Great idea of multiplayer design! Really makes the most of the unique game mechanic!

Love the audio work.

Well, turns out im not actuallly very funny :(

Very cool and innovative submission. I like how you incorporated actual jokes instead of gibbersih and included pauses for the punchline.

This is sooo good! I laughed out loud at the audience voices :joy: Very original and clever idea good job

Absolute perfection

I like the preview thing that shows before the actual indicator of when you press the words, as it gives you a sense of the pacing and whatnot. Was surprised to try again and get new jokes! Audio work was very amusing.

One suggestion: Use the physical keys so I can use the W and S positions without switching layouts using a non-QWERTY layout.

Haha great one! I like the graphics and audio combination a lot. Even though I don't do well with these types of games, had to keep trying, it's somewhat addictive I have to admit.

the core mechanic is very novel and surprisingly fun. you had me laughing at quite a few of those jokes too! great work, it's a really fun little game :)

I actually enjoyed it, cause I like rythm games, jokes were nice too! Thanks!

Original mechanic, and great humor: liked it! Congrats on that, and on voice making! :smile:

PS: Thanks again for streaming game rating!

Nice voice making. Fun idea. Although the difficulty may grow slowly.

uuuuuhhhhhhhh thats so lit

Most unique spin on the theme I've seen yet. It's rewarding to suck at this game, too damn funny to hear all the disses.

Excellent entry! Got a pretty good score I think:

mumble mumble mumble

The jokes are very funny.

Hey! I visted your stream for a little while! Just had a go at your entry and found it to be quite fast anfrom the get go but had a few more turns to leanr how to keep in time. I think its a good take on the theme and the gameplay suits it well!

This game's hard, but I love the concept. Now I found 2 people that dont just handle package deliveries :smile: It's well done, but would have been nice if the voicelines would be better understandable. Could get even more complex by adding more buttons, but it's nice.

interesting game. i would have started off slow to allow us to get used to the mechanic. when it first started for me it was so fast. and for some luck there was a really slow robot that felt good. could have started with that to get things going, then ramped up the speed.

Hilarious, original, I don't see anything not to like, using WS is a bit finnicky, really I'd like to be able to orient hands when playing a very back and forthy game like this. That's a nitpick though, great work!

So clever, HILARIOUS. Great use of the theme! (I suck at stand up)

Really solid and well done! Loved every moment :D

this is amazing 5/5 ^^

A unique take on the trendy rhythm based genre.

00111000001011110011000100110000

I think I did okay. xD lol
I'm glad you did hand drawn drawings. GGs!!!

Simple idea, and interesting interpretation of the theme, well executed. For me it was a little hard, I'm terrible at rythm games :D Nice job!

Great, unique idea. It's quite difficult with no beat to follow but I think it's probably possible to get good at it. Really solid entry.

Ha ha maybe I'm too tired, but this game literally made me laugh. Amazing idea, well executed. I liked the crowds reaction the most. (Seriosly?!)
Thanks for making this weird game, had fun! See you next time hopefully

I forgot to clip my final score (it wasn't great, I dont think) BUT can I say that I LOVE that this is a rhythm game with JOKES to follow instead of the generic music rhythm games 5/5

This is great. The sounds!

Very intersting idea, but my rythm is sooo bad(

This is such a cute concept! I suck so bad at rhythm games haha. I loved how when you mistimed beats the characters would just go 'hmm,' 'huh,' 'err,' 'uh...' Great job!

Oh my god, my game _did_ remind you of your entry. It's uncanny how similar these games are in concept and execution (and even in the cover image).

Yours is better tho. Well, at least it's easier to pick up and have fun in it. It's, like, an actual rhythm game, instead of a weirder, less conventional rhythm game.

So, uh, obviously, I really like the idea and execution, considering, _you know_.

Loved the theme execution and the game idea. I had a bit of trouble getting good scores lol

Haha the awkwardness of this game is that awesome, I love the idea, and the dad jokes. I wish there was a way to tell that the joke is about to start, it felt hard predicting that, but I had fun

Can i get a easy mode please? :D That was a very silly entry. I'm glad there are some games that don't focus on moving stuff from one point to another. Great job!

omfg this game is awesome!! --- so hard --- but awesome!! --- it works really well --- the ai voices of the characters + audience crack me up --- the graphics work, gets the message across --- oh --- and Im with an AZERTY keyboard, yeah --- just the fact I dont have to fuckin switch to QWERTY to play your game --> _THANK YOUU_ --- I swear haha --- all in all I think your game is an amazing lesson in efficiency --- surely you have some experience in both Game Design & making games in general _[heck you're in my follow list, so... ;-) hehe]_ and you didn't just strike gold 1st try --- yet here you are, LD53, made the funniest game I tested so far --- thanks for the smiles --- take care peace out bro :-D :sparkles:

.

_P.S.: I left the endscreen of the HTML build at the end of my game on, in another tab --- the little mutters of the people that go on like a show room with no show on --- mega-subtle but mega-on point man --- you rock my world_ :-D :sparkles:

Really funny idea for a rhythm game. Too bad that I had to concentrate on the rhythm and could not really follow the text :smile:

the visuals are nice, the stage design, atmosphere and background sounds are nice, the gameplay was a bit difficult and I'm not good at pressing just in time

Really felt like I was in a dive bar, trying to hurl jokes at a mumbling crowd. 5/5. better than sienfeld.

What a great idea for this theme! Well done!

I really liked the spin on the rhythm game genre and I felt like it was really fitting of the theme. I thought the artwork and synthetic voices really made the experience.

Loved this game. Great interpretation of the theme, the jokes were genuinely funny, and the art and sound (especially the voices) really helps sell the whole vibe. It's pretty tough but I like that you don't get a game over if you miss a bunch of beats (like in other rhythm games), you just don't get as high of a score.

Interesting interpretation of the theme. Simple but really fun gameplay. Enjoyed playing it.

Interesting idea! A bit hard to play since getting the rhythm of speech down isn't always intuitive :D Good work!

Well, I suck at your game, that's for sure :)

Very clever use of the theme! The concept is silly and feels like it shouldn't work, but it's executed so well that it ends up working great. The rhythm element is challenging but satisfying, and I like how you have a clear indicator of exactly when to press the button. I also really like the detail with the audience providing commentary on the jokes. It's pretty funny how the on-screen text will say something like "good try!" but then the audience will yell something like "you suck!"

@badcop Hey thanks for stopping by the stream last night. If you're interested here the VOD:

Really fun game the text to speech is superb.

Great game! There's a ton of little details in the stuttering and the crowd sfx and all that make this feel incredible. The timing was very hard to master with the lack of a rhythm, really interesting idea. I got like 340,000 on stream, I may be back to try for more.

i found it very difficult but i'm also so uncoordinated i fall out of my chair sometimes. This is a masterpiece for the compo constraints loved it good job!

I do like myself a receptive audience. The laughing track is definitely a highlight and "missing a beat" as a metaphor for botching jokes is a clever connection.

I played this on stream while deliriously exhausted, so I just gave it another go now. I'm still absolutely horrible at it :)
This is a creative use of the theme, and the overall idea is pretty solid.
Unfortunately the nature of the game kinda goes against my ability to parse the jokes themselves, but i guess they weren't really meant for the player.
I would've loved a lower difficulty option for those of us who are *cough*, slow.
All the voice lines are pretty funny!

Props for doing this in compo!

Hey! This was a really innovative idea, and a great take on the theme. I thought the execution was a little bit unforgiving on the timings, making my experience probably more frustrating than it needed to be, but I really appreciated the way that you used real jokes in there, which i got a kick out of.

The graphics were simple and got the job done, I felt like I understood pretty much how the game worked and what I needed to do from the get go, which is great. I thought the robotic voices were a little difficult to understand, though I could see what you were going for with the flubbed lines and stuttering.

Overall, this was a super solid entry, with potential to be a lot of fun with a bit more of a gentle approach to difficulty / level chart design.

All perfect. I lowkey wish there was a metronome but you can sightread everything with a few minutes of practice. I love the tts

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

Always a bit sad when I missed the punchline and got punished with 0 points.. but the punchline is so important in comedy it sadly made sense to design it that way! I think I kept pressing it twice, or pressing the following word to early which would cancel my previous one. I wonder how it'd play if you stopped it from turning a green into a red if you've already got it green? May be too easy and cheesable perhaps, just mentioning it as I kept doing it by mistake.

The jokes were funny, along with the generated voice :D I think you did well to split up words into chunks for the rhythm element of the game. Good job!!

Your game has an interesting concept, and I appreciated the unique take on the theme. However, I found it challenging to progress as the difficulty level was quite high from the very start. It would be great if you could incorporate some sort of progression system to help players ease into the gameplay. Overall, well done!

Very fun little game, goddamn hard, but also fun. Nailing the jokes felt fun, even if I only rarely managed it. Here's a link to the vod if you wanna rewatch;

Man this game is harder than it looks. I think I only got two flawless deliveries and I played it several times. Very well crafted though I have to admit. Here's my highscore:

*drops VOD then leaves without saying a word* https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1818241663

dang, people out here making it look easy! I gave it a few tries and only managed 260k xD
The art and voices really adds to the charm of the game, I like the way they bounce around and the audience quips!

Thanks for submitting your game on the stream! Loved the voices, struggled a bit with the timings!
Here’s the stream if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts (timestamps in the description to jump to your game!) youtube link

I'm delighted that it's so simple to play with just two buttons! The way it calculates your score each time makes it easy to understand how to improve. Moreover, the synergistic effect of the graphics and voice is wonderful :)
