Really digging the cute art direction and theming. I enjoyed the dialogue/writing, but can't help but think that it started to hinder the flow after playing a while: I ended up just clicking through it as fast as possible just to get back to the action. Had a good time playing nonetheless, nice concept! I played the "uncensored" version and enjoyed the references, personally :)

How does your submission fit the jam's theme?
It's based off retro TV late night talk shows, such as Jay Leno and David Letterman. The game also features a TV aesthetic with UI inspired by closed captions.

Sure, I thought that joke would be fine since I took it from Vinny's Best of Grey Leno video: https://youtu.be/VzNDmsiiX1A?t=877
But if all I need to do is remove his last name I'll get on that. There shouldn't be anything else controversial, but here's a list of the possible jokes in the "Celebrity" category. There's only 4 and I think the rest should be fine as they're also from Vinny's videos, otherwise let me know if anything else needs to be changed.
Thank you! Can you also remove the last names from Bieber, Scorsese, and Vanilla Ice as well? One of the judges thinks it could be a problem and it does technically violate one of our rules. Ironic, isn't it? If Grey Leno himself entered this jam we'd ban him. Which, I'm sure 99% of chat would approve of lol. Thanks for understanding!
I enjoyed the humor of the game and the use of action commands for the combat system. Also, I guess the game would be more dynamic if the overall "health" of the enemies were reduced to repeat less of the same dialogue

John Action and the Action PlatoonI like the storytelling in the first part whenever I made a joke or observation. However, in the second part with Vinny every time I would try to make a joke, it would repeat the making videos dialogue.

Bora ProjectsI think you randomized the crosshair on the joke a bit poorly, it can be too slow sometimes. It got so slow that it took around 3-4 minutes to reach the center of the target. I also got Vinny as a guest as my first encounter and his Speen line kept reappearing in dialogue even after the encounter was over, while Leno was making jokes in front of a crowd. Then my second encounter was Vinny again and this time the "Today's guest: Vinny" screen got stuck on the screen.
Cute game overall though.
