In our game you have all of it.\r\nPlay as a father trying to entertain children in a bunch of minigames.\r\n\r\nWe couldn't finish on time everything we planned (like sound, polish and balance) but if you enjoy the effect of our efforts, follow us on twitter (@justthestudio), because we're going to deliver post-jam, well-polished version.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nUse mouse for every action. Goal of each minigame is shown in top-left corner during few first seconds.\r\n\r\nUPDATE:\r\nThanks for very positive feedback! We started making post-jam version. We will focus on your suggestions - polishing both mechanics and difficulty of minigames, speeding everything up in Wario-Ware feel and most important - adding sound effects. We also have few minigames which didn't make it to the entry. Finally, I added WebGL build to the compo page.","title":"Birthday Monster"}
