Very unkempt person becomes quite stylish! Neat little game, especially for a first game jam project, art and music felt nice, could visually tell what was going on, flapped just like a flappy bird might! 

Cool little game!

What a completely silly/ludicrous take on the genre

Absolutely loved the screams of agony at getting a haircut! The game had me restarting over and over until I could see the final transformation

Developer

Thanks you! It was fun to set up the sound effects. Glad you liked it.

Very cool twist on a Flappy girl type of game, not bad at all!

Ah, the comforting screams of grooming, just like real life! Love that 'loser' was voiced

Thank you!

I like how you implemented the slick aspect, actually wish it was a bit harder!

Developer

Thanka for the review. Yeah I think more obsticals might be good. Will work on it.

I love the take on the theme, really nice work. The scream when the scissors touched me gave me a jump scare the first time haha

Developer

Hahah. Thank you very much!

Great twist on flappy bird. I loved the art, and the LOSER callout was funny at the end! The title looks cool too.

Not the most original but the combs were a nice twist and the use of the theme is pretty unique.

Developer

Thank you!

Very well done for your first completed (kinda) jam game. I think in general, for a jam like this you want some sort of "ending" state for your game so that people know when they have seen all the work you did. The "loser" dialogue was very funny. Art style was great as well. Can't wait to see more games from you guys.

Developer

An ending state makes sense. Will add it next time around. Thank you for the review.
