Welcome to Bugsy's Barbershop, the only barbershop for insects housed inside a speaker at a concert.

Bugsy has to constantly deal with the vibrations of his shop which makes trimming beards especially difficult.. but at least the rent is cheap.

This is hilarious and fantastic. The music is awesome and perfectly fitting, the dialogue totally got me in both content and quality (because yes, I did indeed f--- up), and I just loved the whole vibe. Super entertaining.

really good game! i loved the shaving gameplay, and having the speaker bump you around really did make things difficult. only problem- on some of the stages (the last two i think) the customers had beards too long, i couldn't reach my mouse down enough to trim the bottom so i failed those stages. otherwise great game !

This is amazing and funny!

Awesome entry! Very original idea to work around the theme (Being an improvised barber is, in fact, *unstable*).

Had much playing it, the sounds fx and music give it a really cool vibes while playing. It's entertaining! Well done.

cool soundtrack, great idea. the tool pickup sometimes interfered with the shaving mechanic, but it was only a minor issue

This is just fantastic! I feel like I could spend hours trimming bug beards! :laughing:

I'm not gonna question why you saw unstable and thought of a bug barbershop :laughing: But I guess it was a great idea, honestly really fun

The music with the screen pulse effect from being inside the speaker is really cool. Probably the most unique entry I've seen, visually and mechanically. On some of the characters beards I couldn't shave the very bottom because my mouse would hit the bottom of the screen before and the hitbox of the razor etc. couldn't go low enough.
Overall, I really liked it, Music espcially was great!

Haha loved hearing you talk about this on stream. The scenario you made is so dumb and such a good take on the theme! Voice acting was a nice touch, and the audio in the game was great! Hilarious!

This is so weird and fun lol. Won't lie that rotating my tools and snipping or shaving away was just damn fun. Especially when trying to get clean cuts. Loved the art and the voice acting especially lol. Great stuff all around. I need to get more accurate with my cuts though. Only 1 bug was happy lol.

Haha this is a great game, was actually a bit sad when I completed it because I wanted to play more! Music and art are really cool and it felt like a unique experience. Nice one!

Hey, as discussed on discord, here's a video playthrough: https://seafile.wheybags.com/f/66eb637d0683445c9d0b/

Really nice game, plenty of juice in it. Music, graphics and the way they worked together was fantastic. The one issue I ran into was sometimes I couldn't get the parts of the beard that ran off the bottom of the screen. Apart from that, I think adding in some small bit of filler tying the scenarios together would go a long way towards making the game feel more "complete". Just some text screens about the activities of the day + a clock showing the time passing, then an end screen at closing time, or something along those lines.

Barbershops is necessary think. I agree with you, guys. Likewise, hair loss has always been a problem, even in young people. I am sure that the big problem was the poor hair care, the restriction in visiting special doctors who prescribe the right hair care. When restoring hair, girls usually go with short hair, and someone does not know what to do, I want to recommend this site https://lovehairstyles.com/sexy-hairstyles-with-bangs-hair-type/ where there are some of hairstyles with bangs that are truly beautiful, in addition to these hairstyles on the site you can find a lot of recommendations about hair. I think it could be helpful.
