made by Dan Colman for LD 42 (JAM)

Stu just wants to relax, but it's getting really crowded. Everyone wants their turn in the hot tub, and they need Stu's helpful hand to keep them from exploding. Left-click to throw saline-filled syringes at your tub-mates' pressure points so they don't explode. Watch life unfold as you battle to keep everyone alive... Good luck!!! 💉💉💉🥔

Well this was a random find, but a surprisingly great one. Really funny dialogue, and the music is fantastic! Took at bit of practice to get gud with the syringe throwing, but I'm having fun regardless. Congrats on making such a fun experience!

That was a weird but unique experience. A little aiming indicator would have been nice since it was pretty hard to hit the syringes

Hahahaha, this one is seriously great! I don't know what kind of experience I expected out of this game, but THAT wasn't it! Hilarious. Throwing the syringes was just the right amount of challenging and the dialogue was great. Awesome game!

The music was so good! I loved their faces too. I had a hard time saving Paul once the little like tomato kids and mom got in because even though I was hitting it his top left pressure point wouldn't go away :/ Really enjoyed it anyway and am glad I got to play :)

Great game! Love the art, the world space text boxes, and the dialogue. It really makes the game feel complete and polished. The music also went really well with the mood. My biggest criticism would be that the syringe throwing felt unresponsive. Sometimes I'd click and the meter wouldn't start filling up. On top of that, the hit detection was a little rough on some of those bubbles. You'd hit them dead on and it wouldn't count, especially the top one on the cucumber. Otherwise, it was a really polished game. Good work!

JFYI, html5 version doesn't work​ for me. Just black screen after Unity logo with progress bar.

Lovely and funny game ! Loved to know each story of theirs. It was really hard to pull syringe on the potato, the collision box is too small and the right bublle of the potato, I never had it right even when I shoot in it.
Despite that, really fun game :)

I did not expect this! Well written dialogue and realistic characters with nice graphics. I'm just not so sure about the actual game part. Anyhow, I enjoyed it in all its splendid wierdness!

Linda seemed like a middle aged mother who finally got to "go wild" :D Very odd game, but really enjoyed it. And the music went absolutely perfectly with the scene.

What have I played??? xD
You people rock. This was the most humor game I've played so far in this LD. Thanks for that.
The music fits great too.
And I liked also the dialogues of the apple and the pear with the cucumber(I guess?)
In the end I wasn't able to beat the hot delicious potato. But that's ok. I had my fun.

Wow, that was fun! Hilarious. I couldn't beat the potato, but I'm going to have to try again cause I want to find out what happened at that wedding reception.

Hot Tub Stu composer here! Thanks all for the great feedback. If you had trouble with the cucumber and potato, please try again. It's now more forgiving.

What a silly game! I had no idea why we were throwing syringes, but it was enjoyable to play and very funny! Thanks for sharing your game with my stream. Here's a link to the vod of your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297479036?t=43m38s

Inspired! I love the entrances. It's got that magic level of awkwardness you see in good comedy.

A little bit traumatizing though. Saline-filled syringes in hot tubs is why I had to flee LA.
