great game, controls took some getting used to but it was pretty smooth once you get the hang of it. also the art and audio were great. only complaint is that you should be able to hear the josh pit chanting while playing the game because it seems like it only happens when you stay in the main menu for a while, i almost missed it and its too funny for that to happen.

That was Zed-tacular bro!
Very funny and fun game. The graphics have a cool cardboard cutout style I dig. Stuff like the animated logo and victory screen really give polish that you don't always get to see in game jams.
Loved building up extreme speed with the I pose and the chaos that is the X pose.
I did get a bug though when I died just next to the hole. The body left behind (although a great touch!) blocked it.

The I pose helps to remove any bodies in the way. That was kinda a quick band-aid on that bug :x

Really fun game ! The sound design got me first, but the effort you put into the poses and the obstacles is what suck me in. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face :smile:

Strengths :
- 3 poses with intuitive effects for a fun gameplay loop
- Many subtleties to discover (bouncing on the walls, ...)
- Hilarious overall aesthetic

Possible improvements :
- Some obstacles come at you a bit fast despite the "!"

Great job !

Okay, this is neat! Took me a long time to really get what is happening. Kegs giving "bonus time" confused me. Since time is being tracked, I thought the keg would make the time go up or down, but I think it just lets you do the combos which gives you bonus points. Overall I had a good time, and I love the art style!

The controls were a bit hard to learn, but it was fun once i did. Audio and visuals are 10/10!

Great game! I loved the audio and graphics, and the gameplay was fun. Aiming at the hole at the bottom was a bit hard though (even when slowing down) and it was a bit frustrating to have the whole run be worth nothing if you miss it.

Very interesting. It made me feel like I was playing a video game version of that game where you have to contort yourself in order to fit through a shape or else you fall off. Getting into shape with Josh Pit!

Quirky game indeed! The audio is fitting to the theme and its fantabulous! Worthy for the history behind it! 😄
