You nailed the theme, maybe a lil too much though lol. I played the web version, and the game was quite laggy but I was able to play through a few days. The hair cutting and color mechanic was well implemented and having a mobile hair salon was a funny and creative take on the theme! Not sure if it was just because it was a web build but the client was constantly moving so nearly impossible to get any type of nice cuts on the client. Which was a bummer as that could have made it feel more skillful rather than just luck. But great entry overall. Good work!

Great take on the theme, and great implementation! The razors were pretty slow and buggy, and it was a bit too unstable for my liking but the art and programming is great!
I believe this is a top 20 game for sure! Thanks for making it!
Hair sim on a jam game! :O It was so cool I wish there were more of the game. Very good work!
Really original idea! Worth considering maybe adding an ability where they stop moving around so much so its easier to make precise cuts. I had fun though!
A very unique take compared to the usual haircutting games!! I definitely enjoyed the challenge, especially getting the last speck of hair to match the color. It's so fun, I think I can see it being a full-fledged game with more polish and level progression!! The pixel shader also really goes well will the style of the game, amazing job!
So fun and chaotic, I love how creative this game is on using the jam theme!
This is such a fun idea, I had a lot of fun playing this. It is super chaotic which adds to the whole unstable theme, really awesome job with the hair as well
Really fun and original idea !
Even though the score system seems totally random, I had a lot of fun trying to cut hair as good as I could (which often ended up extremely badly)
I don't understand what the third tool does, especially with the different settings (yes I should have followed the tutorial, but the rest felt really intuitive)
I'm curious, did you use something special for the physics or is it just a lot of ropes made with the engine's physics system?
Well done!
The original game is a great take on the theme. It’s fun, but it’s not very well developed in terms of small details. For example, you could improve the UI, optimize the game a bit, etc.
But I liked the music — it’s generally suitable, and the sounds are pleasant. The art is good and appealing. Overall, it’s a great idea, with average development, but it’s a fun game.
I’ll be glad if you also play my game and leave a comment. Good luck in the future!

Very laggy web experience but doesn't take away from the brilliant and funny game. Great job!
Rate my game?
Great game on theme! Performance was a bit slow at times. Super fun trying to cut with them swinging all over the place.
