How does your game fit the theme?
Bimmy, an 11-year-old chaos magnet is pushed to the edge when the bus driver causes him to drop his lunch. Armed with his trusty mayhem box, he is forced to bring his items of destruction “out of the box”. Once the box has been opened, a wave of annoyance has unleashed on the unsuspecting bus driver which includes burps, fart bombs, and more. Bimmy must race against the clock through 4 wild mini-games, just in time to make it to school without getting kicked out by the bus driver.

This is such a unique idea. I thought we were gona kill the bus driver. lol.
Maybe we should. lol
Dude, the intro is so fire. The voice acting is immaculate, I really enjoyed that. I did not understand how the safe zone worked since the bus driver seemed to caught me when i was still fully inside the seat. This game could be so much fun with a little more polish. Nice job!
Thanks for the feedback. The safe zone right now is very small. This was intended to make the game more challenging as timing your movement correctly when the driver begins looking at the mirror is vital for staying safe. But in the future we could enlarge the safe zone for easier playing
Thanks for playing our silly game! - Game Artist
The idea is cool and the graphic design looks quite nice but the game turned out too clunky, its hard to gauge the mechanics of everything because of the lack of visuals and the overall game layout
We will definitely work on this! In the future, we want to add more visuals and have the controls be easier to navigate for the player
Thanks for the feedback. We wanted to have a rather minimalistic UI to limit player distractions. Because the burping minigame requires A and D, using those for movement was not really an option so we chose the arrow keys instead. Perhaps it would be better to stick to a single key for burping the alphabet so A and D could be used for movement. In the future we could maybe also integrate a mini tutorial for the controls prior to starting the game.
Really enjoyed the silliness of the game! The art and audio really contributed to the overall tone as well.
Minor suggestion, I wonder if it would have been possible to have the option to have "A" and "D" for movement (then this would add another level of difficulty for the burping minigame), or maybe even the mouse buttons or tracking.
But once again, great game, and congratulations on completing the jam!
Yes! we wanted to add "A & D" for moving but we ran out of time :( Thanks for playing though!
Congratulations on the game. Very funny, hehe. I really liked the music and the art style of the characters.
Thank you! - Game Artist
This will be a roller coaster of a review. I swear to god I played this 40 times and I didn't complete a single mini game. 39 of the times I was trying to hit the bus driver with the plane. Couldn't time the look back. This may seem like a bad review but I can tell you it's my favorite game of the jam so far. I can't explain why I liked it so much, or why I played it so many times. Maybe because I love ska and fart noises? Maybe it's because I hate my dad and it brings back memories of the back of the bus. Whatever it is, BRAVO. All 5 stars from me.
Not gonna lie, I spit my water when I read " I hate my dad" Thanks for playing! In the future we plan to make it easier for the player to figure out. With only one month to make, a lot of kinks needed to be worked out. Hope you had fun though :D - Game Artist
Love the art and sound. Such a creative implementation, but pretty hard. got em with the airplane and the fart bomb but couldnt get the alphabet. Great work!
Thanks for playing :D - Artist
Fun Short!
I had a little bit of a challenge as it seemed like I couldn't get my G to belch out, but it was a fun little collection of mini games.
I will say that there was a lot of text to describe what I needed to do. In the future, I would think how to escalate/add to the challenge, like Wario-Ware games. Have me required to stand in the center and burp the A, B, C, then hide from the bus driver, then require me to do a fart bomb, etc.
It was just a little overwhelming for the player to be given so many options!
Also, and maybe I was a problem child, but you could always see the bus driver eyes in the mirror, so a visual indication that he's looking before turning his head, would give it a vibe of authenticity.
Great showing, I hope you had fun because I had fun playing it!
Fun art, music, sounds, and minigames, and great animation,!
Thanks for playing! yes, in the future we plan for it to be more intuitive for the player. We literally only had 1 day to game test :( Anyways, thanks for the feedback ;D
i could'nt figure out the control scheme, however this style of game 100% reminds me of the random flash games that youd find online, the introduction video was also pretty good, ill come back to this game with a friend later see if we can figure out the controls!
Yes, lot's of kinks need to be worked out in the future. :) In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the game with your friend
