You are Daisy Dazzle and all of your friends are having bad hair days. Their hair all is all frazzled, so you go out with your trusty blow dryer to find them and make their day fabulous!
The art in this game is just great. From the music, to the graphics, it's just amazing! Also a great concept and great tutorials btw. The controls were kind of glitchy, but overall a great game!
This was great, I loved the color palette! The hovering mechanic was really fun and the tutorial section was very helpful. I'd definitely play again if there was more content, great work!
Adorable!! I felt warm and fuzzy inside. As someone who uses a hair dryer on a regular basis, I appreciated the concept. Control teaching was simple, too, which was very nice (I had to use a clunky instructions on title screen to get the controls across).
Though I wonder how your girlfriends manage to survive stuck in that ice like that?
My head was filled with Zohan quotes while playing this. I really had to stretch to come up with any critique or complaint for this game. The only thing I came up with is the jump key felt just a touch unresponsive here and there. Excellent work!
I really like how the hover mechanic worked with the level design. And those ladies getting their hair done is so funny and adorable, hahahhahah. Good job!
Best entry that I played so far! I really like the tutorial and the platform. The only thing I dislike is the position of the gliding button. It would be a lot easier if the player could hold the jump button to glide.
I DAZZLED ALL THE FRAZZLED HEADS! Wasn't sure about this game until I frazzled my first head and melted my first snowman. Then the rest they say is history...
Absolutely loved the platforming mechanics. I could see you've pretty much thought of everything you could with a hairdryer. A fun game overall with nice art and audio.
Top notch entry, controls were solid and the glide made for some interesting obstacles. With the cute graphics and sweet music and sound, this is a really good little platformer. NICE
This was really fun. The graphics are cute, I love these grumpy snowmans. The part where you have to glide over the spikes in a tight corridor was pretty hard at first, but I got used to it.
Very fun! I had a little trouble finding the last one, but finally all my friends' hair are faaaaabulous. Cool that each friend is also a respawning point
Awesome. Loved the gameplay - solid and fluid. Tutorials were excellently embedded - I barely noticed I was learning from them. Music and sound effects all used excellently.
Fantastic entry, loved every second of it! From the cute concept to the interesting platforming mechanics, you totally nailed it. The only thing it could have used is a little more opposition in the form of enemies or challenging platforming near the endgame (tho its non linear, so theres not really an endgame). Great work!!
Oh, it's adorable! The unconventional weapon is so cute hehehe The graphics are gorgeous, the music is good and the gameplay is great. Very nice entry :))
Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thank you to you all for you're wonderful comments! I'm super happy that all of you enjoyed it and that there were only very minor issues with the game. Thank you so much!
Fun game! Nice colours and sprites, good music, cool multi-purpose weapon, funny take on the theme, I enjoyed it overall :)
As others have said, the controls seemed a little unresponsive at times, sometimes locking and forcing me to travel in a direction, other times making me miss a jump.
Woo! I'm a real frazzle dazzer! Nice concept, with some really nice ideas and self-awareness (jumps that can't be made are obvious, jumps that need to be made in a special way, and so no).
Wow, really fun game! Played through the whole thing. I liked the chilled out blippy music, the quirky setup, and I really liked the main mechanic! It felt good to float around with a hairdryer! And, it felt good to help out all of those bad-hair-day victims. :)
Real funny take on the theme, a simple but elegant mechanic can make for some quite fun platforming if you know your level design (you do!) Dig the track too, well done!
This game pretty much has all of the things I'm looking for when playing an LD game:
- Solid and consistent graphic style - Cohesive sound effects and music that fits the world - An inviting title screen with a game logo/title - Clear instructions without spelling everything out for you - Progressively more difficult challenges and - Interesting level design - Not too short and not too long (1 min games and 30+ min games don't really do it for me with LD) - Tight control response - Not too many controls to remember that it becomes a headache - Fits the theme - Clear level goals and life indicator in the UI - Playable in browser
I actually played through the game twice. The game is just fun, and solid in all areas. Excellent job!
That was incredible! I fell in love with this game the moment I dazzled my first head. You have no idea how happy this game made me. The aesthetic and audio is very solid and the controls felt great. Your instructions were not disruptive and allowed me to jump in without feeling like my hand was held. Your game is great!
I loved the level design of this game, you made a really solid entry here !
The only problem of this game how some of those "things" you are supposed to fix their hair are hidden in ice blocks. It was more fun finding them in "hard to reach places" instead of just blowing ice bricks.
Excellent entry, I love it! Fun and challenging platform game, nice graphics and catchy tune! It's impressive that you built all this (with a huge level) in 48h! Congrats! :)
Very competent, feels complete :) Everything works and is reasonably polished.
The concept works well, thought it feels like a theme-swap to replace goals/waypoints with guys with bad hair. The double jump also seems to just be there just because? I guess what I'm saying there's not a tight enough integration between the mechanics and the theme to my mind.
Well designed levels lead the player around clearly enough.
I would have like to know when my blowdryer was going to run out when I'm flying in the air.
I really enjoyed this! I love how you used the hair dryer to do 3 different things: fight enemy snowmen, melt ice-block obstacles, and the goal element of fixing all your friends' bad hair days. It was really satisfying to find all your friends, owing in part to the nice level design you did. Great stuff!
Cool cool cool game! Trying to perform precise double jumps and hovering maneuvers using just the arrow keys was difficult at times, but overall I had a lot of fun. ^_^
One of my favorite LD games so far. Great use of the theme, great tutorial, great music, and great hair! The controls were a little difficult at first and took some getting used to, but otherwise, great entry.
Good game.. high marks from me. It is funny how there is another game where you use air as a weapon and to hover.. X-11. Guess the idea is just something that's "in the air".
Cool game! Great idea with the hair dryer :-) Graphics are lo-res but well done, music is fitting for your game - nice work. Controls, especially jumping at edges of platforms, are a bit tricky and I got stuck one time into a wall after dying and couldn't continue. Fun jam entry!
Fun and interesting take on the theme! The level design was entertaining, and I loved exploring to find everyone. Graphics were cute, and the smooth camera was a nice touch. A larger version of this game would be great.

Thank your Frazzle Dazzle!

Simple idea really good executed.
Extra kudos for using HaxeFlixel :)
NICE
Looks, sounds, and feels good.
Double jumping was sometimes a bit dodgy, but other than that no issues.
Cool that each friend is also a respawning point

It bugged out for me. I hit the spikes and spawned inside the wall. I should have taken the screenshot, o well.

I think just the level design should be smaller and less empty.
