I really liked the style and the visuals. The characters dancing during the haircuts was a nice touch. I did really struggle with figuring out the controls and found myself just mashing left and right click to cut hair.

There are a few hiccups here and there that are making the game a bit unintuitive but when smoothed out it results in quite an enjoyable little game. Well done, hope you can fix some of these in a future build :)

Fun game. Took me a second to figure out the waxing hair. Some clearer instructions would go a long way. I like the story and visuals a lot. 

Developer

Thanks for playing! Will try and make the instructions clearer on a later version.

I had a lot of fun playing this game, and I like the style and visuals. The characters look like the tweenies and its a genius idea to turn your cursor into a bee during the dialogue

Thanks glad you liked it! And thanks for appreciating the bee.. that was a kind of 2 in the morning 'just one more thing' adjustment, - glad I did it! Thanks again

Super original idea! I found needing to wax the hair into place before cutting a little unintuitive, and sometimes it seemed to not want to cut even after waxing, but when it worked it was super satisfying.

Developer

Yeah i did consider making hair always cuttable, but I just wanted to replicate what barbers do when they hold hair up straight before cutting it, - but I think in a later version I might indeed scrap it. Thanks for playing!

For those wondering, you have to press Spacebar for the game to start. I thought the game was frozen at first. Was a bit of a struggle to figure out some of the mechanics, but I like the originality. The characters remind me of Dont Hug Me I'm Scared
