It has a great idea and awesome art. The levels were fun and story was funny 😁.

Developer

Thank you! So happy the humor worked for you 💖🐼

This game gotta be one of the most fun game this GameJam. The faces are funny, and the story is simple yet wholesome. However, sometimes the mouth glitches below the face, and the grading system isn't immediate(it's at the end of the game), which makes it less satisfying. Wonderful game, keep up the great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! The mouth glitch is a known bug on our fix list. The delayed grade is actually intentional — we wanted the reveal at the end to feel like a surprise. Might rethink it though! 💖🐼

that's such a fun spin! realised at the end i could move my ears but i got grade A regardless 😎

Developer

Thanks! Grade A is impressive, glad you had fun 💖🐼

underrated game! i really love how the expression is set to the scenario, it adds so much more to the plot! the jokes are great in this game as well, good job!

Developer

thank you! Really appreciate you saying that, so glad you enjoyed the humor 💖🐼

Unique, very cute and funny spin on Who's Lila! I'm impressed with how well made the facial movements are considering the time we had for the jam. Definitely a theme that could be expanded further if you wish, but i also really like it as this byte-sized experience

Developer

Thanks so much! Who's Lila was actually one of our direct inspos, glad it comes through :D Really appreciate the kind words! ❤️🐼

God I feel sorry for this girl who had to put up with all the horrific faces I made! I did my best to have manners... 

Developer

Poor girl indeed :( Glad you tried your best! Thanks for playing! 🐼❤️

This game was really creative and unique. Great work, and congratulations on your efforts!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words ❤️🐼

Really fun and such a great concept. Everything felt really well polished too, I only saw one very minor bug where the level started and it acted like I was gripping his face when I wasn't but clicking fixed it. This is one of the best games I've seen so far!

Developer

Thanks! That's a new bug on our list to check out. Really appreciate the kind words! 🐼❤️

what a funny game!! i had a blast making all those faces for all the silly scenarios. the art definitely pulled it all together bc his face is so expressive, but i can't imagine how y'all even got this to work from the coding side!! so cool! i kind of wished i could pull the middle of the eyebrow to move only that part of the eyebrow upwards, but i had to pull the edges instead. but it's super minor! nice work!!

Developer

Thanks so much! Great note on the eyebrow, definitely something we'd tweak in a bigger version. So glad you had fun 🐼❤️

It's a funny mix of the Mario 64 title screen and Who's Lila, which makes for a pretty hilarious, engaging and easy to understand gameplay. The narration going along the gameplay was funny too.

There's a lot of polish in the visuals, even in the menus and tutorials!

Sometimes it's hard to know if you're going to pass or fail (I struggled for the kiss) but it's never too much of a bother and the whole game can be completed, and stays addictive through the end.

Well done on the deformation and overall fun of the game, I really enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks for the detailed review! Both Mario 64 and Who's Lila were direct inspos, so glad you spotted them :D the Kiss level is a little bit tricky, appreciate the feedback! 🐼❤️

Really really good! crazy that all this was made in 4 days, couldnt even begin to know how it works. had a great time!

Developer

thanks!! We ran on caffeine for 4 days straight :D  So glad you enjoyed it! 🐼❤️

Easily one of the most unique game concepts I've seen! I loved the weird faces; the narrative was so amazingly done! The pixel art is so incredible! The music was amazing and suspenseful, truly matched the countdown theme! Only critique is probably to make it easier to select the face (but it's already very intuitive). The game is genuinely so well done, though I'm speechless! One of my fav games so far!

Developer

Thank you! glad the narrative and the art landed. yeah, a better selection system would definitely help players, but in 4 days that was all we could manage. really appreciate you playing 💖🐼

Submitted(+1)

I don't know what it wants. No matter what face I make, its not accepting it.  But its a really cool concept. Great job

Developer

Sorry about that! did you check the "Learn" button in the main menu?  there are some tips in there to help you out. if you did and it still feels off, thats on us to fix. thanks for playing despite the trouble! 💖🐼

Absolutely nailed it! a lovely game that gives early android games enjoyable vibes and modern pixel art feel, loved it, keep going guys!

Developer

Thanks brother 🫂 glad you enjoyed it 💖🐼

5 stars in every department! The mario 64 style of changing expressions in the menu hooked me right away. I like how the music speeds up and gets more intense the longer it goes on (although the menu music angered me with some of those sound effects you chose lol) The art style has a lot of charm, and the narrative is one of the best in the jam! I feel like i grew up with this kid and I really hope you expand on this to show what happens as he gets even older! And gameplay-wise, it was very intuitive and fun to play. It's such a funny and charming idea that was executed perfectly. Literally no complaints about the game outside of wanting more.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! Mario 64 was actually the direct inspiration for the face pulling. Menu music being chaotic was intentional, glad it landed (sorry not sorry 😅).
We're thinking about expanding it. Had to cut features like random sabotages and more scenarios due to time. Follow our itch.io for updates!
Thanks again 🐼❤️

I was getting bored but then I came across your game and WOWWWW. I'm blown away. If I could I would've given 10 stars for each part. Loved it, saved it, shared it.
