Nice work and excellent use of the theme - making sure players know how to deliver a joke!
The style and vibe of the game are spot on. But the best part, aside of the dad's jokes, are the sound effects and music!
The tutorial with your voice is perfect.
Really strong game, I am amazed :smiley:
Anyway, here's 45 minutes of me reading these in a single play-through. Good lord.

I think I ran out of questions...
Very nice. Very polished and everything fits well. There are some typos but I'll overlook that. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Voice-over was really well done. Good job
I did wish the puns came quicker or there was some timer. It was a little easy to choose the right pun.
What do you call fellow devs who enjoyed That's So Punny during this game jam?
Jelly ;)
I actually had an idea at one point to do a stand up comedian 'delivering' jokes...but wasn't exactly sure how to pull it off. Was something about choosing different punchlines to get the audience to laugh the most etc.

But I love this execution! It's a lot of fun, and a part I liked is seeing how nonsensical some of the other answers are. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
If you wanted to add some additional depth, you could potentially have some scoring system, so rather than right or wrong answers, it's more least funniest to most? So then people could compare scores based on how funny their answers are? idk. it was just an idea that came to mind.
I love this as it is. But how may jokes did you have to enter??? That's impressive.
