The perfect game, I love it

Submitted

Nice game! Reminded of warioware but more interaction between the rounds, and i loved the fact that it messes with the numbers, swapping meanings etc.! :-)

Submitted

Very creative artwork! The game is very fast-paced and a bit stressful, but in a good way. At first, I wasn't very good at it and felt like I was always just a little too slow. I mostly found myself enjoying the beautiful aesthetic before focusing on the gameplay. Once I got the hang of it, though, the game itself became super fun. I really liked it!

We would also love to hear your feedback on our game! :)

Simple and charming game, the counting down theme is utilized very well. I'm not great with memorization games and there is a bit too much randomness involved with the difficulty as I feel I've had very polarizing runs, but as a small minigame, it does its job and has a very charming aesthetic to carry it forward.

Super cute game! I loved playing it, and I also like the replacing of numbers with the different card symbols throughout the levels. Very fun and reminded me of pressing under pressure. The artwork and audio were both amazing as well! Great game, I enjoyed playing it.

Developer

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

What a heinous demon you've created! I enjoyed being surprised by the objects showing up in new and horrible ways. My favorites were 1) objects being chucked across the screen and 2) oh its hand is here now, fantastic. I also liked the numbers being replaced with symbols and kinda wished it happened to more of the numbers (only 1 and 8 got changed for me, although 8 did cycle through a whole bunch of symbols).  Really great take on the theme and awesome work with it!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! Actually, at some point I considered making the game only choose the number with the least amount of changes when giving you a new symbol (in your case, that you've been 2-7). But I actually though the game started to get too difficult

It's still pretty funny that the game only chose 1 and 8 for you lol

the UI is so cool OMG and how can I not give 5 stars when you show me a silly clown?? awesome aswesome job!!!:D

Developer

Nothing better than a silly clown!

Glad you liked the UI! We probably spent almost as much time on it as the minigames lol

Haha what a cool braintwister of a game! Replacing the numbers with pictures is smart! It is quite a challenge!

Very well done. And as others have noted, the art is amazing :)

Developer

Thank you very much! I'm happy that you liked the replacing number mechanic. It was our way to spice the game up

Amazing work on the art and interpretation of the theme! I think an improvement to the mechanics to line up with the theme would be to count down instead of up. Not a dealbreaker though, don’t worry! Still a lot of fun.

Congratulations on finishing the jam!

Developer

Thanks a ton! Glad you liked our little silly game

I'm sorry, I might not be able to stop the little guy from crashing the wedding

I loved the handdrawn art here, so fun and whimsical! The pun in the overall framing of the game was cute, counting to get further down in the tower. I do think it could have been even cooler if you were actually counting down each time, instead of up, as well. Fun game!

Developer

Thank you! It really means a lot to us!

Nice! We'll would love to improve the game soon too!

Very interesting visual, and everything works fine, since the gameboy, the "warioware" style of game is my cup of tea I'd say, I think the final product is very good. well done

Developer

Thank you very much! I'm also surprised that the game does not have any obvious bugs (that I know of)

Submitted(+1)

Developer

It's a big boy tower for small big boy demon

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I went all out on the sound effects, but it is one of my favorite parts of making a game

Submitted(+1)

crazy hectic game, very warioware esque! also reminds me of some playground games i used to play back then haha. the art is super cute too, i love the squiggle demon

Developer(+1)

Squiggle Demon (and us) appreciate it! The warioware style was a strong inspiration, especially the mouth animation

(+1)

Ooooooh this is such a unique take on the prompt! Great presentation, really challenging gameplay, just a great time all round :3

Developer

Thank you! But not gonna lie, having to create mingames about counting is pretty challenging as well lol

Submitted(+1)

Extremely original concept and art direction!

Developer

Thanks! Having limited time does make for some wild game design lol
