!

stamestratagem 2022-04-06 23:46

@haayaargh thanks so much for the feedback and for playing! We'll do our best on the updates. It was amusing to watch you play, seeing the reactions on our work is a priceless experience

sheol 2022-04-07 04:57

I'm so bad at games like these but I still had fun haha! I like how easy it was to understand and really get going. The difficulty curve felt just right too!

chriiis88 2022-04-07 20:46

Wait, how have there been 31 people rating this game before me, but the leaderbord was empty?

Really entertaining and complete game for a minute or so of downtime. I got 48.

stamestratagem 2022-04-07 20:48

@chriiis88, we are glad that you enjoxed the game! ^^ the leaderboard is local, only your own can be displayed in the current version

moooks 2022-04-08 02:44

Simple but extremely fun, it also gets quite difficult as you go on. Great entry!

jani-brezavscek 2022-04-08 06:24

That was fun! I've enjoyed waking up my brain :smile: Cool idea that fits into the theme!

elysiagriffin 2022-04-09 01:46

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

If you’d like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1450167991?t=01h26m40s

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

Cool game! Had a fun time playing it! Would've been cool to have a global leaderboard, or perhaps it is a global and the WebGL version just didnt connect. Nice work either way 😊

marc-antoine-girard 2022-04-10 21:21

Loved it! Such a simple concept, yet I played way too much because of the leaderboard. Tho, it was a local one for me, it did help me to see my progression hahaha. Got 7130 points!

elysiagriffin 2022-04-11 13:01

Tried the game off stream, heres the highscore I managed to get. Wish there was a global leaderboardUntitled.png

stamestratagem 2022-04-11 19:43

@elysiagriffin that is more than my high score :D the leaderboard is now online and you're so on it

recursor 2022-04-11 20:20

A nice simple idea that was well-executed. I had fun with it.

lbrande 2022-04-11 21:22

Innovative and fun!

sleepystudios 2022-04-13 23:26

Started out thinking this was really easy but actually the difficulty ramped up nicely and I liked the huge variety in faces. Everything was really intuitive and stylish, nice work!

theheheo 2022-04-15 21:40

Really cool! This was really fun actually. Really liked the artstyle and all the different illustrations. Overall the game felt really polished:D Good job! Hope you had a fun jam!

saintchristopher777 2022-04-16 13:47

Nice work - simple and fun! Art style is good, and the background track works well. Difficulty ramps up quick. Great work!

rewzu 2022-04-16 13:51

Neat aesthetics and decent audio. Simple and polished game. Nice work! :D

sibi 2022-04-16 13:53

Really cool minigame! Love the artstyle and am really impressed by the amount of content you created for this!

holysparks 2022-04-16 14:08

It is a really unique take, I liked it! And that bass loop is pretty great too.

guzzungo 2022-04-16 15:19

Nice. More a reflex-coordination-observation test than a game. But really funny

coleslaughter 2022-04-17 05:57

A nice, fun, simple game! I thought I would kill at it. Turns out I'm actually terrible at it...

baconinvader 2022-04-17 14:31

Nice job, was impressed by the amount of faces you managed to draw.
