They recommended that I feed him a couple pieces of white bread, which could encase the hand to help it pass easier.\n\nSo not only did my dog make a mess and eat my Labubu, but somehow he gets a treat out of it. And to add insult to injury, he is allergic to wheat and that manifests in noxious, stinky farts. To make matters worse - we were also about to get in the car for a 3-hour car ride together.\n\nSo as I was driving down in a cloud of toxic gas, fueled by bread and demonic doll hands, I decided that the best way to process my grief would be to make a game about Labubus. My husband requested a rhythm game (which is not my forte) and I found the song LABUBU REGGEATON, which sealed the deal. The result was the cursed game \"Lafufu Collector\" (Lafufu = fake Labubu - a nod to my deceased companion). If you play the game and see a Labubu with only 1 hand, that's a tribute to the one my dog destroyed.\n\n\nGame link: https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/58\/lafufu-collector\n\nHere is the victim, whose body has since been donated to science:\n![RIPSSC.png](\/\/\/raw\/57a\/56\/z\/6f8f7.png)","comments":0,"created":"2025-10-23T15:35:48Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":423316,"love":5,"love-timestamp":"2025-10-24T07:15:46Z","meta":[],"modified":"2025-10-24T07:15:46Z","name":"My silly game's backstory","node-timestamp":"2025-10-23T16:12:24Z","parent":417918,"parents":[1,5,9,415614,417918],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/58\/lafufu-collector\/my-silly-games-backstory","published":"2025-10-23T16:11:50Z","scope":"public","slug":"my-silly-games-backstory","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":1341451},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"423316","n_urlkey":"429680","n_parent":"417918","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/58\/lafufu-collector\/my-silly-games-backstory","n_slug":"my-silly-games-backstory","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"416373","n_created":"1761233748","n_modified":"1761290146","n_version":"1341451","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/58\/lafufu-collector\/my-silly-games-backstory","text":"First of all - I'm rating games all day today, so please drop a link if you'd like me to play yours!\n\nLabubus can be divisive.
