Nice short and sweet pixel art experience as usual! :D

There were some small graphical bugs, I think the game is rendering outside the intended frame, at least for me.

Eg:

I didn't expect a game like this in the jam. I found it quite unique and really liked the mood. You left me wanting to play a lot more levels! ^^

Great job! Loved the overall mood and the creative vision behind it - BOLD move making multiple games INSIDE your game jam game. I tip the cap to you sir!

This was a really fun and quick game, I loved the little challenges and the story was oddly compelling. You nailed the humor, too! Good work.

Love the image of someone hanging upside down in the spotlight.
Challenge mode is an excellent way to get more playing time out of the little game and it adds some excitement.
Sound was a bit repetitive, but time was precious for you, I guess.

I liked the drama. Sound of lights turning on plus the reveal was neat.

Nice one. Good humor

i did not fully get the first mini game with the axe - basically just won it by chance randomly, good catch of the theme in the start

Awesome :)

A very fun experience, really like the idea of mini games nested within the main game!

Really really fun game, love the little minigames and the theme interpretation is super cool! I would totally play a longer version!

It is a crazy game. :D I enjoyed it. The length of it is perfect. The transition console screen that gives feedback, annoyed me. Consumes time. It would be better to make it shorter. This is a creative entry for sure.

Fun game, challenge mode takes some practice ...! the hand holding a hand made me laugh

really nice game, concept is interesting, and alsaw in web: perfect

Just the title attracted me. just hanging, Nice. Finish the Game, it's really fun.LOL. I think level 3 or 4 kicking the player didn't expected that but funny.

Very nice game. When I first played it, my I accidentally muted my sound, so I thought the there was no sound in the game and left 1 star for audio. Then I realized my sound was muted and replayed the game, and the sound of the light alone was enough to boost my rating way up. I really enjoyed all the mini games, especially the energetic music that plays. Overall great job.

This was really great! I like the small humorous bits, It had an interesting "story" progression. Visually and audio wise it was also really enjoyable. Well done on the entry!

Nice mini adventure with some good touches of humour ! thanks !

@wheybags Fixed the display bug, should look fine on a zoomed-in browser window now. Thanks for reporting!

@codeforjoycaro Time is precious in every jam. The list of things I cut contains individual soundtrack variations for every minigame, explicit indicators for what to do in every situation, a soundtrack for the "search" phases, an intro and outro comic and an additional piece of narrative after playing challenge mode for the first time.

@davidpeterworks I thought about making it a bit shorter; good to know it can be annoying as it is.

@holyperceval This is my statement about hand holding in video games :smiley:

@theaxe316 Thank you for giving it another shot ^^

And thank you all for playing!

I really enjoyed this. Great attention to detail with the audio, and typical Nocity humour in the interpretation of the theme. I enjoyed the challenge mode, as during the story mode there isn't quite the room for mastery of the individual minigames (although I did enjoy the discovery aspect of the story mode). The ramping up of the tempo and therefore intensity of the music during challenge mode was a great touch, and felt like it was enhancing my motivation to succeed. Nice work.

Nice! Reminded me of WarioWare. I like how you built a little story around those minigames. Good job!

Extremely polished aesthetic, already well refined loop I would love to see realised into a full, even more polished product!

Excellent humour, going for the apple first, hand holding hand and getting stuck in the loops over and over again made me smile the entire playthrough :smile: The visuals are really nice too, great game!

@nocity this can be a very interesting and arcade game for mobile. Publish to check that. It made me laugh :D

Fun set of mini games. The hand holding a hand cracked me up.

I liked the way the BGM accelerates in challenge mode as the timer shortens, lends a good sense of urgency (although I'm not sure why but I kept expecting to have less time than I did, I think due to something in the music)

Fun minigame rush. As other people said, the hand was really funny.
It was a really good idea to have this challenge mode unlocked after you beat the game.
Gives it replayability.

Excellent Entry! The game itself was fun and the addition of a challenge mode was a nice touch, well done!

Cool minigames in a very funny, nice looking and sounding package. funny interpretation of the theme too !

Please explain the hand holding a hand :D Other than that, very fun and humorus game. I had such fun! Great job!

This was super fun! I love the wario ware inspiration and the fact that you even implemented a wario ware mode! The animation is super sick too! Really well done! One of the best games I have played so far!

I had a fun time playing this game on stream! I love your animations and the minigame gameplay loop!

Very cool game, the story mode was funny and the arcade mode was a nice addition! I would like to see some more minigames as well in the future.

Wario ware vibes! super fun and enjoyable, sfx are great and makes the game feel more alive

Loved the artstyle and the whole Warioware vibe. I need more minigames for it!

Fun little game. It ended too soon tho. I was invested in it.

Found a fellow Godot user :v: Short and sweet. Gave me strong WarioWare vibes. Haven't got much to complain, really. Well done!

Hilarious game with simple, but addictive mechanics. Great job.

First time: Wait... did the arm stretch?
Second time: looooool payoff!

Man i loved the mini games! The knife one was hard but i apparently even beat you at the chellenge mode :up:
Great art!

Nice game with clever ideas. It's very original, I tested almost 40 games and it's the first with this idea. Graphics are cool and it's a nice experience. Good job !

Really fun Wario Ware style game with a bit of a story, great job!

Very fun and unique game! Love the little bits of humour you added too :laughing: Sound effects and art worked really well together - nice job!

This is great! sound fx are so cool also

Great little game with nice art! Rated 5! Great job!

Greetings from the stream! I love it! I like the kick to the butt as well as the second arm he is holding. It just cracks me up!

This is a really good combination of minigames in a coherent and very funny but also atmospheric package. The 'challenge mode' is a great bonus too.

This game was hilarious and you are extremely polite. Good job :D

Good game!! Challenge mode make it so fun

Interesting take on the theme, very literal :laughing: Good circus theme and cute gameboy transitions. I had fun playing it!
Some wishes:
- getting to the knife was unclear and took a long time? I kept clicking on the knife but my guy took forever to swing to it for some reason
- When the foot kicks the metal bar, shouldn't UI bar become green instead of red at the time you should click? That's the convention for those types of mini games, I thought

Other than that, it was a great experience. Good job!

Neat little game! I love the intermix between story and minigames, and the challenge mode was a great addition to provide more replayability. Art was pretty good, and the audio fit the retro gameplay perfectly. Would love to see this expanded on with more story and more minigames.

Excellent game, got my high score of 15! Great job with this one...really enjoyed it. Don't want to spoil it for anyone but awesome game!

This is a very good game and you should feel very pleased with yourself. The minigames could've been more dynamic looking but, I get it, it's a 3 day jam and you made like 9 different minigames or something, and they were all solid. And the actual theme and the story was really well implemented and compelling. Great game, genuinely. Good job.

I couldn't tell you why but seeing the arm holding the other arm cracks me up every time. I never knew what to expect with the next mini game. This was super fun to play, great job :)

Fun game to play. Wish there were more minigames to try and beat ;)

Your game was played on my stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos ) on 10/12. Thank you for sharing your game with us! You can find the timestamp of when your game was played here: https://tinyurl.com/yy4oycvv

This was a really funny game tbh XD. One of the few games where the humor score can actually be graded XD. I loved the monochrome pallete for the sections when the player was stuck. I felt that having the minigames be in more detailed colour palletes was kinda breaking the immersion. Still, the minigames were fun and the game was great overall. Really nice entry

Both fun and funny! I like the addition of a "challenge mode" after ending the normal game (my best score was 9)

You really nailed that Warioware feel! I loved that you managed to put your own spin on it by connecting the minigames to a bigger goal, with each minigame representing one of those tasks. And then spending the time to implement the challenge mode afterwards too, where every minigame still works sped up!

Had a lot of fun with this one, great job! :smile:

Hi, I played your game on my livestream today!

Congrats on your entry i really liked the humour of getting stuck and stuck each time. We had the same theme interpretation of being stuck in a loop like physically but our entry does not play with humour like yours.

[Thanks for submitting this to the stream over the weekend!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/780628065?t=00h22m47s)

I think it's no surprise that we had a lot of fun with this one. You really nailed that WarioWare aesthetic. Awesome job!!

Finally, a game that recreates the *Feel the Magic: XY/XX* (or *Project Rub* in EU & Australia) formula! I really like the narrative approach of the game, even if it's incredibly minimal. I'm actually shocked how quickly I was able to grasp the objective of both microgames, and the overall game itself, despite the lack of instructions. The transition from point-and-click searching gameplay elements, to the simple microgames, were a really nice touch. Pacing is excellent as well, not sticking to a single element for too long.

As mentioned in the stream, the point-and-click part was, I think, the weakest part of the game. While I think these portions are necessary to evenly pace the game as well as provide context to each microgame, I felt like there wasn't enough information to motivate me to click at the right spots. Furthermore, trying to interact beyond the intended locations yields no reactions, which I thought was a lost opportunity. These are pretty nitpicky stuff, though, in this tightly packaged gift.
