Liked:

  • Character voice noises
  • Dialogue is well written
  • Soulful intro screen with the contract

Would improve:

  • Needs text skip/speedup, there's a lot of text
  • You can easily hardlock the game by moving during dialogue, forcing you to reset the whole game

Pretty much agree with everything you said. I’m currently working on fixes for the things you highlighted, so thank you for your feedback!

I claim the clown throne 😂👌

That was a really fun interactive game, had a blast playing it! This is one of the most creative entries I've seen ✨

Developer

Yessss! I’m glad someone managed to make it to the big top 😭

Thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate it.

ow, I lost in the last mini game and it restarted :(

Still it made me laugh and giggle. You got me with the start screen, and I can see the love in the details.

The only thing that happened to me was in the first mini-game. It says that I need 8 point and at the end it only throw 7 stamps. I thought that I miss one, then retry again. And this time I got 14 so maybe it has a little bug there.

It is pretty well made I think it just need some QL and its pretty good. Good job!

Developer

I need to fix that closet minigame. It didn’t happen to me during testing, but several people reported not enough stamps spawning. I’ll fix that.  Thanks for playing and for the helpful feedback!

It's actually a fairly all-rounded game, the minigames are good, audio is good, graphics are decent and it's all well polished. Though it actually takes quite a bit of time until you actually get to the gameplay which I don't hate but some might really get bored cause of it. It's actually a really good game. Please do add mobile controls in the future, I'll like to play too. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for taking the time to rate and leave the kind feedback! I do agree with you that the game doesn’t get to the fun part quickly enough. I wanted to have micro games that were between the minigames but I just dramatically overscoped the game and had to cut a lot of content. I will definitely make improvements and add mobile controls once the jam is over. :)

chat we cooked or just french fries? 


Oh okay joke aside.. I do have fun playing this Game.. Art pretty good.. Game play is pretty fun when come to minigame.. You talking to characters is pretty cool in my opinion.. And there was moments where I find it pretty funny.. Not going to lied.. My favorite is blue clown say good luck.. After he saw awful pictures I made for this red clown 

However.. There some problems where it really kinda ruin the game ..at least to me 

First problem is.. The Text 

You can't press e to move text fast.. You have to wait maybe like 5 seconds or more to move to next one text to finish the game.. Which wasn't problem at first.. Since I was reading these.. And take my time.. That Until I suddenly get stuck at the game and wasn't able to move anymore after cutscene is over.. And I had to restart 

Here the bug:


And that didn't happened just once.. It happened twice.. So it was really annoying.. To read one by one again.. Just because this bug.. I not 100% sure why that happened.. I guess is have to do where if player press paper to sing something more once.. The game get confused.. That might why?.. But I don't know if that really it.. Or there more than that.. Regardless.. Please fix these bug.. And make text move faster so won't be annoyed to do all text slowly just get to fun part of this games 

2 problem.. There is 1 minigame is completely not fair 

There 1 minigames.. Where you have to make your clown show.. To keep going forward the game.. And if you probably let's say.. Failed few times because is your first time playing this minigame.. And you want try again.. Well.. The game basically said.. Too bad!!!. Restarted player back to start.. When I realized that.. I just look at game.. And be like.. Why? 


Is funny maybe for few minutes.. Before you realize that you have to read slowly.. And do all minigame again!?... Just do this stupid minigame again you failed at.. Sorry if I sound harsh.. Is just.. This part frustrating me and made me rage out of this games

But besides these kinda big problems.. You game can be pretty fun.. Is just.. You need to fix problem to avoid player like me feel game unfair and just annoyed to do all over again if you planning to update this games.. I hope this feedback helps you

( Also I really appreciate it if you can play and Rated.. And also Feedback to my game call mystery box jumper demo.. It helps not only give my game attention.. But also improve my game if I going to update it.. Thanks for reading ) 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and for the detailed feedback! I'm really sorry about the bugs. I will definitely be fixing those, as they have been noted by several players and can be frustrating. I also understand why you feel the game is unfair. Part of that was a design decision on my end, but it ended up being the wrong decision. I'll be fixing that too. Anyway, thanks again for playing!

Submitted

I like the story and the gameplay a lot tbf , but i got stuck in place  after i took the picture , but overall awesome game 

Developer

oh no, I’m sorry about that! Can you tell me how you got stuck? Like, would it not let you move anymore, or did the game freeze or something? I’ll try to fix that after the jam. Thank you for taking the time to play anyway. 

Submitted

the character is stuck in place but i can like rotate left and right but no movement just like rotation or flipping when i move left and right, And thanks for asking

Developer

Ah, I understand now. That must mean I didn’t set a variable correctly. Thank you for telling me. I think I can fix it now. I appreciate your feedback and response!

Great game, enjoyed playing as a clown.

Submitted

When I reached the boss assistant, I couldn’t complete the challenges and lost. When I tried again, the game restarted from the beginning. Was that intentional, or was I supposed to have another chance? Aside from the frustration of not being able to finish it, I found the game really funny!

Developer

I’ll be really honest, it was a design choice, and I am kind of a jerk for it lol. It’s supposed to reference back to the player consent form at the beginning where it says we can reset your progress for anything “technically speaking, your fault.” It sounded like a good idea to me at 5:30 am when I submitted this, but yeah, in practice it makes zero sense other than just frustrating. It’s one of the first things I’ll fix when the jam is over. I’m sorry about that frustration. Thank you for playing though, and for the kind words!

Submitted

😂 The idea is really good — I would probably try again if it didn’t take so long to get back there. Still, your project was very smart in that sense! Congratulations on the great work!

Submitted(+1)

I Like the initial like sign up contract and i can see that you put a lot of hard work in this 

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I tried my best to make something fun. :)

Submitted

Great job! I can tell you put a lot of work into this. Lots of original artwork. While the dialogue can be a bit slow, I do appreciate all the work that went into creating all of it.  Congrats!

Developer

Thank you for noticing all the hard work I put into this. It was a lot, especially since I have a full time job and was moving during the second half of the jam. But it's worth it when people appreciate the work that went into it. :)

Submitted

Congratulations, it’s quite different from the other games :)

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you thought it was original!

What i liked of this game is the originality! i'd just wanted to see the E button as a choice at the beginning, or at least i didn't see it. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a bunch! I'll add in an E button prompt once the jam is over. :)

WELL DONE BRO 🔥 VERY NICE GAME❣️

NICE GAME!

Submitted

Well this was a *funny* experience...

This game was honestly really well made for the most part, for some reason i really REALLY loved the intro with the signature, it's always the smallest details that i end up really enjoying. Gameplay-wise, it was a little too slow in my opinion, mainly because of the dialogues.. First of all, you cannot skip lines, and second of all you have to wait some seconds before going to the next line once the current one is done getting typed, which was really annoying to get through, other than that, the dialogue was really good and.. *funny*. But the best part of the gameplay was definitely the minigames, and i gotta admit the photo minigame made me laugh so much thanks to this stupid abomination you've allowed me to create. (Image above)
No issues with the audio, some dialogue blips were a little annoying but they didn't bother me that much.

Overall this game is well written and lives up to it's name, it's main problem is mainly the slow dialogue pacing, but other than that it was a really good short story, great job dude!

Developer

Wow, thanks so much for the detailed feedback! I definitely agree that the dialogue is slow and it does bring the game down a bit. I should have taken the time to make the dialogue either scroll faster and/or be skippable. Some of the waits are quite long, like you said. 

I’m glad you liked the minigames! I wanted to add more and fine tune them, but work and moving happened at the same time as the jam, so it is what it is. 

Again, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to play and leave such a nice comment. 

Submitted(+1)

It's all good dude, you get to learn from your mistakes! And don't worry, i think the minigames you've added were good enough!

No problem, you did a very good game and even with the dialogue stuff i still had a lot of fun with it! I wish the best of lucks to ya!

Submitted

decently fun and funny game but the dialogue was driving me a bit crazy it was so slow and it broke like 3 times and was unable to progress,  also the stamp minigame just didnt spawn enough stamps for me the first time so i failed despite catching them all, complaints aside very silly game i liked

Developer

Can you tell me how the dialogue broke? I’d like to fix it after the jam if I can. Also I’m sorry about the dialogue being too slow and unskippable. I did want to make it skippable but didn’t plan ahead and then ran out of time. Thank you for the feedback and for playing!

Submitted

when talking to the girl the first time it let me keep walking right as she talked which triggered the elevator text also and i was unable to talk to her anymore after that, and i don’t remember what happened the second time but i got stuck in one of clonkers’ dialogues and it wouldn’t let me proceed

Developer

Ah, I see what happened then. I’ll get to fixing that after the jam. Thank you for giving my the helpful feedback! I really appreciate it. 

Submitted

It looks great. The gameplay was fun. The main character's voice sounds made my ears hurt. (Sensory issues. It's not you.)

Developer

I’m sorry about the voice! I did pick an annoying sound, to be fair. Thank you for playing and for the feedback.

i enjoyed the mini games

Submitted

Very nice and goofy, it looks amazing and it's very charming with all the NPC-s and it fits the theme very well, great work!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing and for the kind words! I tried really hard to make something funny and goofy, so I’m glad you liked it. :)
