WHAT A MASTERPIECE! I love weird games like this. It's so cool!

@raivk Thanks, we loved your screengrab so much that we made it our title image!

AHHHHAHAHAHAHA this game is so fun to play! Been smiling all the way down. Good job!

Love the idea behind this game. Really funny concept and the artwork matched the mood perfectly.

Haha, great entry! Music and sound design is great, it's bursting with humor, and the gameplay is simple and fun. Controls can be a bit hard to get used to at first but can be mastered with time. It fits the theme very well.

Very fun. I love the snippets of story as you progress, really makes you wonder what's going on inside that fully covered noggin!

Super fun little game, played it all the way through. I need to know more of the inner machinations of his dark and twisted mind. The sound and music and was great, loved the dogs singing along.

Hahaha, the ending made me laught. Your game is great (gameplay, music, graphics and humor), this is a very very nice submission.

That ending also made *me* laugh! It was completely unexpected, but also made perfect sense, given what we knew about this character.

I really enjoyed this game, even though the keyboard controls were *really* hard! It felt a lot like a WarioWare game in terms of humor/aesthetics, which I really dug! I really liked the facial expressions that the character made after each level, they were very charming.

The only real complaint that I have is that you couldn't readjust anything after placing it on your head - I had to replay the last level a few times because the wind kept blowing everything to one side of the head or the other, but not knocking it off, so I would end with very poor coverage, and it felt like there was nothing I could do about it.

Overall though, great job!

Looking good, feeling good!

This was great! Really reminded me of WarioWare in terms of asthetic and similar minigame. I thought the controls felt pretty awkward on keyboard but controller felt great. I like how you had to maximize coverage on your head not just get a certain number of object on your head. Really enjoyed this game!

Love the mood! I was pretty hard to play on keyboard but i liked the idea. I probably have to dust of my gamepad and try it with it. Nice job

lilianc 2022-04-06 22:36

It's really silly, I love it ! Really enjoyed cooking up the most ridiculous head possible

fc85057 2022-04-08 03:32

Absolutely and utterly ridiculous. In the best way possible. Very clever take on the theme. Graphics and audio match beautifully. Very good sense of humor.

Nice and absurd! I didn't make it to the end, I Was 5 or so levels in when I Scored a 49% after some items had just slipped off his head and I felt a little sad. :D At one point I noticed white text on a white background (the coverage percentage against a cloud in the back) and couldn't read the result.

I really wish there was some clear feedback on hitting Z and grabbing. It took some struggling at the start trying to figure out what I had to do. A grab frame and a fail and succeed sound for instance would've helped. Currently pressing Z when there's nothing to grab doesn't tell me what Z actually does.

Loved the art, a nice and cooky style. Music helped set the tone. All in all a very fun entry!

chingle 2022-04-08 15:54

Very funny game! I really like the humor!

velvetlobster 2022-04-08 16:04

I love this interpretation of the theme, and the graphics in this make it even more hilarious it took me a while to figure out that the hairs were sticking to the face.

not sure what I am doing but I think I won :laughing:

WEVE GOT A WINNER!! No really, this is THE BEST game on here. It's a new concept, that fits the theme perfectly, it's got an OST, and I love the little details you absolutely didn't need to include but did anyway! The eyes shaking, the dog barking when you pick up the poodles, the CONSTANT breaks of expectation with the new items you can catch, this is honestly a masterclass in funny game design. You guys get a round of applause from me.

batkoi 2022-04-08 16:08

Nice game. I kinda liked the keyboard controls for added difficulty. Small details like taking your own tie or mustache to wear it on the head is a nice touch. Love the dog.

oddsocks 2022-04-09 11:53

Hahaha, awesome game. Humour was high in this one, and it was a really interesting take on the theme. Great LD entry :raised_hands:

borabee 2022-04-10 15:51

Super fun and original take on the theme hahaha I really liked all the possible items, the cumbersome-ness of the controls and all the different scenarios!

Only nitpick is, in some levels, the white font of the score is unreadable against the clouds in the background. Otherwise, pretty awesome game, congrats!!

Very unusual project.There is something is this game i cannot explain but i liked it

maychant 2022-04-13 03:03

I already started laughing after seeing the thumbnail. I like how you take fur or feather from other animals but with the poodle you just grab the whole dog. The keyboard control is a bit slippery but it works better with the thumbstick.

Doesn’t load in Safari, spits out the following error to console: ``` [Error] Unhandled Promise Rejection: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded. (anonymous function) (WebBuild.loader.js:1:5776) promiseReactionJob ```

Worked ok in Firefox.

Lots of fun despite the frustrating keyboard controls. Funniest part was when I tried to grab something that moved behind the guy and ended up grabbing his own tie to put on his head (and then he had another tie underneath, like he planned for this! Had to use that one too, of course). Only suggestion would be to leave more time with the score and the guy visible for taking screenshots. I thought I managed to do something… sort of stylish(???) but it faded to black while I was reaching for the screenshot keys.

eldogg 2022-04-21 15:55

This guy is very good looking.

Enjoyed this, really liked the audio at the end of the level where the main theme resolves itself, its very nice for the heart to feel.

Good job with this, in a few years I'll be grabbing an alley cat before my job interview too.
