Very silly! I like that failure itself is the punishment. Makes you want to retry the game to get it right.

dubiousduck 2025-04-08 07:09

Very well polished game! Love the visuals, the sounds, and the playstyle, very simple yet fun to play with. Gave me quite a few laughs when playing through. Wish there's a way to quickly replay a specific level though. Overall a really good job!

Love the concept. I was frustrated at first because I could not get the right speed lol, but that is what got me invested. Good job!

basekeet 2025-04-08 07:19

The game turned out pretty fun! I never quite figured out if there was a "right" way to do things — it always felt either too weak or too strong. But overall, really cool!

badpinkchicken 2025-04-08 11:48

Really cool concept! Love the graphics and the sound design! Lots a replayability! Would love a quick restart and a timer to speedrun it !

frag-machine 2025-04-08 12:14

@dubiousduck @badpinkchicken great suggestions!

sofia-miglan 2025-04-08 12:42

The game looks unusual... This is its uniqueness. It was uncomfortable at some points, but that's the whole point of the game, so okay. It's a pity that you won't be able to complete the level again immediately if you fail. The game is cool, funny, sometimes scary, it turned out cool)

vladimir-ins 2025-04-08 12:46

Very fun and addictive gameplay!

ammonit 2025-04-08 12:49

aaaaaaaaaaaa! so cool!

thesmellofoxygen 2025-04-08 12:52

Very funny. I appreciate failing forward and then cycling the levels again. I thought I was going to be frustrated after failing to push the button at the beginning for a minute. Most of the art is pretty good and the sound design was exactly appropriate, down to the different failure notes so it didn't get repetitive when... someone... fails repeatedly. I got the knack eventually.

verttixpertti 2025-04-08 12:52

First game I tried and already amazing. So satisfying

roxxorxx 2025-04-08 13:18

What an insane game. Everything is cool. And there is a ton of surprise. How ? Damn

toupaks 2025-04-08 13:36

@sofia-miglan this was intended as a weird and funny outside the box experiment so your feedback is actually .. Bobalicious :-)

nanamaki 2025-04-08 14:15

Really hilarious and well polished Animations! I love this! Once the theme revealed I knew there would be some interpretation like this lol.

odronin 2025-04-08 14:16

Fun and simple game. More practice and I will definitely succeed! :)

jack-turpitt 2025-04-08 14:19

God what a perfect jam gam!! The art is deliciously gnarly, warioware-like pace of the levels keeps you locked in the whole way through, I laughed out loud at most of the levels, both failing and succeeding is fun, the sound effects are juicy. No notes! Great entry, thank you for making it :))

deadcode 2025-04-08 14:31

Actually amazing game! Reminds me of the Dumb ways to die games or other mobile games like "Flip bacon" and such. And love all the "Too deep" animations and replayed just to see them all. Great stuff!

tenzz 2025-04-08 14:38

the finger made me question my life choices

frag-machine 2025-04-08 14:39

Awww, tysm everyone for your kind words

sariiger 2025-04-08 14:54

It's a really fun concept, and the execution was on point too. I had to replay it a few times to try to check multiple ways to fail something and also get them right. Great job!

pusheeneiro 2025-04-08 15:34

That was a journey XD

hernandack 2025-04-08 16:08

lol lol lol this is the game that I need to play before went to bed for real, un-stressing feeling, nice one

senkoso 2025-04-08 16:14

wow, I really like the transitions after each lvl, and the lvl themselves look different but display the same theme!! Guys, that's great. 💗

fikusm9 2025-04-08 16:14

I had to purposely go too deep every time just to see what will happen. Really cool graohics, I was completely blown away with the scene transitions! Super clever!

nyxkn 2025-04-08 16:36

Super cool idea! And really well executed. Amount of force feels pretty accurate! And some of the... situations... really make you care for the result and try hard to get it right :D Art was well made and a little unsettling. Final scene was just mad, 10/10.

velis69 2025-04-08 16:42

lost on purpose to see how the game reacts! Very fun! Check our game pls about MInDDive!

cure 2025-04-08 18:06

This was impressively well polished. I hope someday to make a game that feels this complete during a jam. The balance of satisfying levels with uncomfortable ones was really well done, creating a good ebb and flow that kept my interest all the way through two runs. Art and sound were great, controls were a bit awkward but that seems to have been the point. Five stars across the board!

pigeon-dp 2025-04-08 18:13

Wow... just wow! Perfect game.

chloew 2025-04-08 19:21

That was great! Enjoyed the losing animations. My kebab went to space XD The art style has a grossness to it that adds to the comedy. Great experience overall.

brian-russell 2025-04-08 19:21

pretty awesome. The first part took a little to figure out then it got awesome! MY KEBAB WENT INTO SPACE!

hurp 2025-04-08 19:23

Funny as hell! Had a good laugh while testing the variations of each scenario. Good job :D

rucksack 2025-04-08 19:25

What a game... I actually laughed out loud. Very surreal and fun experience. I think the lack of music even enhances the experience.

sylf 2025-04-08 19:31

This is soooo fun, but I failed all attempts with a touchpad :D

ficho 2025-04-08 20:17

Surreal, fun and replayable experience. Surprised to see the next level each time. Great work!

5huno-3 2025-04-09 11:33

Really fun game! Had to play it mulitple times and used my drawing tablet to be more precice. Fun and interesting approach to the theme. Great submission!

dywanix 2025-04-09 15:02

really cool and interesting idea!

shadow-veil-society 2025-04-09 16:16

Such a fun idea and original take on the theme! The art direction fits the tone perfectly too! Great work y'all!

lllarso 2025-04-09 17:07

One of my favorite games so far! What a blast! ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter (4).gif

I played it with my Drawing Pad and it worked fine. :D I started multiple runs, because I wanted to discover the different outcomes of the situations. I really like the humor, even the gross stuff. The sound effects are nice and the game feels very polished with nice transitions between the levels. It's also an interesting approach of the Ludum Dare theme. Congrats to this awesome game! :)

arluci 2025-04-10 15:54

The funniest game of this jam I played so far! Good Job! REally made me giggle.

sheepolution 2025-04-11 22:04

Very funny game! There's something very funny about the scream icon when you fail a level. Played it twice to see what happens when I fail at something. Great job!

kauesilva 2025-04-13 02:21

Man I Failed almost all attempts ( yeah first time ), Im the master of failing in your game, nice entry

sarafilipa 2025-04-13 15:02

Holy shit, this is my favorite game of LD57 so far. It's insanely funny and makes you want to keep trying just to see more of the art. Reminds me of Wario Ware mini games, which I love. It's a brilliant interpretation of the theme. I will admit that some mini-game scenarios made me physically cringe, so well done. Easy 5 stars for me.

mr-mesmer 2025-04-13 21:42

I have fun looking this film 5/5 :v:

leorean 2025-04-17 16:55

Wow, this is an amazing game!! Reminds me of Wario Ware minigames, such fun :joy:

flying-dog-fish 2025-04-18 20:47

Fun game. It's even more fun when you fail :D There's a lot different thing to stick stuff into.

autotrophian 2025-04-19 23:49

the artstyle is crude yet charming I love it , its super hard to get a good balance and youve done it

missfire 2025-04-24 15:31

I haven’t laughed this hard at any other jam game. We played together and finished it three times, trying to see every outcome.

It’s simply fantastic: creative, hilariously funny, with an inventive mechanic, lovely graphics, and even a tiny horror twist at the end.

So good. Thank you so much!

sarah 2025-04-24 21:26

This is great, I love the art style even though it's a bit in your face at times. The different mini games are great, very old school feeling. I love that each one is different, so I could be terrible at each of them! Super polished though, well done!
