This is without question a masterpiece for the ages. Witty humour, unique take on the theme, holy grail vibes, ASTONISHING music, this submission has it all, and to think it was made in a mere 9 hours. Makes me nostalgic for the simpler times of flash gaming. 10/10 would eat 20 cheesewheels again.

That was very funny experience. Tbh what I loved most was the staring contest right at the beginning - I just wasn't prepared to do something like this. I am truly astonished that you did this in 9 hours, you have my respect.
What a wonderful entry!

Nice entry. The staring contest was hilarious, but I was remarkably bad at it... took me probably ten tries, then got through the rest a lot more smoothly.

Also how dare you not count this as a masterpiece:

Great points on humor, and well done for such a rushed entry.

@sn4pi Really glad you enjoyed the entry! Thank you very much :)

@jeremy-ryan Glad you enjoyed it! And on behalf of Masterpiece-o-Rater, I am terribly sorry that it didn't take that as a masterpiece, the code is truly flawed it seems and I will now shamefully smack myself in the head with my keyboard as a punishment.

This was so entertaining and a great take on the concept. First one I was like "ah ok, this will be interesting" then they just got better from there. Solid little minigames, a really fun time. Great work!

Great game! Great sense of humour and the graphics were charming in their own way. Good job on making different mini-games in such a short amount of time.

This was so much fun! That "battle music" got me pumped every time I failed. Though I think the staring contest was the hardest of all the minigames, probably shouldn't have started with that one :smile: loved the way his head spun on his neck though haha.

@almax Hey glad you enjoyed it! You are right, staring contest might've been too hard for the first level but let's just count it off as an intentional design to subvert expectations for the rest of the game

Pretty funny! I laughed at seeing what the challenges were, and some of them had decent gameplay as well!

My biggest feedback would be the interface layout for the screen where you click "Next"
- put the botton bottom right not top-left
- make it look like a button (I tried a bunch of random keyboard inputs before I found it)
- give some visual or audio feedback when it is clicked (I missed one of the challenge descriptions by clicking Next twice on accident

@almost Glad you enjoyed it! You are right about the UI, it could definitely be more feedbacky :) Glad that you enjoyed the experience!
