Haha, this is such a clever idea on the theme! Fanthastic execution also

Great game! Reminds me of that wii play minigame with the bubbles, but way more chaotic. Love the detail with the phone's animation in the game over screen lol

Thought this one was pretty funny. I don't have the mental dexterity to keep up with the finger movements :)

This is the kind of game I love finding when playing jam games! What a perfect take on the theme, and so funny! Excellent game. I had some stuttering with the hand when too close to the edges, but really enjoyed playing this. Amazing work!

wow! This is so clean!

It took me a few runs to get my first hand hole match, it was a little tough to remember all the fingers, and rotate in time. So maybe a little bit of a slow down right when you get close could have been good?

I liked the little help icons, was really nice to help me get it figured out.

The little jokes and music bits are great!

Great game, the best I have seen so far!

Man, a game of reaching into a purse did cross my mind while I was going through ideas!
I'm in fact truly glad someone did one and much better than whatever I could achieve myself.
Congratulations to the team!

I wonder if this is what it's like to be Mary Poppins.

Really fun game, cool style, great audio, clever gameplay.

Now I'm a little bit concerned about the purse defense systems these days.

Keep making stuff like this it rules!

I went over 500 meters in that bag, and it still took less time than finding my keys irl.

Very nice! Seems we had a similar idea for the theme but very different approach. I like the challenging gameplay and all the small details you put into the environment.

This was a fantastic entry! Perfectly executed. I don't have any complaints, I think you've nailed it with this one. The visuals and sounds were just perfect. The difficulty was tuned just right, with plenty of forgiveness for mistakes. And what a great take on the theme haha. My only issue was that position was hard to determine without looking at the shadow, and that made the sections where you had to move the hand in between slides quite difficult to get perfectly. Thanks for the entry!

I laughed out loud when the lasers came into focus, this game is so absurd hahah LOVE IT! 10/10 indeed
It is very hard though, but I think that is the appeal of it all. The music is very well done and the sound that plays is always in sync with the music it seems. Did you program some delay in there to make it fit the music? Or is it just me?
No idea if the phone will ever be reached, I did not come that far.

I won't be surprised if this game wins LD57

It is an absolutely awesome entry! Fantastic!

It reminded me old flash games, but I loved how you broadened first person runner with signs mechanic and even made some fun audio lines for well-known signs

Very good idea, very good performance. Deserves praising!

This bag has some of the most advanced security systems I have seen so far, impressive!

Great entry! Fun to play, nice graphics and the little "encouragement" bubbles from the wife are very distracting, great job!
