You run a tie shop. Patrons want to get custom ties.

Can you cut a tie at the right size for each one of your patrons?

Use Right Arrow key to grow a tie. Use Left Arrow key to cut it. The tie will fall down, and hopefully reach a patron.

(Alternatively, you can use Up Arrow / Down Arrow or Z / X or D / F keys if you prefer)

Be careful to cut right-sized ties!

A perfect-sized tie matches the height of the patron’s shirt.

You'll get 10 points for such a perfectly fitting tie, but less points if the tie is too long or too short. Of course, Patrons varies greatly in size and shape!

Cut several perfect ties in a row to get bonus "combo" points.

N.B.: As with all Flash-based game, the fullscreen mode doesn't work when the game is embedded here on Ludum Dare. To play fullscreen, use the link below to play the game on my website!

Obviously, for this game, I choose to use "both themes", alongside with the bonus theme of "it’s a tie"! I hope you’ll like it! :)

I was originally planning on entering the compo, but I lacked time this weekend, so I submit it for the Jam. So everything was made from scratch for this compo, except the music.

As I lack any knowledge of how to compose music, I then choose to use a previously existing track coming from NewGrounds audio section (the sound effects were made by me using BFXR, but as I opted out of the audio category anyway, I decided to also use some SFX coming from my previous LD entries).

Made with Flash (AS3) / FlashDevelop in about 24h of work in total.

Enjoy!
