Hairball

This might be the shortest one I played yet. Silly take on the theme! Tried seeing how much hair I could fill the screen with but at 4 FPS it got a bit hard to keep it in view and growing.

I'm real confused with this one, the take on the theme was the performance getting worse on purpose? If so, this is the most unconventional way to fit in a theme

I was not the biggest fan of the art, and the performance was not optimal but I like the idea

Was too short to enjoy, unlike the hair.

I got a virus warning from windows defender, not sure if intentional but I can't play this game because of that sorry.

I've played this once, but when I wanted to try again a few hours later Windows Defender thought it was a virus. If this is a GameMaker: Studio game, maybe you can try the zip export option instead of the single exe one?
Anyway, I really liked how weird it is, and the worsening FPS is a very interesting way to use the theme (although it wouldn't work very well for a larger game I think). I liked how everything moved, like the text. I don't remember if I liked the music unfortunately, so I'll rate that if I get the game to work again.

If you had like a dozen tiny little experiences similar in weirdness to this, and then put them into one game, it would be very cool. A bunch of weird "gameplay vignettes".
But stand-alone, there just isn't much of interest.

I loved the music, it set the mood nicely. Good use of dialogue boxes as well. The low frame rate was a bit tricky - I think it is better to show the handicap some other way (for example, hair filling up the screen so fast you can no longer find your house).

I can't play the game because of the antivirus. =/

For some reason the way it ends so abruptly is just perfect. Like, that's pretty much perfect comedic timing.

Liked the concept, but I don't feel like I am working towards something. It was funny running around with a long trail of hair though.






Are you using your own tech to render the game?
If so, that's very impressive.
The performance got really poor after the hair grew a bit longer, but this might be intentional as it's fitting the theme?
