You Only Get One Face by tripleVisionGames

[raw]
made by tripleVisionGames for LD28 (JAM)
Inspired by McFunkypants and his crazy charity button antics, I thought I'd have a crack at trying to raise some money!

So, I thought, what do I have that I can auction off for charity?

Well, my friends, I have my beard, but I only have one.

Well, that beard is going to be sacrificed.

At your hands.

Now, I love my beard dearly, but this just seemed like it was more important than my feelings on the matter. Also, I was mightily hungover and, by the time I'd sobered up enough to realise it was a bad idea, I'd already made half the game.

Anyway...

************************* HOW TO PLAY **********************

- Make different beards.

- Submit your creations to see if they are a close enough match to any of the 'charity beards'

- Find your favourite beards (you can refer to the guide on screen '?')

- Once you have found your favourite, you can vote for it by giving money to charity!!

- Each beard has a different charity

- The beard that earns the most for its charity will be worn through February (could only set the charity pages up to last until the end of the year so I'm going to duplicate them for the month of January)

Thank you, and enjoy!

Clever idea, and the charity tie-in and beard collecting were really nice touches. I've seen similar entries to this before, but this one is the best so far.

Very fun, I'm a bad barber, so wasn't able to make even half of this list. Awesome!

Hmm, hair I might consider for charity. Eyebrows I'm not so sure...

You have not just a mighty beard (as do I), but also a sense for
graphics and fun gameplay. Much like your last LD game, this is real
good.. Impressive!

Love the idea, but unfortunately my artsy beard creation was replaced with a full beard after pressing submit :(

Wait.. you didn't implement this on purpose, did you ;)

I'm really impressed by how you made the game guess what hairstyle it was. The game was a very interesting concept and you did a great job. You get a thumbs up from me! :D

Nice Idea! I recognised the menu music from the Elder Sign Android game...

YES! Beard collecting! Hands down, best idea out there.

BUT, add a "restart" button, so you don't have to undo a bunch of times to get back to the start!

Kevin MacLeod is an amazing source of licence free music. I would 100% recommend checking out his stuff at http://www.incompetech.com - just remember to attribute him!

Scoobyben, not sure I've played Elder Sign but I'm going to look it up, that tune from Kevin is LOVELY :D

I tried to make monkeytail beard, but it keeped saying that I already made that beard - I guess it was confisuing it with the full beard or so... Anyway - very interesting idea, I spend on this one much more time than I planeed :)
