This is a really creative entry! I really love the presentation and the humor. I feel like the pixelated people really add to it. This game is also surprisingly tough! The turtle race got me twice, and I really enjoyed the quick mental math. Having to get it either right or wrong was a nice twist. The third game is a really pleasant surprise, and a good challenge. It took me quite a few attempts, but I appreciate that the pattern is always the same so you can learn it. Really excellent use of screen shake and sound to sell impact.
Awesome job!
Wow, such a creative game. I love the concept of a terrifying game show—it’s a great critique of the "more is more" mentality in entertainment and the descent into violent games. I also loved the ending glitch. Well, I didn't actually win the game; Bob killed me. The only downside for me was that I would have liked some subtle sound effects during the turtle game, though I did appreciate the lack of music during the mini-games; it made me feel really uneasy, which worked well for the atmosphere—it felt like being on death row. Nice works ! -Off
Thanks for the feedback!
All parts of the game include a soundtrack and sound effects. There are others like you who said they had no sound during the game, but I haven't figured out the reason yet.
If you could say when the sound stopped working for you (or if it was never there at all) it would help a lot!
Nice game! I really enjoyed the game show atmosphere and the overall presentation. It was a fun take on the theme and a great experience, especially for a game made in just a week.
Wow! THAT WAS AMAZING!! The mechanics are rich and unique, visuals are very polished and really nice! GREAT JOB :D

I really liked this! I was not expecting a platforming boss fight at the end LOL.
I have only one real nitpick: it would feel so much better if you let the PLAYER spin the wheel after the minigame (instead of just auto-spinning it). This gives the player some agency, even if it is just a little button that says "Spin"
Very cool! Fun idea, love the boss fight at the end! Writing is good too!
Oi, brutal game, winning 6/8 the first game and losing is definitely a new type of frustration :D, but it is a great experience, and love the design of the game and mini games aspect of it, amazing work ♥
This game is excellent at making you stressed, having a chance to lose even when you did well is an awesome touch!
I love the blurry hosts and the hand movements are very accurate lol.
The music is great and fits the theme very well.
I love that the minigames are actually hard too, I was so excited when the arena started spinning.
Even I can't think up of something worth criticizing.
Overall a super solid game, but I'm a bit sad it's so short :)
This is super well done!
Gambling even if you win 7/8 is a good way to keep the thrill... o _ o
Overall, really cool game with SERIOUSNESS!
One of the funniest games I've played so far in this jam. Good job.
Very polished for a jam, congratulations. One of the most frenetic games, the minigames were a lot of fun.
This was great
The music really set the atmosphere, the minigames that influenced the wheel and the crunchy sprites were all amazing
Great game
The wheel spins are completely random, for better or worse. Glad you liked it!
Awesome game! It gave me chills as I waited to see if I passed. Audio was immaculate and the visuals had a lot of character. Great work!
It really gave me an awesome game show vibe, and that thrill of spinning the wheel even though you were winning 7-1 was genuinely stressful :-)
Unfortunately, I totally messed up the ending, that was too much for my brain. But really well done, it was a lot of fun.
Sooo good! Really liked the visuals and how polished it is. Impressive for just one week, wow
Now I get how it fits the theme: when the screen starts spinning, Bob wins. And I die. Bob spins the screen to win. (Just kidding.)
I tried my best, but I couldn’t get past the third level. I don’t know if there’s a fourth level beyond that. As far as the part I played goes, this is a really well-made game! Great job! :D
Pretty fun game! I love the atmosphere and the minigames, the visuals are good as well, I loved the pixelated people :D I liked the music too. Overall a pretty enjoyable game!
Wow. This game in so good! I enjoyed the minigames and the boss at the end, the visuals were awesome and the sound design was very good too. I also really like the story and this game is very polished too. A lot of effort must have went into this. Good job!
