Glad you enjoyed it! Uncto would be glad to hear that!

Such a fun game! The only one i've played so far that i wanted to finish :-D And i almost did, the last equation tripped me up :-P

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the game!

It was very hilarious! And i have not much to say except from “brilliant”. Loved the idea, the concept, and how you make it. Not really sure I understood the ending ahaha

Thank you for enjoying the game. The ending was a bit rushed but glad to hear you enjoyed the rest!

Very charming. Reminds of "There Is No Game". Great work!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

If there was a humour rating it would be 5/5, the whole thing kept me guessing as well, a very entertaining game good job :) 

Developer

Thank you for liking the game! Glad you were entertained!

Amazing game, gave me vibes of There is no game. Also I loved the meta jokes you put, lol. And I can confirm that nothing really happens when countdown reaches zero, Joey is completely fine and is probably making some indie games, that I would love to play.

Developer

Thank you for the review. I definitely didn't run out of time to add some dialogue for when the timer reaches zero. I guess it matched the title:)

Absolutely hilarious. Off-screen **** was brilliant.

I'm quite glad that I just clicked play and didn't check the screenshots, as everything was a complete surprise for me, and that fed into my enjoyment greatly.

Great writing, the kazoo-esque sound effect for the voice worked really well too. And I liked the quiz at the end! I felt like it was a gimme and just more or less to round off the story, but apparently people aren't familiar with zero division huh?

Really really enjoyed this. Thank you.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing the game! Uncto would be glad to know you enjoyed it!

I love an off-screen gag. 
Making the last quiz question math was diabolical.
It was very undertale-esque, I did in fact find the plant-growing quite soothing, I wish someone would make that concept into a full game ;) 

Nice work!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed Moondrop Valley!

I really loved the humor of the game and yeah the ENDING !!, Great work.

I liked that the world timer added a sense of urgency but was also lenient. Good job!

i was very pleased with the surprise "games", great story and funny!

only issue is the game reloading if you don't answer correctly in the trivia, after 5-10' of play

keep the good work!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing the game! The trivia bit was a bit rushed but glad you still enjoyed the game!

Submitted

Great game/s with a hilarious story, the trivia at the end was very hard but worth it!

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked the story! Uncto is responsible for the trivia not me!

A cute little game. It has a fairly clever story for its runtime. Overall: a good experience.

This feels like Deltarune meets There Is No Game, and I mean that as a compliment. Also, using the theme like this is honestly so clever - having a countdown is supposed to be important, but you manage to make it all super funny and pointless (in a good way) instead. It's amazing!

Thank you very much for liking my game! Those two were definitely big inspirations for this game.
