Frankie's having a visit to the petting zoo! Look at all the cute animals! Frankie sometimes finds it difficult to control his own strength, but I'm sure he'll do fine!

Controls

Up / Down Arrows - Control Frankies Hand. That's it!

TIP: Try to make his hand GENTLY touch the animal by tapping with short bursts. Then go faster. ;D

Voiceover and Music are splendid!
I took me a while to figure out how it works, but that's a plus!

The overall idea is awesome, 5/5 for humor.

The gameplay is great with photos to boot with, but it makes me feel kinda guilty when I slapped those animals(even in game). Anyway, great graphics and audio! Looking forward for high score system.

Good job team!

Great on all counts, concept, art, music, voiceover, juice, even tech stuff (screenshot into photo was a great touch!)

Now you can add some variations to this and SHIP IT ALREADY :D

Fantastic stuff!

Great looking game. Fun use of the theme and the voiceovers were hilarious. Very polished minimalist experience.

Simple game, very well made and well it is rare to have music like this and such level of attention to details in a LD-game. Fantastic work. If there's one place where I feel like the game could be worked on some more, it would be the mechanics or weights on rage. I felt like I too early on just was heading to end of outing. And one miss was the end of it. As a player it made it so, it didn't feel like it was up to me if I got to pet more or less animals. So if rage penalty wasn't as steep and if some animals gave more rage reduction. Maybe also ramping up difficulty with time (and if there was such a thing, doing it slower). Then, of course, if there was more variation on the photos and comments would of course also be a plus. But that's a lot of work. And so, for a LD-game, I think your entry is close to perfect in all categories! Great work!

nailed it.

The voice over is so funny, hehe. The gameplay is quite simple, but its fun, nevertheless, which is the most important! Loved the graphics and the humor! Great job guys!

Fantastic concept, graphics, and gameplay, but particularly superb music and SFX. "Oh no Frankie not his face!" Ha ha ha ha! Nothing like a game that's as much fun to lose as it is to win!

Great, original stuff! The voice acting, storytelling and throwaway humour (those polaroids) are pitch perfect.

Hilarious! I think I finally got the right pace, but it's a quite challenging game. Not bad! :)
