First entry to evaluate and... wow! I hope they're all this good! Very impressive, congratulations to the team! It looks super polished, and the jazzy music is nice. Sometimes it's a bit unfair, as the rabbits aren't grabbed, and I didn't understand why. Also, I assume we're supposed to grab them by the ears, but I didn't understand how to control that, especially since it's already hard enough to grab them at all. Overall, it was fun and a pleasant discovery! Well done!
Just ASTONISHING

I love how cute it looks! even when you fail it looks cute! manku.png
Or when winning, she still looks like a nervous wreck and I love it haha! manku 2.png
The web page for it and the fact it runs in the browser are also great for how accessible it is. Good job!
Mangku-chan my beloved <3
I love this game! The mechanics are simple and easy to understand and the artstyle is way too cute! Everything feels very polished, especially for a jam game. Love the jazz music too. Excellent entry, well done!
God she is cute. The idea was very clever, but the rabbits were deceptively difficult to catch. But I hung on for Manku-chan <333 This felt like a finished mini-game and the graphics were very clean. A shame I couldn't watch her nerve her way through it all (she's just like me fr).
Awesome work on a such a fun little game~!
OMG this game is fabulous! The art is gorgeous and the vibe is perfection! The only bad thing about the game is that it took me a hot second to realize i could take the bunnies' hats off lol
This game was a vibe! I love the concept of being a twitch streamer and doing what you can to get ppl watching and donations. Art was amazing, animation was amazing. Everything was so cute. Fuck I think I'll try making a cute game next jam. Noticed there was only 1 programmer on your team. Poor guy hahaha

游戏完成度很高。美术设计UI音乐风格高度统一。美术又好看又潮，整体配色很舒服。以及很喜欢主角紧张挥舞手臂的小动画和抓住娃娃时发出的音效。玩的很开心！感谢你们制作的游戏~
The Art is so hecking good! Thank you for the eyecandy :D
你的这个美术风格我真的是太爱了，说真的，有没有考虑过做点表情包？很想在聊天的时候用一用。
Amazing game - addicting loop, cute art and wholesome animations!
the game is incredibly well polished. I wonder if it's possible to remove the hats off the bunnies AND catch the same one before they disappear :thinking:

The visuals are stunning! Though would like to see more mechanincs. E.g. huge donations that make you do some weird stuff (shake hand, slows you down cause you're shocked, etc.).

Nice visuals and interesting gameplay
I love how you all nailed the stream vibe - even the credits at the start as scrolling comments :)

Phenomenal art execution. Could see this being a great game with additional mini-games besides the bunny grabbing.

Funny and addictive game with a simple game loop and absolutely great graphics. Like, you can see how much love you poured into its UI design and animations! Great job!
Super impressive! The art, animation, and sound are very polished and cohesive. I didn't encounter any rough edges and everything felt complete! The gameplay could have been a bit more interesting but overall very solid.
I feel both targeted and seen, as a streamer. Love the background music and sfx. The cute character design was quite nice. I found this game engaging and intense, yet also weirdly zen. I think you did a great job, team. Thanks for sharing, Porchorr!

Awesome! I had a lot of fun playing it and the visuals are very well done! Great job you guys!
This is awesome!! I had so much fun playing it. It was clean, intuitive, the controls felt timed right. I want to make my friends play so I can read the chat and watch her expressions. Itch page looks amazing. It feels and looks great all around. Definitely will be looking at this game as motivation to polish up our stuff in future jams.
Haha epic. Big smiles the whole way through. Great job. The bun facial expressions were gold.
($900 buckaroos is a good way to flop XD)

omg this is great
I never expected a game where you play a magician streamer who pulls out rabbits to please her viewers. Such an interesting concept with a simple loop. I also love the twitch chats and donations, adding to the immersion.

This is a pretty interesting concept, and the mood and humor set in the game loop was great. Thank you for submitting! I didn't really see much wrong with anything here, and the art was great along with the polish.
The art absolutely floored me. SO amazing

I like the way the theme and the drawing are revealed. And it's also great that the game has some kind of development, for example, "rabbits in hats"

Thank you for making this game I hope to see more of you guys in the future!
Simply awesome!

It is a very cute game, I love the very well made assets and the overall mood of it! Thinking about a magician summoning bunnies from a hat in a live stream is probably one of the most unique ideas I have seen during the whole LD! And across the board, the art direction, UI, music, everything feels so good that it barely feels like something done in 3 days. Can't wait to play more things from your team, be at a Ludum or any future titles!

Very cool game! simple gameplay but some really great art, can't go wrong! Great Entry!
One of the most creative takes on the theme so far! Awesome stuff!

Simple, very fun, very polished and the art is gorgeous and so charming. At first I thought this was a regular full release on itch (I found it through recommended games there, and not through the ludum dare page). My only complaint was that I couldn't pay as much attention to the animations and chat because I had to look at the game. Would love to see this expanded upon, with perhaps a leaderboard and other mechanics.

Very cool idea! I love donations and using of twitch emotes there
Simple but addicting gameplay and gorgeous art. Implementation of the scoring is brilliant. Definitely in my personal top 3!

It is very beautifully drawn, but it is tiring to catch rabbits, since there is no development of mechanics, unfortunately. But this is not a complaint, just my impressions. Perhaps it could be meditative, but no, because since you need to aim your hand at rabbits and for every mistake you become a little irritated. But it was still very nice to play and thank you for such a gaming experience.
Really good game! It would be nice to be able to have the hand track closer to the mouse. The lagging resulted in me just waiting in the middle of the screen instead of chasing down the rabbits.
Wow. Really well done game. Surprised I've never seen a game where you play as a live streamer before. Seems like it was made to be gameified.
I Love it!
So Cool ideia. And so well built and polished.
Whoever came up with this idea deserves a medal. And whoever builds the game deserves two.
Congratulations!

Really cute game! I loved the art and Manku's design, and the framing of the game as a livestream was really cute! I think the gameplay was fun too, and I like how the challenge ramped up a bit with the hats on the rabbits.

You really impressed me with all the stuff that went into making this very focused gameplay interesting. The donation goals, the donations popping up, the chat flying by like it would in a real stream, the expressiveness of the magician and the rabbits. Everything was incredibly polished! I really tried to not miss anything just like in a real live stream - overwhelming and really fun! :smiley:

A very polished and nice experience. I did feel like the hand sometimes could've been a little more generous, for example for kicking off buckets it sometimes felt like it should've kicked it away, but it didn't. Still impressive though.

That was so much fun. I was definitely cookin' at the end there. Love the art and her nervous face. So good.
This oozes style and polish. The gameplay is simple but intuitive enough that it needs no words to explain it. It's incredibly cute and the animations are charming. I think some sort of scaling or duration to end the game would have been nice beyond the increase in carrots, but in general every aspect was quality. The music was lovely, the good and bad endings were very good, and I abslutely loved the chat and twitch donations coming in. Well done for a quality entry!
Loved the interpretation of the theme and the super polished art and presentation on this one!
I could see the gameplay upgraded a bit with maybe some multi-tasking mechanics (to stay true to the upcoming streamer experience) like * having to moderate your own chat by occasionaly clicking on toxic messages to not alienate other viewers * thanking donations by clicking on them when they appear, this could add some multiplier for future donos or dono chance * trying to summon items that chat requested other than the rabbits, to freshen up the main mechanic a bit
Anyhow, good job everyone!
PS: Think you forgot to include actual links to your socials in the credit section here.
I loved this game, even though Jerem ruined it for me and made me look like a fool with his high score and polite gloating. I played a lot and will definitely play it again when he is not here. I love the look and background and color - very good job.
I really enjoyed this. Interesting and unique take on the theme, and the art is top notch
I love it! So polished, very fun and so simple! Very good job and congrats to the programmer! Can't imagine one person programming the whole game

Had a good laugh ! I love how accurate the chat is, even though it kinda hurts. Well done guys !
This game was so much fun! You did a great job writing the chat messages, your main character design was adorable, and I LOVED the vibe of this game with the art and the music and all! It was a lot of fun to play around with, even with how simple of a game it was! Great job!

Wow! Incredible amounts of polish! Nice music, simple but enjoyable gameplay. The artstyle is so nice! UI is amazing, everything just looks so pretty! 11/10 visuals I have to say.
I am obsessed with how this game looks and sounds -- marvelous work! Mechanically it's very simple and the interpretation of the theme isn't *super* strong, but the presentation more than makes up for that. This was a pleasure to experience and I gave it quite a few shots as a result!
Really really cute game! I played this on stream, I wasn't super good at it! I felt the hand being a bit slow made it hard to pull off the thing where you knock the bucket off the bunny, which I really wanted to do! Overall really really well-polished though, good job!
