Dude, that's sick!
I do not participate in this one but got the notification about your new game, and I love it. You nailed the theme and that's so cool how fun it is. I'd honestly say that the "Casual" play I'd make even easier. x) I cannot pass egg cracking for like 5-6 tries, and I'm not the worst player. x)) But that's minor. The art is just great for that game! Crazy you did yourself in 2 days. But really, the way you played the theme, that's just wow! (Main reason I didn't participate was that I didn't like the theme, that's why I'm impressed by your interpretation).
Some feedback however:
1. Well, progress bars in some minigames would be really good: in egg cracking and pre-Squid Game specifically but maybe in Everybody hates Dino as well. But since I had the main problem with the egg round, I'd really appreciate seeing how many more "good-passes" I need. I know that you have it in art, but I genuinely thought I need 1-2 more when in reality I needed 6 or 7.
In pre-Squid Game it's also with art, yes, but when I was getting closer I got confused at what point I'll actually eat him (btw, really like your "solution" with the meat there as a timer limitation - super in theme again!) . So if not changing the angle of the camera, I'd at least add something when you're getting closer. So it's more clear.
And I don't have much more to say, lol. It's crazy to have it in 2 days even when you thought it out long before the jam started. x)
The ending twist is a peak comedy.

I am glad you played my game :). I would love to see your entry, but I understand the theme thing. I wasn’t that excited about the theme either, especially compared to the last jam, but I had this idea of making a game focused on some minigames that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
And for the feedback, I’m sorry that the game wasn’t easy enough. I made it easier like three times, but maybe it’s because I’m the developer and there wasn’t much time to playtest xD. I also noticed that the progression bar wasn’t as noticeable as it should have been, but I finished adding the sound just 20 minutes after the time limit, so I couldn’t do much about it.
Thanks for playing my game :D (btw, what do you mean by “Everybody Hates Dino”?)
Just replayed the game to see what I meant by that, realized that it was my bad, I hallucinated about some stuff that wasn't in your game - sorry, don't think about this part.
But here's a think, as I replayed it, I passed egg round in first try and felt that it was kinda easy... What? x))
Do you have some combo mechanic there that if you pass several times without "cross" you crack the egg faster?
And again, visual humor that you have there is just awesome. x)))
Genuinely wish you win. :)
