Cool game!

I don't want to ruin it for the next player.

Really needs an epileptic warning at the start. Nicely made game tho!

Really awesome work! Feels really polished. Absolutely nailed the creepy factor.

The second genre is usually not something I'm really into but this is very well executed. Love the questions and the very creative ways you mix them up as it goes. Also some very... effective... design choices... later on. Don't want to spoil it for anybody 😉

Interesting; the computer interaction was a bit confusing(couldn't close recycle bin?), and the jumpscares didn't really work for me, but the quizzing was cool. Definitely an interesting combination.
MathijsVissers24 Apr 2018, 08:06
Awesome job, using headphones really helped set the atmosphere.

@Team-luminous Yeah the cursor on the web player is bigger than it should be, we will work on that soon (that must be why you couldn't close the bin :p) Thanks for playing!

This was really something else... At one point I literally jumped in my seat. Wow, you got me there. Honestly, I didn't expect to turn it this way. Probably the most "pro" game I've played so far :)

Didn't see that coming...haha really fun experience with amazing graphics and audio work!! :D

Nice game :smile: You did the bugs effect pretty good, we can feel some of your inspirations, but used well, nice game, nice combination !

A cute little game. Well-executed, but earrape is horrible, I hate when games do that, it's not even remotely scary. :( Also, an ability to type answers can ruin the immersion for some people since they will type some joke answers.

So much mood :) never had so much emotions playing a quiz game, you guys have nailed it :)

@time-loop I have to admit the final sound is too loud, we will reduce it. Thanks for playing !

And thanks to everyone for the nice comments

This game is so cuuute ! Nice little music to put you in the mood and genuinely interesting quizz. Would piss in my pants again.

Thx for all that good comments! ;p
sugarbyte24 Apr 2018, 11:32
That's impressive.
Desdemone24 Apr 2018, 11:40
Well, I didn't see that coming. This is so impressive ! You managed to really nail it on graphics and mood in so little time. Congrats :D

Fantastic! I loved the transition. However, the clown at the end was a little blunt. It would be scarier if the messages just played on the screen.

Don't wanna spoil it for those who will be after me. So like, more generic and abstract review. Well crafted, nice use of "playing with player") Undertale vibes gets me, don't know why, and that's great)

I think I will comeback to you after more people will play it to write a more detailed one. Anyway, GJ!
Saering
Saering24 Apr 2018, 18:19
@sengi I'm glad our game made you think of Undertale :) DDLC was also one of our references.
Thanks for playing and for your review, I'll wait for the more detailed one ;)

I correctly predicted the second genre by the gif and the fact that it had the word "happy" in the title. Pretty cool game, though. There isn't any real "quiz" mechanic with right or wrong answers, but that's okay. It would probably be ruined if you could get some of them wrong. Also, ring the doorbell, don't just come into my room like this next time.

I went in expecting the game to be unsettling, but it still managed to be unsettling. I really like some of the ways you set the atmosphere with this one.

That was a bit too harsh on the audio side like I really wanted to just close out the game. Not because it was unsettling because it was just unpleasant and hurt. But nice job creating a mood.

I expected a jump scare. Pleasent surprise it was a mild one...

This was sooo cool. Really impressed. It disturbed me quite a bit. Won't say more to avoid spoiling anyone, but at the end, *exactly* at the same moment the end is happening I got a text message which contributed to the unsettlement. Nice job!
Fonseca25 Apr 2018, 20:57
I love it. So creative and grisly.

Excellently done! My only complaint is the harsh sounds towards the end, as someone mentioned before.

Fun game, so happy and nice... 😟

Good work, great audio and effects. Silly questions...
monika27 Apr 2018, 07:38
One thing I liked that I haven't seen mentioned was that when it started to go just a tiny bit wonky, I rationally knew it was part of the game, but I also viscerally felt like I hadn't slept well enough in a few nights and my insomnia and ongoing sleep deficit were catching up with me. That's how well you nailed the mood.

this quiz was too easy.
it honestly could use more ponies. and flowers.
but other than the lack of ponies and flowers i think this was a rather enjoyable experience.
ponies and flowers and ponies and flowers and ponies and flowers and ponies and flowers and fun, so much fun. all the fun. the funnest of all the funs! isn't that right mr. snoogle buns?! i think you need more tea! I rate this a 5 out of flowers.

Weareaniceteam27 Apr 2018, 14:16
OMG! Liked it so much. I love horror games and i don´t even knew that this game that seems to be happy (has the title said), whas going to become such scary and crazy. Good job!!
Bib27 Apr 2018, 15:20
It's not very frigthening x) Maybe for someone else ?
But I love the concept.

Uuuuuu the sounds of scratching as if at a door lock are what really got me. O_O I'm very sensitive to sounds and boy did this game freak me out! The ending wasn't as scary as the rest, I felt, but whew! Well executed with excellent sound design, mood and graphics.
No one has ever asked me those sorts of questions before and geez were they upsetting to contemplate.

Quizz + horror. Quizz + horror! QUIZZ. PLUS. HORROR.
Nothing more to say.

But : well done! :scream:
