Can't rate it since I haven't submitted yet but I LOVE this game. (played to the end).

Love the dialog and the little dance before each mini-game starts. Nice work!

My score: 111.

Not sure if I'm a good monster or me so bad :P

This was obviously Warioware inspired but the graphics, sounds, and overall presentation was really well done. The monster is really cute and the minigames are good minigames. Well done!

Always surprised at your talent at picking up any style and making it appealing. I'm in love with the monster cutscene.

Great art! Cool music and sounds and awesome and adorable take on the theme. It felt very polished although some of the mini games could have been explained better. Overall, very nice entry!

I knew I was going to give this 5 stars for sound within the first 5 seconds. I found this game amazing everything just feels right from the drawing style to the sound to the games. Loads of fun and I hope this game rates really well!

This was pretty original. Nice music too, and many subgames in it.

Wario-Ware-like minigame-mania? Count me in!
Nailed it in every category and that transition-scene is pure gold!

Very fun. The firsts game is a bit buggy, in both the sense that that was a pun and in that the finger doesn't always squish like it should.

This was the most fun game I played so far from this ludum dare :D
Absolutely wonderful! ^^

Very nice WarioWare-inspired game. The art fits the goofiness of the setup really nicely. Just wish the bug squashing game was a little easier! >_< Great job still!

I love warioware, and I love this. More games!

Thank you!
The trick in the squashing game is to aim with the mouse, not the finger..

Great "Wario Ware" entry!
The minigames are good. The monster is very "cute" and funny. The difficulty curve is excellent.
Good job! :D

I can't handle how good this is. It brought me so much joy. I died laughing at the first dancing cutscene ;) Each minigame is super fun. You put together such a cohesive package in all areas of the game. Perfect score from me.

On another note, it was great looking at how you used Playground.js. I learned a lot from your code and some new tricks (both from you and from how to utilize Playground.js). Can't believe how little code was written for this. Nice work!

Thanks! Hah, I don't think you can learn good things from my code.. I just try to keep it simple, going straight to the point. KISS philosophy plus some bad coding practices :D

27. Aug 2015 · 20:53 UTC
Haha this is adorable! I could not for the life of me squash those bugs though, it felt like the finger should've hit a wider area, and the puzzles were not at all conductive to this gameplay style. Ended up with 91... It was a lot of fun though, nice work!

27. Aug 2015 · 22:04 UTC
Greatest humor I've seen so far ! Audio is great, I definitely love your artstyle and it was tons of fun to play. The transition animation made me laugh everytime. One of my favourite solo games this LD. So many 5's ;D

Fun and really impressive level of polish. I also considered doing a wario ware-like game at one point, but knew I couldn't produce enough content in 48h >_< I'm really impressed!

One of the best games I played in this LD. If you release a mobile version with a timer indicator in each mini-game tell me so I can download it!

Well I'm certainly not the first person to say that this is like WarioWare, haha. As much as I enjoyed this collection of minigames, I feel like they were lacking in two key areas relative to something that you might find in other rapid-fire minigame collections.
1)WarioWare games have clearly defined and easily visible timers which make the end-point of a minigame easy to predict. In this game, the ending of a minigame feels kind of abrupt and unexpected.
2)WarioWare minigames are generally all-or-nothing. You either complete a minigame or you don't. You're told, in no uncertain terms, whether you did well or not. These minigames have kind of victory gradients which feel less satisfying. If I smash three bugs on the first minigame, should I feel good about that? Was I expected to smash that many? Was I expected to perform better than that? It's difficult to tell, which leads to a less rewarding experience overall.
I hope I don't sound overly negative towards your game - I actually really enjoyed it. The presentation is wonderful and charming, and really helps make this a fun and memorable game.
🎤 feiss
08. Sep 2015 · 13:26 UTC
Wow!! Thanks, your tips are very good, and I agree with you. The timer would be very easy to add, I just didn't think of it. The difficult curve is done in minutes, procedurally, and not very good at all, it would need to be adjusted. Also, the binary result (pass or no pass) or at least a much more clear scoring system would definitively help. Now it's quite obscure.

Thanks a lot! :)
