Well, I didn't want to make a Wario Ware-style collection of minigames, but that's what I did, with a little twist.

Story O' Dare tells the tale of a 48 hour game design contest and what designers experience throughout the process.

Play through 10 second minigames relating to each stage of the LD competition, from the initial "I'm In!" blog through to submitting your game.

==Spoilers==

To solve each puzzle (spoilers below):

1. Click on the keys to spell "I'm in" including spaces and punctuation.

2. Click on every cow.

3. Click on the desk area and the pizza box.

4. Click the refresh button a lot.

5. Drag the papers to the trash.

6. Click on the potatoes.

A joke entry I suppose?

Static 64author26 Aug 2013, 18:59

No, why would it be a joke?

I'm not sure this game works properly, or I am doing something wrong? Whenever I try to do something it tells me I missed the deadline, whether I let the time run out, or I click anywhere on the keyboard...

Great game but i think the first game is really to hard.

Static 64author27 Aug 2013, 02:29

@Mekuri, you have to type "I'm in" for it to work, as the sort of standard Ludum Dare entry blog title.

Animated27 Aug 2013, 02:33

Quite challenging, but not a bad idea.

ShadowFire380027 Aug 2013, 02:33

LOL, very fun and funny game! 4 stars from me!

Static 64author27 Aug 2013, 02:43

Thanks to everybody who's played and commented so far!

RHY375654727 Aug 2013, 10:16

Heh, I would say there's not enough programming minigames, but I don't think those would be doable in 10 seconds. :)

doonay2127 Aug 2013, 19:07

You should not put such clear instructions how to finish the game :P I like this one, it is special in its special way ;)

ZeppelinCaptain27 Aug 2013, 19:08

Very identifiable theme ;)

Kind of sad that it didn't accept my toilet photo...

Static 64author27 Aug 2013, 19:12

Thanks again to the further commenters.
@doonay21 - Do you mean the title screens or the ones in the description above?

nintendoeats27 Aug 2013, 19:34

In an earnest attempt to actually provide constructive feedback: I wish that it had sound, or at least music.

Typing into on-screen keyboards is hard.

But yes, that is kind of what LD is like.

kratorspore27 Aug 2013, 19:36

Keyboard didn't seem to work for me?

choqaae27 Aug 2013, 19:39

Very clever!

Static 64author27 Aug 2013, 19:39

@ nintendoeats - So do I. I wanted to add sound, but just didn't have the time.

Thanks for the feedback; I appreciate it.

BradleySmith27 Aug 2013, 22:26

Would never have figured out how to play this without the spoilers.

Alex Rose28 Aug 2013, 01:41

Dude, that was awesome. Not only did you get the Wario Ware theme in (which I love), but made it super relevant too. Loads of it is so true too, refreshing quickly to get the theme. I was franctically searching #LD48 on twitter :P .

I think you need to learn how to mash potatoes again though! That looks more like peeling to me! :P

It's great, the first puzzle is just too cryptic and trial and error based (without the solution spoilers)

hissssssssss2 Sep 2013, 14:34

This was a really cute package of games! I didn't find the first game too cryptic at all, but I did try typing on my real-life keyboard once or twice first. XD
