Microgame collection! Good times.

I know it's the point of microgames, but I think a little hinting as to what you could do would help sometimes - I was stumped at first with THE FIRE / THE NATION. I think this is because with a mouse, it's less obvious than with d-pad and A.

I like the increasing tone of the SFX before every minigame. I think another good improvement might be to not random the same minigame twice in a row - it does get a little stale.

I got 42 points ;)

Really good touch with the sound steadily going higher and higher in pitch. Microgames are always super fun, but some of them were a little vague what to do. Keep IT alive was very funny to me. I really liked the pixel art too! Great submission!

I did enjoy playing, right in the theme :)
Thanks

Kuddos for the varying amounts of mechanics, artwork, and sounds you got done. Some of the levels were a little vague, and having different controls for different levels was a little confusing at first. I do like how the game speeds up over time.

Funny game. I like how everything gets more frantic after a while. And the different mechanics and styles mixed together make this a work of art.

I like the increasing pace, but I wish the mechanics of each minigame were more clear, I couldn't really beat the fire minigame at all!

Nice and polished little collection of minigames.
One thing I would note is that it's a little confusing how some games are played with the mouse, and some with the keyboard. It's not super obvious which is which at first.

I love wario ware and this is just great. I just wish there was more. MAKE MORE. Please! if you don't make more I'll make it myself

I love this game! Best one I've seen so far. It might help if you gave some hints as to what you do in each game, because some of them take a bit to figure out.

That was an interesting experience, I was very confused at how to play at first, but when I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun!

Really interesting idea, it reminds me a lot of Warioware games. I really like the themes you came up with for the mingames, my favourite one is keep nothing alive. It's a really creative spin on the keep ___ alive idea. I also really like the art. Great job

This work has a loveley conception getting multiple minigames, which every one could be the core of an entry of it's own. Therefore it shows different interpretations of the theme (Theme :dvd: :dvd: :dvd: :dvd: :dvd: ). The games it self works well, and collecting these meta-points tie them together in a easy elegant way.

My highscore: 39

The minigames were pretty funny and it was fun triyng to keep up with the increasing speeds. The ship one took me the longest to figure out since all other games were playable via mouse and this was the only one you needed the keyboard for - maybe a hint in the form of arrow keys could help there.

Cool concept and nice entry!
