Really hilarious, and impressive tech! My only hiccups while playing were it took me a few tries to realize you could attack enemies with left-click, and a couple times I lost without realizing what I did wrong. Great job!

Nice and funny entry! Really liked the ability to slap the mice (the sound is so satisfying). The final boss was unexpected :) I wish there was more!

Great idea, really original. I had trouble getting past the rats but that's probably me being ham fisted. Your zooms and narrative were very well done.

A fun idea and deeply relatable.

Loved the wacky sense of humour. Lots of juice, disturbing audio and a funny art. Did have some trouble getting the arm to do what I wanted, perhaps the drag arm section mechanic could be improved. Overall a great entry :)

@lancescaterpie This was a really unique game! Novel concept and well excecuted. The conversations between hand and elbow were pretty hilarious, too. That alarm sound is super triggering for me (probably most of us), but the way you incorporated it into the music was super clever as well. Overall nice entry!!

I've seen a lot of games about not falling asleep or not waking up in this jam, but this one is by far the funniest ! Really fun idea and great execution, the physics is really fun ! The attack mechanic lacks a bit of precision, which makes large levels really hard, but it's still really fun to play

I love the love put into this!

Great take on the theme and a fresh gameplay.

Minor detail but it would be cool to skip the dialog instantly when retrying levels.

This should have more plays.

Nice work!

I had some minor problems controlling the stretchy arm, but it's still really fun to play.

I tried slapping the mice in earlier levels a few times and for some reason instantly woke up doing so. For that reason it took me a long time to realize that you were actually supposed do that in later levels instead of just tricking and avoiding them.

But yeah, I like the stuff you do, and this game was a enjoyable experience.

Keep on jamming!

The perfect idea that goes with this theme, currently this is the game that fits the theme the most for all the theme games I tested so far :heart:
I loved the funny story with the cool protagonists, especially the final boss. It goes along very well with the innovative gameplay. Really loved this entry.
I now want more levels !

Fun take on the "snooze" idea, it quickly gets reaaaally hard though, a bit frustrating

This was so funny! A great idea. I loved the music and how you timed it with the alarm. Funny dialogue, too, with the body parts! My only suggestion would be to skip the dialogue when a level repeats.
