Love the graphics!! The mini games themselves are simple yet varied, some are harder than others to get first try but that's to be expected for this sort of fast paced mini game collection. I think a lot of people would enjoy a more fleshed out and polished full game version of this, I know I would.

This is fun! Got 16 as best. Did not get the ending unfortunately. Would like to keep playing, but the contrasting colors are a bit much for me after 5 minutes. Kind of gives me a headache. Minigames are solid. EAT was a bit hard to understand at first without seeing the lanes. It was also the hardest for me. Voiceover is amazing! Did not understand what it had to do with the theme. Love the sound when you shoot :)

The funniest I played so far of the submissions, some challenges are harder than I expected them to be.

Fun game! So far one of the funnier entries I've seen. The mystery made me just keep playing lol. The voice clips were really fun too, fit the aesthetic of the game perfectly.

SPOILER:
I got to the secret ending, one of the hiding spots was very clever! is the game supposed to exit automatically after the dialogue? I was playing it on wine (windows emulator on linux), I think it closed right after the voice said "resist"

@sharploaded Thank you for the kind words. The ending tries to tie it together, which is probably not the best plan considered how well it is hidden. I was afraid the colors might be a bit much for some, but it was the fastest way I thougth of to make something splashier looking with my artistic talents.

@streq SPOILER: Good job on getting there! After the line, there should be one screamy sound effect after which the game indeed closes itself, so you didn't miss much!

Always love wario r games always find it a very terrible to do it in game jam because it's usually undoable, but you did it congrats! I have a bit of trouble finding the link with the theme, but the game is great anyway!

Fun game, nice "flash minigame" aesthetic. Sadly, couldnt find the way to get the ending, but I got like 16 hiscore in 5 tries) Also, geniunely giggled at "Pah! - Ding!" sound in shooting minigame, voice acting is really good)

It's very hard for the first time but it's very fun for the second.

I really apreciate it!

Congrats!

Why is "EAT" so hard? I couldn't even eat one apple, so when I finally got it I was surprised to see 4+ more. :joy:

A fun simple little game. I enjoyed the voice acting and humor!

@justine-olshan I think the scaling on eat was broken until the literal last 15 minutes, so once I realized that I didn't have much time to test the actual numbers. It's the one that definitely should've had more tuning.

Well, this was an experience! I found the secret ending and I was expecting some kind of jumpscare haha
I love how the game goes from *don't gp further* to *WIGGLE!!!* haha, it makes the game somehow feel posessed ^^

I had a blast playing this! The theme was a bit hard to find, until the end. Very clever!

@wouter52 There was supposed to be a small jumpscare, but I had the bool check wrong so the application closes before the sound can finish playing. You didn't miss much though, and good job on getting to the end!

Quite fun game! However, the background colors are very uncomfortable sometimes

Very WarioWare! The background colors almost gave me seizures and the music could have been a little more intense 😅 I enjoyed the wackiness of it and the cute drawings. Just the "Eat" minigame was too hard, and the zoom-in/zoom-out was on the verge of headache inducing on top of the gaudy colors. Managed to get a high-score in the double digits but not I need to rest my eyes for a bit. Very fun!!![2023-01-25 20_23_59-Solvate Rush.png](///raw/648/1/z/56c97.png)

@bezbiletnym @philstrahl Thanks for the feedback! The background and the colors were a time efficient risk that I took because of my limited skillset. I know some wouldn't like them, but I'm sorry to hear if it veered into actual discomfort for you. And yes, "eat" slipped through the cracks, since the difficulty scaling didn't work unbeknownst to me for most of the developmemt.
