Love how somber the ending is compared to the rest of the game.

Haha I love these types of games, fast paced and requires multiple failures to get it right, at one point I was able to run through multiple levels effortlessly which feels pretty rewarding, i think the art style is beautiful and the game does feel fun to play, nicely done indeed!

Very interesting, it made me laugh several times! I was a bit confused at the beginning but it became easier over time, nice job!

This was fun! Very wario-ware esque. Wish I started over at the same mini-game, rather than the beginning.

The game have a quick and tight experience, and a good sense of humor.
Sometimes it's harsh. For example, in the clean room level, I dont know the props should be put into different places and have to restart several times.

Humour is for sure around 4 - 5 stars. I have to say some levels pissed me off at beginning but after i discovered how to pass them it was rewarding and made me feel like pro.

I had to fail some levels before finishing them just to see the after effect of my failure. :D
- Starving because I did not clean my room? Like "You are not going to have a lunch till you clean your room young man?!" :D

Second level was somehow annoying on multiple runs. It was something with the hand being so slow, i dont know.

That game was soo frustrating but it kept me playing to keep trying to get further. Great job keeping with the theme. The game play was great as it felt natural to keep getting better with each run. great game!

Very funny game and nice visual art style. The minigames were a little bit unbalanced in that sometimes I didn't even understand what I did wrong, like the Clean your room one at 16, which was quite frustrating. Great submission, great job :thumbsup:

Très sympa! Un petit peu énervant de recommencer quand on a oublié de jeter un papier à la corbeille...mais c'est vraiment drôle. Bien joué à toute l'équipe ! =)

A really cool idea and I like how many mechanics you managed to fit in with the different mini games. Sometimes they could be very frustrating for the wrong reason though, mostly due to either being unbalanced (understandable for a jam) or not working as well as intended (like items not being dragged correctly). I liked the art style and humour, overall greta submission :smile:

This game really made me laugh, but level with face cleaning pissed me off. Fits theme very well. I din't like how art style quality varies in different levels though.

Very nice game! I love the games that are created from many minigames! My only issue is the holding item mechanics. It can sometimes get a little bit bugged.

Love the game! Had really much fun playing it! A view thoughts:

- The music sounds familliar, did you get it somewhere? Or does it just sound very familliar?
- The changes in styles could have been coordinated a bit more, it's like I'm playing diffent games all the time. The artist who did the child with the crayons in the nose and such deserves a pet on the back, really great drawing!
- The 'clean your room' part was a bit unforgiving. It took me like 10 times to realize there is a wad of paper on top of the closet ^^"
- I had a lot of fun playing this game, well done!
- It feels a lot like 'dumb ways to die', was that game your inspiration?

Very funny game! Quite a lot of content for such a small amount of time! Apart from the issues which are already mentioned above, I would certainly welcome the possibility of just restarting the minigame which I just failed instead of having to play all of them from the beginning over and over again. Apart from that, very good entry. If you spend some time polishing it after Ludum Dare, you would certainly end up with something special. :)
Also, noticed that if you let the timer on the death screen run out, everything just disappears and you have no way out :)

Lol, the humour was top notch :D Really cool game, reminded me of old browser games from the Troll series (each level had a different challenge and each was funny in some way). Great entry!

Nice use of the theme. Love the graphics and the concept. I got a bug at the level where he sends a text, couldn't replay the game. Overall, nice game!
