Something about this game has a very off-putting vibe. I think it's a combination of the minimalist interstitial title screens, the simple but surprisingly effective collage style graphics, and the sound effects with no music. I don't know if the vibe is intentional, but to be honest, I absolutely love it. Everything is just very strange.

A lot of the games boiled down to the same basic thing, and some of them gave you no feedback that you were doing the correct thing at all, which was a more than a little frustrating. The electricity one felt especially long, whereas others, like the phone scrolling, felt especially short.

All that said, this is seriously my favorite entry I've played so far. I might just have strange tastes in games, but this just works so well for me. I also like the kind of "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach to the theme. Some overlap with other games approaches (rotary phones, locks, bikes), and others are a bit more out there (brushing teeth, stealing electricity??). Really awesome. I love it. More like this please.

Very interesting and weirdly calming game with some great photbashed visuals. I really like the simple nature of each of the tasks but some guidance might have been useful, since I didn't get the unlocking minigame and I felt like the coffee grinding one went on too long. Also I had to google how to use a rotary phone for this game so that was an experience. Overall good game, nice work!

Heh, this was certainly unique! I quite enjoyed the first couple of mini games and was quite into the silly photo-like style. I thought the later games fell of quite a bit. Maybe having fewer but more "polished" games would have been better?

Got this in random queue! Love the image as a thumbnail.

Let's do a play by play

  • Godot based
  • Ok brushin teeeth. Lets brush the teeth of this old man with green ah teeth.
  • The doctor says it.
  • The old man looks happy now I brushed him! 
  • O I love the grandma thing. This is such a fun little "hey do these important little things" kind of game. 
  • Fun to see a Warioware kind of thing in this in a different take! We also did something warioware like.
  • Good to use a retro phone again! 

I see the theme! All games loosely have spinning in it. It's cute!

GREAT GAME BUT HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT THE THEME!

I found that surprisingly enjoyable, nice work! Took me a while to steal electricity though, wish there was some feedback on the numbers. After a couple minutes I realized, oh yeah, if your stealing it, you want the numbers to go backwards.

Was kinda scared with the teeth but then I understood and I am now at peace with the world and my chakras aligned, thank you.

Hell yeah

I aspire to have those teeth one day

Even though I was raised in the '90 it seems I don't remember how to use a rotary phone :(
