Plug your CD player(s?) into the plug sockets

Solve peoples problems and haul them out of their depression into a world of expression! But the real question is: Can YOU YOURSELF be happy?!



- - -

Okay, I've finally had a chance to fix my game. There were lots of code-fixes so that players could reach the end of the game but no further art or music has been added. I'm afraid of being disqualified due to the sheer amount of problems I needed to fix but, in terms of what was in the game files, I've tried to alter as little as possible. Here's my list of fixes:

- The people/heads and plug sockets needed to be spaced out and arranged so I have extended the screen and now have a camera that follows the player so that they can see where they're going
- Variables have been assigned properly as to play the appropriate dialogue and music
- Fixed a mountain of various little game-fatal bugs

I was able to make the cyan face happy, but I couldn't do anything to the white one.

Oh... cute game! If there's a second stage, I can't get to it. I just cheered up the cyan face, but I couldn't manage to make myself happy... I got confused for a bit myself and thought that the power socket was another little person, but on my second playthrough I figured it out. Loved the music.

Thank you for the game!

pretty cute! A bit bare-bones, but very interesting all the same. I like the rainbow rings shooting out of all the audio sources. They add a nice sense of joy and happiness to the environment.

EVERYTHING IS PERFECT!

Loved the audio in this game. There wasn't much challenge or depth to the gameplay, but the audio more than made up for it, making it a good experience. Good job!

quite minimal in terms of challenge, but the music and writing were good.

Really great game. The music was amazing. I wish the text stayed up longer so I could read it better but overall great work.
