You're a barber doing barbery things when a hipster runs into your shop and asks for an urgent trim.

Use the A and D keys to trim the hipster's beard. Rest to regenerate the powerup for extra speed.

Don't let the hipster turn into a hobo ;)

This is neat. A funny little game with some music. Good work!

Very good indeed! :D Having spent a lot of time in a hipster-heavy district, I endorse this hipster trim simulator. (alternatively, jealous because my beard is rubbish)

nice little game here :) you needed a extra pixel on the left side at bottom and i spent most my time trying to make both reach line at same time so there would be two big nipples ( try it and see what i mean ;)

such a simple mechanic and great fun to play :D

Haha, I lost and made half of his face a hobo. Fun to play!

I'd love to see a string of little jam games where you're the starring hipster's pizza guy, barista, tattoo artist, etc.

A nice beard-cutting simulator! Good use of both buttons. The UI could be a little clearer, but other than that, nice effort!

HA! This is the first game that has felt appropriate to use the "Humor" category with. I legitimately laughed (both at the face the guy makes as he becomes hobo and at the title-- before I even knew it was cleverly describing the mechanics)

Charming. very charming.

A decent entry, but not very fun. There's not much strategy to it but mashing the side that's longest, and the CRIT mechanic leaves a lot of your success chance up to RNG. Some progression would be nice, maybe upgrades you could buy or something.

I never thought I'd have an opportunity to roll a crit on a dude's beard. Thank you!

The music feels weirdly christmasy. Love that you can get criticals
would be nice to get more points if both sides are equal.

Initially didn't really understand the whole meter thing. It wasn't clear that it was growing. I think more increments instead of 4 discreet steps would have made it easier to understand.

Then when I understood it the game was just way too easy. Wait till the bar fills, bash, when cool down comes up, stop. Repeat.

Would have done with a bit more nuance :)

Nice! I was surprised I actually had to use strategy to beat the game...

Playing the web version I was unable to start the game regardless of how many times I hit A or D or the combination of both, even if the game window had focus.
