Alright, time to see how many puns I can make. *cracks neck*

You commented on my game so I'm commenting back. You *scratch my back so I'll scratch yours*.

I have to *hand* it to you, you guys know how to make a quick game *dexterously*.

And oh boy, the difficulty did not leave me *empty-handed*, I had to *claw* my way to victory.

*Scratch that*, I actually couldn't win. Not with both *hands tied behind my back*.

This game was just so highly polished- *nail polished!*

I hope you're *itching to get back* into the next Ludum Dare jam because this game was quite the *handful.*

*Itch.io* must be really glad you guys chose them for uploading, am I right?

Ok, I'll get out now.

My body feels itchy for some reason. This was painful yet fun to play. For a person who has a hard time differentiating between left and right, This game is difficult. The art is really good and the music is really energetic. Now excuse me, I have ointment to buy.

The little nuances with the "animated borders" are a great touch! As an artist that is some major kudos. The game was fun. The art and music was fantastic! I wish there were scratching sounds to compliment the scratches. Good job!

Holy CRAP this game's concept is insane lol, you gotta tell me how you guys came up with this idea. Super clever, one of the most unique LD concepts I've ever seen, and something we all can relate to..................to some degree. Amazing juice, great UI, lots of polish all over. Game was very fun to play as well, I think the unforgiving timer was helpful in achieving that. Awesome job, you have one of my higher votes!

An excellent entry! Love the concept and the idea, some scratching sounds would have made it absolutely hilarious! Great LD entry, congrats!

Cool little game.
I found it a bit hard to understand the feedback on how effective the scratching was, but the game was pretty fun anyways.
So good job foks.
