Cool background music, and fun idea. No idea if the game ever ends, but since the theme is "stuck in a loop" i guess it never does

Hey, so... Feedback:

It was fun and hectic and I managed to run away. There is not much to critique here. You managed to deliver a game and the core component of hectic answering to sometimes stupid questions and the humor.

Personally, I think this is a fine addition to the jam. :thumbsup:

I'd like to file a complaint - the sun does wear sunglasses.

Really fun and engaging game. I'm shocked at how nervous I got when trying to answer. The paperwork just piled up too fast and I couldn't finish, although maybe that's the point. ;)

I loved the humor in these questions and the music was very grovvy. Maybe show an indicator of how to win? Other than that it was fun!

This reminds me of a really old game from newgrounds I can barely remember. Nice job!

You really nailed the feeling of being rushed to do something. The character animation is simple, but it is really fitting! Nice job!

the questions are humorous and fun! not sure if there is a way to finish it. I've been playing for 5 min but I keep on screwing up every 15 seconds. This makes me feel smart and dumb at the same time. weird feeling. gives me those flash games that we will forever miss after this year

This was a fun little game, even if I was in an endless hell. Good work!

I'm not convinced this game has an ending. Some people have posted images of the final screen, but I don't believe them. I'm stuck in paper hell for all eternity. 10/10 best teacher i love them please let me go

I think as a not native english speaker I have no chance in this game xD

Cool game, kinda challenging, but great. a web version of this would be nice, but I I guess the used framework does not easily support that

This was torture!.... but in a surprisingly enjoyable way? I didn't originally get that I was racing against the paperstack, but probably even learned something on the way =)

That was so frustratingly fun, Great concept. I could easily see this as a mini challenge in a full release game.

A very classical and simple concept. In fact it's juste a QUIZ. The only link with the theme is that it's an unending game (and there's a ton of unending games). But I like this kind of simple games where we can learn with fun. And Some shifted questions/answers are very funny. Lot of good ideas in the text. And with the stress of the time, it's not so easy to choose the right answer :-) Thanks for this little funny game.

Played it for quite some time and my god how hard did i try to win the game, but managed to do it in 370 seconds. Nice game, it really goes well with the theme and it does what it has to do, be fun.
The core mechanic of the game really is well made, and the fact that there are so few questions makes it possible to answer them in such a quick fashion. You could have different levels, each with different questions and things like this. The few weird questions really took me by surprise like the one with the wall of china and the sun. They are funny, i guess you could add a lot of pop culture references here as well or just plain joke-questions.
Really nice game and hope to see more of it! Cheers and good luck dude!
