Great idea! I wasn't sure what was gonna happen in the beginning and it delivered. Funny game with a unique twist. Awesome!

This might be the funniest game jam game I've ever played. That intro genuinely put a smile on my face. The boss character was really funny. The jokes in that intro definitely *delivered*...

Anyways I loved this! And it's great too because it's short enough that it doesn't overstay it's welcome. Fantastic job

A funny little idea using the quicktime event for a thing that requires timing. I also liked that you have a multitude of jokes so on the second playthrough you don't get the same jokes again. Well done!

So fun to play! Loved how you made the characters "speak" and their personalities aswell (bauwss :sunglasses:)

Also nice interpretation of the theme, we had the same idea :smile:
Here's our game Punchline! We would love you to play it and give a feedback! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/punchline

I love the... "dubbing" I guess 😂. Serously, your game made me smile. A well executed idea. I think I'm gonna borrow you a few jokes though.

Successful audio/visual dynamic...when good timing was hit it felt natural, followed by the audience approval...very satisfying. A novel simulacra of an implied experience. Well played!

Short, sweet, and definitely well delivered XD I loved the visual gag in the intro and sounds. Nice work! (And fun jokes!)

The presentation here is top notch! The crowd clapping unenthusiastically really git me :laughing:

The "voice acting" added a lot to the charm!
