I wasn't prepared for this. Probably the best I've played in this Jam so far - it's everything I wanted my game to be. Original, experimental, ironic, and the story actually sends a message. Congratulations and keep doing incredible games like this. :)

Although I had my doubts because of the cover art, well, this is amazing! I couldn't stop playing it. Very entertaining, I loved it. I'll definitely give it a perfect 5/5 rating. xD

I really loved the Wario-esque pacing! The unique world-building and flavor text were right up my alley. Rooting for you! (ツ)ノ

Hilarious. OSU with low graphics, and it sometimes tries to trick you into doing something you're not supposed to do. Was really short, but I enjoyed it very much

This is actually like a flawless game jam submission, on theme, crazy wacky gameplay, made me laugh, even had a stupid opening cinematic that made me chuckle - and importantly - the game was complete!

I really enjoyed this game. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I love games that are satires of a real life. It reminds me of that other game called 'Another Adventure'. I appreciate the intensity, embrace the chaos, and relish the madness of being given tasks that are practically impossible. All of that culminates in a sense of frustration that transforms the game into a medium for conveying a narrative. It conveys the emotions of the character in this narrative through frustrating gameplay, and I find it remarkable. It's simply fantastic. Good stuff!
