Awesome lil game very fun! One of my favorites of the jam so far. The little rayman looking guys are great.

This is by far my fav game I've played so far! Funny and original! 

I think you would enjoy our game about little creatures who make funny noises!

Really fun!! You did a great job with the animation and sounds, and the menu and game page are so charming too!  I think it'd be great if the time count was part of the hud

This game is pretty epic. The main thing I adore is the mechanic of switching seats. It gives you something to do while looking at the principal. I would've thought about making it an option whether the locations are randomised or not. I understand that for players like you guys, who have played it a lot, the mechanic is more fun if it is always randomised, but for new players it feels a bit meaningless relearning the roster each round when there are already so many other things to keep in mind. I feel like for beginners it could be a very simple permanent growth element. Defo make it an option though, don't force it. Defo.

Thanks for the feedback! I struggled a lot with the switching seats thing as well, that is why this cheating has more time to catch than other cheats, but I can understand the problem.

I'll check in with the team and ask their opinion about this, and later, depending on their thoughts, we'll put in the option to make it more easy!

This was extremely fun and unique! But I ought to expel all these lousy, cheating students! The voice acting was also really funny and charming as well. My only complaint is that the running feels a bit slippery, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Amazing game!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback and I do agree that it is a little slippery for my taste as well
I'll tweak this later on!

That was a fun time ahah. I laughed out loud when seeing one of the student play the animation to cheat on the other student behind him but he was at the alst row and just looked at the wall. Great work!

This was so fun! The animation and noise whenever I would whack a student was satisfying :DD Would have loved seeing a timer and more clarity if we whacked cheaters or just poor "honest" students ^^

Developer

Thank you for playing! When you whack a student, it emits red stars. When you hit a cheater it emits green stars. But yes, in hindsight, it might not be that intuitive...  Maybe different Sounds, like a buzzer or a "ding" would help!

This is a really interesting game. I really like the art style it has very funny looking characters in a good way. The feel for the game is really nice. Well done!

Did not expect the Whac-A-Mole-like gameplay concept to fit into the theme. Very cool game!

Developer

Thanks! We made sure whacking them felt good

Developer

Thank you for the comment! Unfortunatly, we didn't find a good song for the main menu... But the school's should be playing just fine!

really? school theme didn't play for me

Developer

The music is not that loud, but you could here the other effects, right?
