Especially when you've gone to the trouble of making it actually look cool inside! Just criminal. 

The struggle is real...

Hahaha yeah you can't really hit any record numbers kissing potty mcplant every year 🥲

It really is a shame all of the tools around here are built by eVil Co.  Talk about planned obsolescence!

...slider works perfectly...  Just didn't know it was there 😭

I played this game for NINETY MINUTES and I didn't pause once.

☠️

Oh dude that would have killed me if I didn't get to hear one of the tracks.  They're hilarious and I was hanging out for them after I found each one.  Thankfully, I didn't get hit by that bug! (so I can understand how you missed it)

Ahh yes sorry the key you get is actually the one for the attic (which you can then access the roof through).  That's kind of confusing if you don't hover over them for their item names in the inventory.  The key to the second house was hit by a last minute bug and it doesn't actually spawn when it should - sorry!  The third house is also perma-locked due to another last minute bug...  Frustratingly both of these were caused by fixing a different bug...  That IS fixed!  Don't fix your code last minute kids!

So yes sadly it is missing access to a bunch of content that is in actual fact all in there.  But at least you can still kiss anything - that is, anything else!

Thanks so much - I'm glad you had fun with it!

Nice game!  Would have loved more murders to go through.  It was a little confusing on how to submit the theory...  It just automatically went through when I got it right (I didn't get it right I was just trying to submit it and kept swapping things out haha).  Very cool game though!

Also your game is insanely cool - I just spent way too long playing it.  Great work 🔥

Maybe maybe!

Yeah sadly there were two significant bugs in the code that turned up last minute during a different last minute bug fix (we didn't notice until the next morning).  One bug stopped a bunch of items from spawning correctly - including the House 2 door key.  The other made House 3 stay locked every year.  On top of that, the people (and some other creatures you can't reach...) all need at least one item from House 2 or 3 to be collected before you can kiss them, so it made them all impossible options...  So I guess the game is now just about kissing showers and pot plants.  But people still seem to be enjoying that, they're a bunch of crazies 👀

We'll do a post-jam upload with a few enhancements that fix those bugs in the next little while if you remember to come back to it - but otherwise thanks so much for playing and for the feedback!  I'm glad you enjoyed it and still managed to appreciate our vision!

Did I gather all of the trash?  (maybe) Did I figure out halfway through that I could INSTEAD collect cassette tapes? (maybe) Did I STILL COLLECT ALL OF THE TRASH AND CASSETTE TAPES?!  (okay yes and it took like 90 minutes)

FREAKING insane how did you make this in four days??  It gives major Spyro/Crash Bandicoot/Banjo Kazooie which are very obvious influences.  I love it.  Sorry to all of the other games I could have been rating instead... but this is fire 🔥

My only criticism is please please please adjust the camera sensitivity I yeeted myself into the trash compactor so many times I ought to have had an increase on the trash counter every time I respawned... 😭

Also maybe make the trash compactor suck the items in?  It would be very satisfying to throw the trash more into its general area and not get it stuck in a dumb corner (from which I will inevitably yeet myself into the trash compactor AGAIN AAARRRGGHH)

Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback!  I'm glad you enjoyed what we put together.  Great suggestion about the input overlay while in front of the doors - I've done this with jams in the past but didn't even think to do it this time around!  It would add a lot of polish.  I'd love to swap out most of the text for custom UI art in a post-jam release.

The artwork and characters for this are super cute!  Great work putting this together in just four days!!!  Fun gameplay too.  Level 5 was pretty brutal - I think if it got any more difficult the hitboxes (especially the flames) might need to be a touch more forgiving, but I really like the current balance for what you have :)

Thanks heaps!  I hope you had a chuckle :)

Very cool!  Some of these puzzles took me a while to figure out but it was overall very satisfying to solve.  Great game design!

At first I was disappointed with how simple this was (the INCREDIBLE Persona-esque art style drew me in).  But it's actually so freaking good.  The simplicity makes it so easy to just keep playing and playing and... I had to stop to rate it 5/5 for everything and write this feedback.  It's the perfect jam game.  This is all I'm going to write because now I need to go and kill Count Dracula!!!

These are some genuinely cool mechanics!  Would love to see what this looks like as a fully fleshed out game.

Nooo I am clown food!  Why'd they have to kidnap Mr. Clicking Pro alongside me, best I got he still had 8s on the clock :(

Thanks so much for playing!  New Year's Eve is the one time that isn't weird.  Right...?

So beautiful, you guys have done an amazing job!  The different art styles blend together perfectly.  I had a little trouble with the attack and interact button being the same (trying to swing at a rat and getting sucked into a minigame) so maybe it could be an idea to make these different buttons?  Otherwise no notes!

Thanks and I'm glad you had a bit of fun!  Watch out wardrobes and fridges, it's a whole new world!

Just the amount that went into making this is insane.  How did you make this in four days?!

Unfortunately, I've just been in a four day game jam, and this has triggered my trauma... It's too real!

A little confused where to go at the beginning, and then I seemed to get stuck in a taxi?  I think I'm going to miss my flight :( 

A classic clicker setup. Now that you have this built you can iterate on it in future! Good job for finishing!

Amazing in every way.  The typing out your answers gimmick really adds a layer of dorkiness and stress.  I missed a few of the faster ones because I spent too long thinking!  You've knitted this narrative together beautifully.

Well, the ice cream looks tasty.  Better luck next jam I guess!

Ahaha 'You died. Mother has found you' is such a surprisingly poignant line!!  This is hilarious, I really wasn't expecting the artwork shift when the door opens.  Really effective.  I love it all - great work.

Yesss I have succeeded with my design goals!  Haha.  Thanks so much for playing.  I'm glad you found what you were looking for (was it the table tennis table?  😘 )

I really like this!  I'm a sucker for anything with a good skill tree.  It would be cool to introduce more hazards - like maybe rain that last for a few seconds?  You could telegraph it with cloud shadows rolling in?

Thanks so much!  I'm glad you had fun.  Yes, finishing is always the biggest battle 😅

Very good!!  It took me a couple of tries to realise that doing the snooze is what was causing me to fail hahaha.  Also exiting the bus is so stressful 😬😬

Fair enough, kissing pot plants and kitchen cabinets isn't for everyone 🫡

Hahaha sounds like a wild new year's eve party. We didn't prioritize the time to work a screen into the game as it seemed fairly unnecessary in the context of a browser game, but the intro would have just been the game's one liner from the page: It's 11:59 on New Years Eve and you're late to the party - QUICK! Kiss ANYTHING!

Such a good game for a jam! Well done! I ran out of boosts very quickly so maybe there should be a more frequent way to replenish those... or maybe I just got unlucky 😅

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)

It's quite complicated (I would have appreciated more of a tutorial rather than a written guide?) But I think it's pretty satisfying when you wrap your head around it! Some cool gameplay mechanics to get into for sure. 

Actually so stressful 🫠 great job capturing the vibes!!

A cool idea that would be fun to iterate on! Like others the nose cone game was an issue. But I'm on android and just tapped a lot and got 3 stars?  Maybe a bug if you're meant to draw a circle...

I regret not taking the fighting aliens sections of my high school math assessments more seriously.

So good!  Great music, great art, great juice.  Would happily play a full game of this!
