The Idea is really cool and if this game had a bit of player feedback, the game would feel so stiff and the try and error gameplay would also benefit from that

I find this game to be very funny and the artstyle being spot on adds so much.
However that you have to read the text, while the timer is running out is a major problem, especially if you are dyslexic (Legastheniker), I think that is a easy fix, you just make a time stop until you press a button after having read the text and then you can interact with the buttons for the outfit and the timer is running. I think that would help a lot and it would help everyone, because even if you are not dyslexic if you can't read fast you are also at a disadvantage.
Besides that a minor problem would be that the music restarts everytime and doesn't start until you are a few seconds into the whole process of picking clothes.
The idea is very funny, liked it a lott maybe if more time and effort that could be an nice little funny game.
I like the very creative approach to the dress up genre and the artstyle fits it perfectly. I think the costume ideas are great and I like that you managed to bring humor into an apocalyptic setting.
I love the art style. Especially the sloth suit.
I didn't understand the first round at all, so a brief explanation would have been helpful.
Otherwise, the game is very simple but still has a lot of charm.
The game gives me 2010/14 Spiele-Affe nostalgia. The art style fits the theme perfectly and adds a nice charm. The difficulty was sadly nonexistent. There wasn't really a challenge. But overall, a great game.
Very unique and funny take on this types of games! love the cartoony artstyle. Main points to improve is make the timer a bit more noticeable, as I didnt notice it til round two, and maybe some more "situations" variety, as in the later rounds it feel a bit repetitive the types of "situations" you had to prepare for. Otherwise, its great!
Huge fan of the artwork, it straight up feels like a browser game from 2012! The only thing I have to say is that the player should receive some feedback on which "clothing" items actually helped them survive the round/ made them lose, just so the player gets a bit more insight. Other than that, really good job!
The game was very creative, but unfortunately I had no idea what I was doing at the beginning because I didn't read the text at the top. So I created a character that looked funny and pressed continue... then I died. After three attempts, I finally realized that you should pay attention to the text. So that's entirely my fault and my attention span. I really liked the artwork. I enjoyed the game, good job.
I think the outfits are so awesome and funny, I love it. And then there's always the suspense of whether you're right or not. You could have added a drum roll for the suspense xD
What a throwback. This game feels like I'm back in the old Newgrounds days! It would be good to have some feedback for the player on which of their selections helped with the outcome. If you find a way to give that feedback in a similar funny way and make it a bit indirect, so don't just give blatant numbers or "this is the best item for that occasion," it could add to the fun and help with player engagement. Pretty unique take on the theme, solid implementation, good job!
