What a nice weird game. Managed to complete everything on the first go except the gun because I couldn't pick up the rod. Points for great audio design.

*God bless you guys* — I laughed so hard! Thank you for making my day.

The mini-games are really funny. Though, if I nitpick a bit, some are super easy while others are really hard — I’d love a bit more balance. For example, in the one where you’re supposed to pick up trash with a stick, the stick mostly just scatters the trash instead of helping collect it (at least for me XD). But I think that’s because of the crazy controls… just don’t tell me my hands are the problem :D

Also, the art style is cool, and the voice acting too — great job!

We’d be happy if you check out and rate our game too ^-^

Well done. I love the art style of this game. Humor and voice acting is top notch.

The hands were the worst (especially the marbles), but the game was merciful since it gave me some tasks that were doable. I appreciate that.

The audio design is divine. The number of mechanics per square meter is astonishing! And how often I laughed! The stamps were my favorite part.

Excellent work!

harujam 2025-10-08 18:25

My favourite mini-game is the bug hunting bc that's my job in our house...great vibes all the way through!

wouterk12 2025-10-08 18:26

What an unique experience, awesome art!

prunus-padis 2025-10-08 18:30

What a weird bunch of minigames. I love the kinda cohesive art style but still all of the games felt like their distinct art style. Most of the games were pretty intuitive to play but grabbing the barrel scrubber was hard and i was slightly confused by the metal detector game first time. Punching felt really satisfying xd

nanaschi1984 2025-10-08 18:38

A very fun and original game! The visual style is truly unique! The voice acting is excellent! Well done!

profit 2025-10-08 20:36

nice. right on the money. Collect things.

surfa 2025-10-08 20:38

@6knowledge: Thanks for playing our strange little collection of games. I wanted the player to have to grab the end so it doesn't stick all the way the barrel but I think in hindsight I should have made it easier to grab.

@solvenoff: Yeah difficulty levels were all individually done and there was no real consistency. I originally made the stamp mini-game way too hard. So hopefully all the games were completable at least once.

@gamebuilder: If you played the web-build were you using Firefox by any chance. I found that this made the two 'arm' based games a lot harder as it seem to affect the mouse sensitivity.

@sylf: Thanks for playing our game. Glad you enjoyed it.

@harujam: Thanks for playing glad you enjoyed it.

@wouterk12: Thank for the kinda comment.

@prunus-padis: I think, especially with Jam games, it is very easy to overlook stuff that is not that obvious to most players as you have spent too much time developing and playing the games over and over. I think the two games you highlighted were probably the least explained in terms of gameplay.

@nanaschi1984: Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed our voice 'acting'.

Best fever dream I've ever had

@profit: Thanks for playing.

@monado: That's a nice collection of things :smile:

loiclegrosfrere 2025-10-08 20:53

I tried to do an exclusiv money collection, but it was too long to wait theses minigames :rofl: Good job, it's a long exercice to do multiple minigames !

patuwu 2025-10-09 07:48

This game is very fun! I enjoyed playing all those mini games, graphics are awesome, and whole game is very beautiful and unequally experience

eugenik 2025-10-09 10:23

Good job on the game! Very good art style!.

deadcode 2025-10-09 17:09

The intro dialogue threw me off a little haha! Pretty cool tho! I liked it!

boncebon 2025-10-09 17:10

Lots of mechanics, lots of effort, and everything is on point! Fun, with great graphics and nice physics. Clear and elegant! Cool! The voice acting makes me smile too!

gonulgaye 2025-10-09 17:11

It's a strange style, but I really liked it.

doa 2025-10-09 18:24

love the game! I still hear the licking sounds

stefaink 2025-10-09 21:33

Oh no my mark collection

Impeccable sound design and tons of fun. Reminds me of Dumb Ways To Die without the dying part. The amount of content is staggering. I can see every team member had a hand at the graphics, and I think that brought a lot of charm and positive chaos.

aldenwitt 2025-10-09 22:10

I don't know what kind of dystopian monstrosity of a game I just experienced but I did play the entire thing. Don't really know how to give feedback on that... maybe that means it was perfect? The constant conga drum in the background was a bit grating, but again, was that part of the art? Well done boys, you've made me question reality.

ukulelefury 2025-10-10 00:10

Lol, wow, you win! I love it! Every mini game made me laugh. The concepts, the art, the sounds were all perfect 🤌

jordan-neff 2025-10-10 01:57

🤣 What an absolutely wacky and wonderful entry. The silly voice lines easily doubled the enjoyment! I'm happy to report that I was able to collect 21 medals. I'm glad you didn't need to get a gold on every single game, because I definitely struggled with the marbles one, and the spiders seemed impossible for me past silver. I think my favorite was slapping the mustachioed man! He better give-a-me the mo-ney!

My only nitpick is that the music got a little repetetive after the first 10 or so mini-games. I did see the option for selecting a music track in the menu but I only saw the one track, so I'm not sure if there was a way to change it that I missed. Not a huge deal though, everything else was spectacular in a strange and amusing way.

schu 2025-10-10 07:39

Really well done! Love the Wario-ware style mini games, the art, and the humor. It's a total package :)

jonasolsson 2025-10-10 10:17

Great and fun game! I love the sounds :D Good job!

makoteam 2025-10-10 13:59

Mini games is always fun

gaverion 2025-10-11 00:53

That was certainly something! I am impressed so much was packed in and was still really fun. The gun minigame confused me the first 2 times I got it, other than that the games were pretty intuitive.

fupi 2025-10-11 01:16

Love me some microgames!! This artstyle was so unhinged, but every minigame meshed together really well. I love how the music is always slightly different between them, and each of them also has a slightly different way to show how much time is left! The difficulty felt just right, didn't struggle but also had to pay attention. Very funny and cohesive entry!

ursagames 2025-10-11 16:52

Very unexpected, but I couldn't stop until I collected 21 badges for my collection! Only failed a couple minigames along the way, very well balanced difficulty curve!

melissa-mechun 2025-10-11 20:20

I had a lot of fun playing, I really liked the art and the voice acting, I played until the end. I didn't expect to find a coffin with money, a tick, and a marble. My PC almost exploded at the end, the physics glitched xD

firellon 2025-10-12 14:58

Absolutely hilarious :laughing:

The voice acting is a cherry on the top of this ridiculous minigame cake. Tre bien!

vasea123 2025-10-12 15:10

amazing game

youpz 2025-10-13 12:16

Amazing!

surfa 2025-10-13 19:04

Want to say thanks to everyone that has played the game and left a comment we appreciate it very much.

@jordan-neff: Yes the music is a little repetitive. We ran out of time. The music choice options is a carry over from the last game we made for LD JAM (hairdivers). We unfortunately did not spent enough time on the backing music. The plan was to have a base track with individual music over the top for each of the games.

@aldenwitt: Yeah we wanted to have more backing tracks but ran out of time. Also we find the music creation the most difficult part of any game jam.

@gaverion: The gun barrel scrubbing is definitely the most non-intuitive part of the game. In hind-sight I wish I made it so you can grab any part of the handle not just the end.

@loiclegrosfrere @patuwu @eugenik @deadcode @boncebon @gonulgaye @doa @stefaink @alaah @ukulelefury @schu @jonasolsson @makoteam @fupi @ursagames @melissa-mechun @firellon @vasea123 @youpz : Thank you all so much for the positive comments. I will try my best to play all your entries and leave a comment and rating.
