So Cool we Kinda make The same Game U guys have to Try ours

Submitted

I think the only thing this game is missing is some sort of light-up indicator over the current cursor position to signify which parts of the face can actually be grabbed and moved around. Otherwise, really funny and clever game!

Submitted

Super creative idea! It was pretty hard to match the some of the faces due to how distorted some of them were since fixing something usually distorted some other part of their face. It also felt like they didn't fully match the reference like the woman's earrings not being circular. Funny and fun with a good premise!

Submitted

Game was genuinely very creative, and had a very creative idea of altering the facial expression! Loved the narrative too behind why their faces are like that! If I were to suggest anything is that in the image I attached the News transition covers their faces, I couldn't see it properly, and perhaps also adding like a pointer to let us know which points we can drag! Other than that, an amazing game, and amazing artwork! Loved it!

I love the idea, reminds me of that one Mario minigame. I had a few issues with it: some clicks don't do anything, and the "NEWS" text covers the portraits. Despite this, I think it has a lot of potential, congrats on a very solid entry!

If you have some time, feel free to check out our game and leave some feedback :D

Great concept! Execution is a little clunky (some clicks aren't able to stretch anything, and seemingly the same click then works) but I love the vibe, love how it was put together, and enjoyed my time. Awesome game!

Submitted

A truly hilarious premise! I loved the quirkiness and would love to see it built up even further: the producer panicking audibly, the final screen showing your failed attempts… The stretching was a bit finicky in that it not always wanted to move when I pulled. Regardless, very funny :)!

P.S.: I'm curious how you're handling the score calculation, care to share :)?

Submitted

Cool concept!  i messed up entirely and still got 79%!

Love the idea and  style, but it seemed impossible to actually get the face back to their forms since I could only change tiny bits.

Submitted

Holy that game was super fun and I enjoyed it a lot. The idea was genius and I laughed a lot trying to get the people ready ending up having them look like they snuck to earth due to my skill issue. Loved the NEWS transitions as it really added to the game. Great job!

Submitted

I loved this game! The countdown made thematic sense and it was super goofy. I don't know if this was just a problem with my browser but the little NEWS transition bars stayed on my screen after the transition was over, which made things a little hard to see. Other than that, this was superb!

Incredible idea but the controls didn't really work for me

Submitted

I like the idea a lot. It's especially funny to see the original next to the garbled one.
I think i would have loved to see them do their speech / journal etc with their deformed face at the end, it could have added some extra funny to the whole thing

Submitted

y'all have some beautiful minds LOL

Submitted

Its a cool idea but moving the faces was a bit hard (probably because I am on a trackpad) but it was still fun

Submitted

LOVE THIS IDEA!! Had a bit of trouble knowing where to click and getting 0s on faces I thought I did well and 80s on some I barely did anything too. Had a great time though :) Good Game !!

this is awesome haha 10/10
