This is probably what comes to mind when people say "a crazy Japanese TV show". :D I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I've definitely seen some shit. :D
It wasn't very intuitive what exactly I need to do to "win". I guess it's about balancing the efficiency and the drama so the audience likes it more?
I love the random chat scrolling by, the random adverts that pop up, the emojis, the banner at the top, the sounds, everything! So funny and weird. I think the gameplay itself could be more engaging and more clear - ie. am I supposed to be holding down 'W' the whole time? Am I supposed to be avoiding the food and collecting the fire? What does the bar in the bottom represent?
But I do love the aesthetic, it makes up for the gameplay questions and makes this game worth a play for me. Well done on the art too, it looked really good!
What - the - hell did I just play ahahah It's chaotic, yet you don't really need an explanation to play. I had fun, but I'm confused, and surprised, and I started again to look at the details I missed the first time (why is there an entire stadium full of people cheering why is there a kind of twitch chat with people commenting...)
The only thing I think is a bit unfair is it's hard to catch fire thingy, when they appear you don't move fast enough to get it so it felt like luck. Not a real issue, just a possible improvement!
Best endless-sandwich game I've played in a very long time. 5/5
OMG! Being a streamer while playing this super SILLY game is just perfect. Humor is a 5/5. Great job. Great entry. WTF was that!!! Keep it up.
The promotional blocks got me off guard :smile: in a good way, I wish the game had more twists like this; Was not sure how to collet :fire: on time so I decided just to stay on the same lane; Cool endless loop mesh trick too!
Here is my playtest:

This game is absolutely hilarious I love it! The chaos!!
There's a lot to love here! The Music on the menu screen, I really like, and the fly-like buzzy vocals are a nice touch. I did struggle to work out what I need to pay attention to, and what was just visual noise (I'm still not 100% sure after a few playthroughs). I love the moments where the adverts and commentary push aside the main view of the gameplay: it really leans into the source material the game is making reference to. Great jam game, thanks for sharing!
Pure chaos, I love it. Sometimes, I wasn't sure what I wanted to pay attention to the most: the chat, the commentary pushing the main screen aside, the ads? There's so much to see (and to listen to!)
The buzz sounds were hilarious and yes, this game really does feel like one of those shows haha
I don't know what the hell is going on in this game, but it's pure concentrated madness! It really feels like a real Japanese show, at least! And it looks just great :) The gameplay itself is very simple, I just madly pressed the spacebar and until the very end I wasn't sure that I was doing everything right haha. The reverse runner is something absolutely weird.
Some of the easiest fives for humor, graphics and audio :)
Score 71187 - This was pure chaos. That is exactly what a game show like this should be. It wasn't the most challenging game loop, with me being able to just spam spacebar and seemly staying okay. Overall great game!
this is gas!!! funny fly good models very nice
What a funny game!I love it.
Remembered you guys from the previous jam and wanted to see what you were up to for this one! :)
Really interesting concept and idea, we loved the chat and the adverts popping in. Somehow, we managed to beat it first time with a score of 68417.
With so little time to react, it was hard to have a strategy other than spamming jump and swerving around, maybe a bigger distance between the camera and the player could help.
great game. how did you come with this idea 😄
WTF Did I just witness??? x)
I have no idea what I just played but it was great and I had fun. The game is really hilarious - graphics, chat, voice acting, these pesky ads and the concept itself. Nice entry!
This was a nice short experience, but not much of a challenge. The idea is interesting but it kind of felt like I barely had to do anything to avoid getting eaten. After beating the game I did another playthrough to try and get eaten and it took a surprising amount of effort to lose.
That's not that big of a deal though as the rest of the games elements carried the experience. The art music and sound effects were all appropriately goofy and fun.
Well this was an inexplicable experience! Incredible atmosphere and extremely silly graphics, I love the aesthetic of it.
I think it was a little hard to tell where stuff was coming from but also if I just kept jumping I was generally successful. I think adding some other things that can happen to you as you're running away that you have to avoid might make it a little bit more 'dynamic.'
