Wonderful vibes! Great sound, funky visuals, craze and a personal touch. All those things I enjoy very much, thank you for making it :smile:

The questions were hilarious and the music was great. Visuals were psychedelic and I loved that

AMAZING

Gloriously weird. Once I worked out the mechanic and goal, I started having more fun and appreciating the bizarre humour. Next time I feel under pressure I'll be sure to try growing more necks to relieve it.

I feel like I was tripping on hard drugs playing this game. I have no idea what is going on or what I need forks, but sure. I would have liked a little more direction, and the game didn't really seem to fit the theme.

Music and overall vibe was fun, character animation is great! Questions were fun, but I did not really get what's the objective and why the questions impacted stats the way it did.

Weirdest and funniest game I've played today. I was questioning every second of it, but I loved it! ^w^

I wasn’t entirely sure what the game was about or why I was earning points, but it was a lot of fun! I focused on not losing all my points and somehow made it to the end. And yes — mission accomplished! Feeling proud of myself!

sashunyar 2024-10-08 17:45

By the way, it worked perfectly on my Mac! At least, I think so.

Hah! What an interesting game! Loved the weird rigging and animation on my little character - very much dig the strange vibes. Great work!

rickylee 2024-10-08 19:00

I most certainly have the creamy cheeks, and yes I'm here to hurt you. I died because I lost too much clout. 5/5 game I just love everything about it is such a vibe hahaha :)

onlysleptfor4hourstdy 2024-10-08 19:07

i have tried multiple times running the game, pressed every button i can press but there was no response. Its was pretty sad since the visual and concept are both super cool. Hopefully I can try this game someday. (windows user btw)

I risked all my clout, but a man sometimes have to bet everything for the most chicken nuggies

cassreads 2024-10-09 01:05

This game is such a VIBE! Loved the music and the little characters!

bloodfin 2024-10-09 01:07

Delightful music and had me laughing throughout! Great job!

ogma-badparenting101 2024-10-09 01:48

Holy shit, i dont know why but i loved that game hahaha Great job!

pete-valeo 2024-10-10 06:02

Unreal. Not sure what the deal is, but it works. Extremely strong vibe (albeit hard to pin down) but it all clicked. The overall experience feels like if an early Ween were turned into a game, which is not a thought I would have likely ever have had without having playing this game, so in that sense, it is a clear success! Very well done on all counts.

langotriel 2024-10-10 12:18

Very interesting to see hand drawn paper cutouts animated in 3d. Don't think I have ever seen that in LD before, which is saying something considering how many games there have been over the years. A properly unique art style and vibe in this game!

alineo 2024-10-10 15:13

Ahah, I love the weird vibe of the game coupled with the paper animation, that fits well, congrats

wendel-scardua 2024-10-11 07:07

After a handful of attempt I almost gave up, kept losing to some question where both options were bad... Then I said, ok, one last time (bc it's almost 4am here, why am I still awake?), and finally got to survive the whole week (this seemed to be a way too realistic simulation of a work week now that I think about it)

I really liked the weird 3d paper people, and I bet it would be way better with that mp4 background going on...

Somehow I enjoyed the vibes of just answering nonsense questions with nonsense answers and effects (I don't know how random are the effects, but I never saw the chicken nugget question affecting my chicken nuggets lol).

co5monaut 2024-10-11 21:40

Thanks for the game! It’s probably a bit too conceptual for me, but I definitely chuckled a few times. Cool approach to the graphics and sound—I love that style, though maybe in smaller doses, haha.

loveschach 2024-10-11 23:22

I don't know what was going on, I don't know why I was here, I don't feel comfortable and I'm melting.

Maybe I lost, maybe I won who could know with something like this.

Also I love the cutout paper art.

belle 2024-10-12 10:29

I really feel like this game gets me. Love the cutout vibe, the animation game on the confident walk was strong. I also am fond of the fact that whenever I died it just threw other encounters at me, and it didn’t just have a set path.

Thank you for making something different that made me feel something.

Also I enjoyed the credits picture, good job team!

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres the vod of the stream (timestamped to your game)

https://www.youtube.com/live/yb0LWcAPWKs?t=1179

Also Wanted to ask if youre fine with me using gameplay from the game in this LDs [score chasers tournament](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/$405421/ludum-dare-score-chasers-qualification-begins) intermission video. (Would play in the breaks of the tournament on my stream). Last year for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuddhZScWxo

jerem-watts 2024-10-13 18:44

@ategon you are most welcome to use footage in that intermission video

senso 2024-10-14 08:54

I survived the week! Loved the cool management aspect with the questions, sometimes I wanted to answer differently, but then I wouldn't make it (I tried without looking at the numbers, haha). A fun idea could be adding an overview at the end that shows how 'good' or 'bad' you are as a person based on your answers.so all stats are emotions or behaviors like in a horoscope.

The dancing paper man is awesome! Screenshot 2024-10-14 at 10.38.48.png

pickens-inc 2024-10-15 22:55

That was a surreal experience! Not much of a game beyond the balancing of stats, but the visuals were lovely. I enjoyed the warm lighting to everything, and the ugly-cute paper sprites were very charming.
