I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with "Mark" that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.
Wow, this is so cool!! Very creative. I love the skeleton lol
Funky stuff, loved how it was random ppls 9-5 and loved the little jokes and pieces of commentary u sprinkled in
One of the best games I've tried so far! Creative, irreverent and full of surprises.
Great job!
This was very funny. I was very confused about what was happening in general but it's so creative with all the different things it does. Great game!
Why is this game so underrated I loved it. The overlying humour, I miss my skeleton buddy, I loved it man. The change of genre. Truly smooth sailing experience. :D. would appreciate an effort if you could look into my game too.
Super cool game! I liked the various minigames you sprinkled throughout and the humorous bits. Why didn't the skeleton show up to the party .o. I liked the bouncy animations and how he was less so when he was a sad manager. The mini details that changed per loop also added to the experience, like the sad portrait that showed up in some scenes. Very fun.
OMG!! I almost pissed myself from laughing! It's so original and well done!! Done in 4 days? How?! Dam My mind was blown at the end... inception level... wow... 5 stars all categories
Had soooo many laughs while playing this, a very very original and clever design, thank you
This is definitely one of the best i've played so far, and it's genuinely impressive that you made so much within the time limit
One of the best entries I’ve played. I’m not sure what was going on, but it was really well done, from the art to the sound design and the minigames. Also I love the character’s bouncy walk. 5/5, great job :D
Did you know the elevator? Well I do now! Honestly this felt like such a fever dream, but in a good way. From the flappy bird gameplay to the fnaf poster (was that the bite of 87?), it was all amazingly well done! I'm surprised with how many loops you were able to add in and there was also something added in that made it fresh. It never felt repetitive and I think a very strong factor was the humor and little details of the game as well. The ending was also a nice touch! Great work!
I would have kept playing for hours upon hours of this simple loop just to see how you brought in different elements. Well done!
After finishing the game i wanted more ! Everything was good, specially the humor
This is a contender for my favorite game of the jam. Love the humor and the evolution to platformer. I laughed out loud at the hacking scene. It's just like the movies. Also that theme song is so g r o o v y.
Amazing job.
This is amazingly fun to play. Had a few genuine laughs and kept wanting to see what would be different the next day. Great Job!
50% surreal, 50% silly, and 100% charming. You can really feel the love the dev has put into this game through the sheer amount of art, and every level leaves you curious for more. Probably the best entry in terms of narrative in the jam!
Haha, that game is great! Reminds me at "Thank goodness you're here" in pixelart. It hits my humor in exactly the right spots. :D One of the best games I tried from this jam!! Congrats!
So many different mechanics! Wish my day job was that varied.
