Definitely one of the best of this jam. Great use of both AI and of the theme.

Developer

Thank you so much!! :D

That son of a cheater! Takes player vs computer litterally. Just a tad annoying when he disables your controller and steals your points!

Developer

lol xD

Overall great game. I liked the computer's attitude, nice comic touch there. One thing is it could be nice to make it take less long for the computer to start breaking rules 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!!  And agreed!  And will add that in the next update! :D

Really love this, the art is sweet, the gameplay is easy to tap in, the idea is really clever, and I totally love how the blocks bounce whenever a projectile hits it. I could see how this would be a bigger concept in the future with quick 1v1 multiplayer matches, a few more maps, and how this could be a offline / tutorial mode. I really like the aestatic it all brings. High rating for you!

Developer(+1)

Interesting ideas! and thank you so much!! :D

11/10. Beat them by 30 points (85 to 55)

Edit: I think you should make a sequel where you can cheat too!

I loved this! This is so good! If the dialogues were more unique or told a story it would be even better. But still 5/5.

Developer

I wanted to do more with the dialogue but was running out of jam time xD and thank you!! :D

This is the good stuff jajaja i really love your game, i had a lot of fun trying to beat wendell jajjajaja so funny

Developer

Thank you!! xD

Really fun game! It was interesting seeing all the different ways Wendell tries to cheat, and reacting to each of them and outsmarting him felt really nice. My only complaint is the thing where periodically it just takes you down by a few dozen points for no reason, as it takes away your entire lead and there's just nothing you can do to react to it. Went from 25 points ahead to just 8 in like 3 games :'( . Maybe make it happen more rarely and be less penalizing? Still, 10/10 for the fun time!

Developer

Oh crap!  That really isn't supposed to happen!  I have restrictions to keep him from draining too many points but apparently there's a bug in there I missed ...that or Wendell is learning how to cheat better than he's supposed to :o  -anyway thank you so much!! :D

Fun game! I love the design both in sound and art. That computer is a sneaky one!

Developer

Thank you so much! And lol yes Wendell does not play fair xD

Submitted(+1)

This is really really fantastic. So original, the art style and colour palette fit well, I love the details like the rain outside the window. The AI breaks the rules in really interesting ways, and the actual gameplay is really fun and satisfying too. Great sound effects. You hinted that something happens when you're 30 points ahead of the AI but it was taking too long to get there so I might have missed the 'end game', I guess that would be my only complaint. Amazing work!

Developer

Ha I understand -you didn't miss much as far as an end game -Wendell just gets mad and quits playing and sits there and lets you hit him.  Would have loved to balance it more but was running out of jam time.  Anyway, thank you so much! :D

Very good game. I love it. My only problem is that it gets old really fast. I don't think I have the patience to beat Wendell by more than 30 points. Although I think that was kind of the point.

I would have liked it if there was an option to unplug him. 

Developer

Thank you and lmfao you are correct -also I love that idea! I wanted to do more with the start bar in the game -maybe i will at a shutdown/power off option after the jam xD

Submitted(+1)

This is a really great game, the breaking the rules theme is nicely used. And the gameply was super fun and statisfying!!!!

Developer

Thank you so much!! :D

A great game, with it being fun to see how the bot would cheat

Developer

Thank you!! :D

Submitted(+1)

This game was really fun! I liked the graphics, sound, animations, and the actual gameplay itself. The bot was a perfect difficulty. The way it cheated was creative and there were so many ways it did it. It was slightly annoying that the bot kept resetting the score every time I got near winning, but the game was still fun even though I didn't win. Great game!

Developer

Yeah that can get annoying when the random seed has that happening more than a couple times -sorry about that! I was running out of jam time to polish his AI but I plan to update after the jam to further reduce the odds of him taking points.  Anyway, thank you so much!! :D

I really liked the computer. There were a few glitches that I couldn't figure out - on web at least. At some point I lost the ability to move, and it stayed like that for the rest of the game. Another one I couldn't use the mouse to shoot, I'm assuming that I was supposed to use space instead, but that input was caught by the browser instead. Even so, I still played to 40-ish points. Quite charming!

Developer

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do when Wendell takes away your movement or mouse to shoot -you just gotta let him win that round -because he's a cheater like that. xD  Anyway 40 points against him is pretty good! Also thank you! :D

An amazing entry! I played until I was at 60-47. The computer had drained my score like three times but I was still having fun. I was impressed by the amount of glitches the computer could throw at the player. Even for as long as I played, I was still getting new ones. My personal favorite was either the error messages or the music. I loved all of the small touches in the game, the computer's face was always priceless and the responses to prompts were golden. If you wanted to improve, giving the player some way to cheat back could be cool and could make the computer even more mad or something. 

Easily one of my favorite games of the jam so far!

Developer(+1)

 oof Wendell can be a bit unpredictable xD  Also, I thought about trying something like that but wasn't sure of a good approach and was running out of jam time and thank you so much!! :D

Loved it.. LOLd when he didn't even wait for the count...  fun!

Developer

xD thanks!

Very creative game. I liked the personality of the little cheating computer. Would have been fun if you could cheat too by smacking the computer around a little. Good job.
