This was a very silly but super fun game. Loved the word play on the title! Although dumb question but why the flies? Just wondering lore-wise how that's related to aging or mostly, how'd you come up with the idea? haha

Letter DispatchI'm gonna be honest, the flies don't really have any lore significance, at least they weren't created with the lore in mind (I guess they could be seen as foreshadowing that the man is going to die soon). Mostly, I just wanted a mini-game that could break up the somewhat basic mechanic of "wiggle the man's body parts," and flies that moved around the screen was the best idea I could think of. Thanks for playing, tho! Glad you enjoyed it
as a man about to leave his 20's the final level really made me think about my life and what kind of legacy I want to leave behind.
I mean, what is there to say? This game rules and it's the best 3 minutes I've spent gaming during the jam. Super fun, super engaging, and really wacky.
I recorded my gameplay and if you wanna see me contemplate the meaning of life while tugging on a mans face please reach out on discord!

One-Man Whutzhit FactoryAs soon as I noticed it was wario ware style, you had me sold lol good stuff. I laughed hard that it went from 20's to death. As a person in my 30's it made me feel old haha

Dungeon DescentShort but incredibly fun and well-presented. I liked how basically every action felt like it had weight to it. (Why were there so many flies, though?)
