Wow! That's a fun game! It's kinda emberassing how long I've spend on it. Visuals are beautiful (although I have some questions to random green check), music is cathy and very fitting, voice over is just a perfection. I did struggle to hear tutorial (my inglesh is very best), so having subtitles would be nice. But even without them, it was very understandable, fun and pure joy to play. Will defenetly come back later to see all the jokes!
Whaaat this feels professional! Really similar to jackbox games in tone. Nice job :D
Pretty fun game! I'm a master at dad jokes so I found it pretty easy, but for those with a language barrier it might be a tricky game.
Nice work and excellent use of the theme - making sure players know how to deliver a joke!
This was very well put together. A good collection of jokes. You have a good voice for voice acting. One criticism I have is that you right / wrong answer comments tend to grate after a while. But I thoroughly enjoyed playing.
Great interpretation of the theme. Feels really polished and even if it isn't the most difficult game it's fun to play!
Such a cool concept ! I love it. The style and vibe of the game are spot on. But the best part, aside of the dad's jokes, are the sound effects and music! The tutorial with your voice is perfect. Really strong game, I am amazed :smiley:
Looks nice, funny puns, amazing voiceover! Great quality overall!
I like the take on the theme, though I recall you saying I "won't encounter the same joke twice". What a fool you are, for I ran into the same joke about bees humming "because they don't know the words" twice. fwahahaaa!
Anyway, here's 45 minutes of me reading these in a single play-through. Good lord.

@100th-coin Wow. I never expected anyone to spend so long messing with my little experience. I checked on the bees humming joke and found that it had been duplicated somehow, so thanks for finding that. I've fixed it in the jokes database. Also, your marathon play session has made me realize that if there are no jokes left, the game will just sit there. That's something I'll need to fix at some point.
Nice take on the theme! Even with the minimalistic art it feels super snappy and polished with the animations, text pop up and sound. It always did seem obvious what the correct punchline was but not sure how to solve that. Perhaps having the non answers at least make a correct sentence, but this being a jam and the sheer amount of jokes that would be a lot :sweat_smile:.
Love the voices in this, not sure I am a dad though, got too many strikes
Was kinda hard for a non english native speaker, but it felt so polished !
MY JAW DROPPED, IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!

no more questions.png I think I ran out of questions...
Very nice. Very polished and everything fits well. There are some typos but I'll overlook that. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Voice-over was really well done. Good job
@bixarrio Kudos for sticking with it all the way to the end. You have my appreciation. Also, I went through the jokes and corrected several misspellings, so that should be less of an issue. Also I have a fix for the 'no more jokes' state in-process. Thanks for the feedback.
I feel like I've said this a lot for other games but it also applies to this game -- super innovative and pun (pun intended). I had a great time playing this and loved thinking about the puns.
I did wish the puns came quicker or there was some timer. It was a little easy to choose the right pun.
Well executed - very polished - very simple - and actually easy enough - even though english isn't my first language... so finding the right one likely takes a little longer. Good job :thumbsup_tone1:
Great joke and a clever game! Honestly, many of the jokes in the game were new to me, and now I can share them with my friends!
Very polished! Very nice voice-over! Very good graphics! Great puns! GJ!
Dad simulator. It's a very polished experience and it's easy to do the infinite click cycle since there is no end in sight. I'm impressed at how professional it feels all around! Well executed and very innovative.
Like others have said, the polish is very nice. The introduction was short, sweet, and to the point. The music and audio were perfectly matched with the tone of the game.
What do you call fellow devs who enjoyed That's So Punny during this game jam?
Jelly ;)
super clever and well done... had a really good time :)
Nice little game and amazing polish ! Very catchy audio too.
Oh neat!! We had "joke delivery" on our brainstorm board for this jam and ended up doing something else, so I'm glad to have across a game that went with that interpretation. As others have said, this is very well polished and the voice over was great, especially those "haha's" to the dad jokes. Great job!
Ok... this was SUPER amazing!!! Love the unique take! So much polish and the cheesy voice-over really added to it all! :laughing:
I actually had an idea at one point to do a stand up comedian 'delivering' jokes...but wasn't exactly sure how to pull it off. Was something about choosing different punchlines to get the audience to laugh the most etc.

But I love this execution! It's a lot of fun, and a part I liked is seeing how nonsensical some of the other answers are. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
If you wanted to add some additional depth, you could potentially have some scoring system, so rather than right or wrong answers, it's more least funniest to most? So then people could compare scores based on how funny their answers are? idk. it was just an idea that came to mind.
I love this as it is. But how may jokes did you have to enter??? That's impressive.
Great puns. Also, don't know it it was intentional but the game works fine on mobile without any changes.
What a catalog of puns, super fun idea for a game, but I'm not sure the quiz format helped out the humor. Even still a hardy chuckle on some of these, and it worked on mobile! Maybe it just needed a laugh track:) nicely done!
Wonderful! Thanks for the extra dad-joke ammo to inflict on the kids! Nice clean interface and music, and I really liked the voice instructions and responses. Excellent work!
