Really cool concept. I gave it a good play before my daughter crashed my stream. check out my live review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission

A cool concept with a combination of QTE and bottle dodges. My record is 38)

My Score was 44! Good take on the theme "Delivery" when we were brainstorming we had telling jokes on the list but couldnt think of a way to turn it into a game... and you have! The only thing I would say, is that I spend most of my time looking at the bottom of the screen where the arrow key sequences are, meaning I dont really have time to read the jokes, which feels like a shame. My one feedback therefore is to improve the layout/scaling of the user interface slightly so that you can see everything in front of you! Otherwise... I really like the fact that you can only enter the arrow keys when you are in the light, think that's a cool idea, like the environment and sounds... I like the 10000 bottles thrown at the end! Nice Game!

Recordbreaking 46 points! The bathtub broke my neck tho haha. Really neat concept, maybe a little music would've been nice to spice things up. Liked the art (although I'm pretty sure the title picture is AI generated) and the jokes were top tier, tough crowd.

A refreshing take on the theme, very cool!

I like how one joke was randomly in german. I wonder how you came up with all the jokes. Very fun but also very hard to dodge, read jokes and deliver jokes all at the same time.

A very interesting game at least in its mechanics. I would not want to be in the place of the main character to have a coffee pot flying at me) The jokes are also good.

Really captured the essence of being a comedian.

An unusual interpretation of the theme. It's a little hard to read the jokes, but the game is very funny.

anguium 2023-05-02 20:53

Really funny game, definitely my favorite story out of any game this jam. Made me crack up several times! Excellent job! :smiley:

broccolly 2023-05-02 21:04

This was our favourite game so far, fun to play and silly - made us laugh. It's hard to read the jokes while you're trying to dodge and move (but that made me feel even more like a worried comedian)

gord10ahmet 2023-05-02 21:04

Haha, great interpretation of the theme! And as said before, I wish it was easier to read the jokes while playing the game.

Hysterical. Loved the concept. The mechanics good be geared more towards dodging things the crowd throws at you to make the gameplay a little more engaging. Overall funny and creative use of the theme.

Great twist on the theme! Great gameplay mechanics, I enjoyed it a lot. Also, I have no idea why people are throwing bottles, these jokes are hilarious!

kuggenhoffen 2023-05-03 14:38

Such a clever take on the theme and nicely done gameplay mechanics. Awesome work!

pndaa 2023-05-03 15:00

I made 49 points !

The security really didn't do their job here... How did people bring their baths into the room ! :angry:

The game is fun and funny ! It is easy to understand because it is simple (in a good way) and challenging.

Good job !

It seems to me that instead of a mini-game in the form of pressing arrows, it was possible to make a type-simulator. Like before a joke, you would need to enter some word that is associated with it. There is also a problem that you need to look at two parts of the screen at once at the same time: press the buttons, and watch objects fly, and so try to read jokes (you don't have time to do this at all). Well, the theme is very stretched for me. But the idea itself is cool. Good luck to you.

A complicated game to play and get to read some jokes at the same time, while avoiding objects thrown. An easier approach would make it one very cool "deliver a joke" experience. The idea is quite interesting, overall.

protowlf 2023-05-04 07:19

Love "Delivery" as delivery of a joke! Got a chuckle out of me with all the junk getting thrown on stage.

Really nice job with the polish. Great feedback in the UI, character felt good.

The main criticism is I think it was tuned too easy, I was able to keep a full meter pretty much indefinitely.

poppy-entertainment 2023-05-04 09:25

fun game, really liked the fact that you are so bad at telling jokes people throw objects at you, it made me laugh

aaronkaa 2023-05-04 09:25

Great twist with the theme. Loved the jokes.

natirlich 2023-05-05 09:45

I really liked how you delivered the topic heh. Since I am addicted to puns I was very curious how you've implemented jokes in general. I liked the gameplay and It's more or less doable but it was very hard when the people throw more stuff (crazy, how they got mixers, washing mashines and tubes with them, they must be hulk ;D no critic though, I liked that somehow xD) and typing simultaniously. Reading the jokes as well was sometimes impossible for me. I'd suggest to make a voice over for the jokes if you ever work on this further. All in all it's a fun game with cool options and fitting graphic, it feels kinda finished (but as the people throw more, the chains of typing grow and one can't read the jokes anymore it feels a bit unbalanced). Good job there :3

pretty fun --- I like that the thrown objects remain on-stage --- after a while I wanted to see the game over screen so I only focused on the arrow keys and not the thrown items anymore --- got to 50! --- happy to see we're not the only ones who created games using Undeal :grinning: :sparkles:

chocoland-tv 2023-05-08 16:55

i like the art of get the Theme =D really nice idea, unfortunately I would like to read the jokes =D if you create the game, you can see the dan.

glaas 2023-05-09 11:43

58! Extremely well executed! Small complaint is I would have loved to understand better where projectiles are supposed to land, like with a reticle or something. Sometimes, I really thought I dodged and... Here's a bathtub.

Really great! One of my fave for the jam

sebhulhu 2023-05-13 22:12

37 :D Really liked the experience :-) Cool idea and really innovative approach to theme :D

krzymsky 2023-05-15 20:25

Nice take on the theme. Love the audience sounds. But it was quite difficult to avoid the objects and at the same time trying to repeat the pattern

bonkibot 2023-05-20 00:14

The concept is really interesting and fun! I think the text is too fast to read properly
