This game was hilarious! It felt a little difficult to do some of the mini games, and I was really excited to see the raptors, but they never came sadly. Also I loved the walk animation feels like me on a monday morning. Nice game!

Interesting game! I had fun playing the different mini games all around the map!

I liked the claymation-esque 3d graphics a lot, and the funny bits were, well, funny! I think the timer was a bit too long -- I ran out of stuff to do at the end and was just running around aimlessly. I think if it started at 30 seconds but there was something you could do quickly to raise it by 30 seconds, that would feel a bit more frantic and fast-paced?

I can always appreciate when people go 3D for jam games - it is not easy in this short time frame.

It took me a moment to understand what was going on. The mini games were fun. I never got to see the raptors so maybe that is something you could improve (timers, difficulty etc.).

Overall, great game and I liked the art style. It brings me some nostalgic memories from old games.

I loved the humor of this game. I wish there were a way to redo minigames I messed up on. Also I agree with the person above the walk animation was dang good.

I've probably played 20 jam games in the past day, and this is my favorite, but I can't articulate why. There's just something about the weird running animation, the way people give you tasks and the music that has not been quantized and thus feels kinda off that makes this feel a bit like the open-world part of No More Heroes.

The minigames were fun. I enjoyed beating up the kids. The dog minigame took a while to figure out, though, but I got it on my third try, so I managed to get to heaven.

As some other commenters have pointed out, the timer is a bit long (unless you have failed a mission and have to read the weird text)

It was fun to play! As absurd as the game might look like I had a ton of fun getting beated by three kids while reading the tutorial, get run over by a car while trying to help an old lady and lost a dog. Love the erratical metric of the music melody and the voices with ton of reverb XD

Weird game! The animation was pretty funny and there's a charm to the bizarre half-finished looking cars. Interesting idea to combine a bunch of minigames together like that. :)

It's great you managed to implement several minigames into the game. That is both the strength and the weakness of the game, I imagine it must be hard to balance how much work goes into each one. Respect for the effort I had fun playing.

Nice graphics and could story ideas! I like that you can walk though cars but not through trees :)

What the heck did I just play?! Probably the weirdest game I played so far for this jam, there's a really funny tone and it was a nice challenge to make several minigames.

Graphics are crusty as hell but in sort of a good way, and so is the entire game in fact. Tho I'll say the minigames are way too hard and so my playthrough was basically just a 5 min timer going down to zero. Some instructions or a small 'tutorial' at the start would have been nice as well.
