I saw the notification for this and am on it like a rat on a Cheeto. Will be back with my thoughts :)

Edit: Unique idea, gameplay, and artwork as usual! I couldn't nail the sassy pose to save my life but had a blast dabbin'. The end screen was a nice touch! For some reason, on my first playthrough, the shutter wouldn't start. I restarted the game and the 10 second timer kicked in.

I got 5-star pictures! The gestures are so cute. And physics is very interesting! photo.png

Dig the class of 2022 images at the end. Funny game and a bit difficult to get a perfect pose!

Great work as always! Somehow I was having trouble in draging everyone's right arms but its again a classic keyboard cowboys' project lmao. Love it!

Fun little game that I enjoyed ;) And I like the creativness of it. Well Done!

zhuyao 2022-10-04 17:23

Funny entry!I tried several times and enjoyed it!

Very creative entry, and a very elegant theme interpretation.

The ending screen was a nice touch. I also liked the humor and the graphics.

I had a lot of trouble getting the people in the desired pose, dragging the limbs was really difficult. But I suppose that's the way it should be :slight_smile:

Great work!

"For that 10 seconds or less, I'm free." YO you're not gonna believe this, but for my HS senior picture, my quote was actually "I'm not running!". I could practically quote that whole movie back in the day lol. I ended up afking a few more runs just to see what quotes you guys threw in there.

Game was super fun to play around with. I think the janky controls (which honestly seems like a nightmare to code) + the constant wiggling bodies were totally necessary to make it interesting. A perfect doll with joints would've been trivial and a totally different game.

Presentation is so good. Nostalgic backgrounds (the laser BG cost extra at our school!). I was praying there would be a yearbook section at the end and you delivered on that.

Best custom pose I could pull off. The face of someone crossing the street at the wrong time: asdf1.png

Very cool game. I'm curious how difficult the implementation was! The 3D art looks surprising cool for a jam game.

Love it! The muppet looking characters were so fun and the class quotes with my pictures at the end were hilarious! Great jam game!

Great idea for a game) Nice graphics :)

trexxak 2022-10-05 20:58

ohhh, I was immediately reminded of [this game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/doin-it-live), which is a good thing :D.

Maybe it's something on my end, but it felt a bit clunky to move the puppets around, which was kind of frustrating, ngl. At the same time, I can totally see coding those puppets must've been even worse :'D

But all in all I loved it still, the art and especially the ending screen with the quotes of the students provoked not only a few chuckles :D

I came back here remembering that weird rhythm game with an old lady's neurons from a previous Ludum Dare. You guys are still making awesome stuff here. This game is great, it is fun and the tone is right. The only thing that was a bit difficult to understand is the first dude. I waited 10 secs and nothing happened, then I understood it was some kind of tutorial and waiting for the position to be perfect.

mhorth 2022-10-05 22:29

I don't know why, but reading "and his name is JOHN CENA!" as one of the yearbook quotes made me lose it :laughing: Exactly the right kind of goofy fun that I love about your team's games.

One thing I'd suggest whenever picking things randomly is to implement some rules such as "each choice has to be picked once before anything can repeat". I think I got 5 or 6 dab poses in a row before anything else. Still had fun, just a small thing to keep in mind for certain types of games.

jamdong15 2022-10-06 01:56

Hehe, this game is so funny, I loved it so much!! So goofy and fun. It's quite simple but it knows exactly what it is and does it perfectly. I have no feedback, honestly. For what it is, it's perfect!

Also – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :)

hawkin 2022-10-06 02:44

Another instant classic from the team. This one has so much laid back charm, a refreshing change of pace from your speed run challenge last LD (for me anyway, lol).

The randomization was a fantastic choice -- I never got to tune in, so I don't know if this was particularly challenging. I could have done with a bit more variety of poses, but I started freestyling by the end of it. Some of my favorites!

Loved the art and attention to detail as always, especially the opportunity to review all my photos at the end! Great work dudes!

(Edit: no camera timer indicator??)

substain 2022-10-07 18:31

fun, refreshing idea! I only encountered two different poses (4 with mirrored ones), are there more?

amarokczukay 2022-10-07 18:46

this is so funny! funny to play, funny to look at. sometimes i was sure the position was right but the picture was labeled as good, and vice versa, but that didn't really matter to me :)

link270 2022-10-07 19:01

haha This was really funny! Sometimes it would say my picture was bad when it should have been good, and good when it should have been bad, and sometimes the arms and stuff would just freak out, but overall it worked really well and was a good time. Nice work!

honest-dan 2022-10-07 22:48

really unique idea, delivered with amazing presentation, mood and most importantly - SASS! You guys are great at creating really original ideas and delivering them well. Grats my loves

sean-esopenko 2022-10-08 03:03

Found you in your strea. How do I get the 10 second timer to go? Or do I just strike a pose with unlimited time?

dominic-graziano 2022-10-08 03:16

I played it, and I "helped these student look their best!". it was funny and felt low stakes and light hearted which is great. nicely done!

yoko-san 2022-10-08 04:53

fun game and interesting concept! I like it! :D

it might be my computer, but it took me a while to move the limbs

dingledorf 2022-10-08 06:05

Loads of fun! The quotes in the yearbook at the end were just the cherry on top. Really polished experience too. Great work!

thyoi 2022-10-08 11:46

Great game, I really enjoyed it

I played it many times just wanted to get a perfect dab

tsfreddie 2022-10-10 08:16

Never thought dabbing would be hard.

neeko69 2022-10-11 14:28

Really unique idea! a bit challenging, tho would be nice if had a bit more poses, apart from the mirrors one. The music is really nice, the final photos with the names and description are really funny

kuggenhoffen 2022-10-12 18:36

Wow, that's an awesome game right there! Feels super polished and well made, especially like how the characters look. Occasionally there was some weirdness with the physics and it was impossible to get the hands in front of the body. Such a nice game!

artofluba 2022-10-15 02:43

Hah I was totally not expecting this game to be what it is. Really unique idea! Of course, it was challenging to get the pose right but that's the point. Nice little entry for LD51! Thanks for sharing.

rage-paint-games 2022-10-15 03:36

Very fun game. Loved moving the characters around and seeing their poses at the end. Was really happy with the gallery at the end of the game. Gives you time to slow down and really appreciate your pictures at the end :)

It would have been nice to see if the timer was almost up. I would go to make a tweak last second thinking I had time and a picture would snap.

I don't know why but this ended up being my favorite. Untitled.png

cole-and-jordan-studios 2022-10-15 05:38

Awesome! Great jank physics, great puppet models and texture, very fun in-spite, or perhaps because, of how difficult it is to get them to actually do anything right. Funny yearbook quotes. Nice work!

This, was a fantastic entry! I'm not even saying that just because you guys streamed my game, which, by the way, I can't thank you guys enough for giving my game a try. I really really loved every bit of this. The creativity here is just so damn good. I love how everybody looks like a Muppet. The 3D models are great and the janky ragdoll just fits this so well. Honestly its such a perfect jam entry, definitely something that can only be pulled off with some serious talent. My only criticism would be that I wish there was a timer for when your 10seconds are up, but I suppose its part of that 80's/90's theme that's going on here. A job well done and thank you for making this game!
