Loved the art style and colors you used! The game is really challenging, it was hard to see the character in the square while trying to keep the other commands going. Very good game overall.

Developer

Really fun art, balancing all the QTEs can be challenging but I like that it is represented with a literal balancing act

Developer

Thanks ;)

Perfect art style! The only thing I could criticize is that the gameplay isn´t matched with the rythm of the music, wich would make it a proper rythm game. Aside from that, It was pretty fun! 

Developer

Would be so cool to have it match to the rhythm for sure, thanks for your feedback!

Developer

Ohh, if only I had another day of programming time I would have loved to implement rhythm. Maybe next time ;) Thanks for taking the time to play and review!

You all brought a children's book to life for your game jam? This looks incredible! Well done.

I never got past the spinning plates section. The game was a bit too difficult for me to be able to manage things outside my periphery. I think the rate that the borders slowed down as they got close to the timing made it difficult to time them correctly unless you're looking directly at it. Also, the description mentions lights showing how well you're doing, but I wasn't able to see any lights showing the status. I just sorta... failed every time around the same time. 

I think the readability of the icons could be improved. Unless you're staring directly at them, they blend into the background. More contrast would help players take in more information outside their immediate focus and make it easier to see what they actually have to respond to. I felt I could do each task individually, but I was doing the other effectively blind. 

Overall, really cool game, great execution and presentation. Great job team!

Thank youuu :3 Definitely could improve on the UI in the next round, happy you enjoyed it!

Really cool concept, great visuals and fiting music. I like how it become exponentianaly harder as you have more and more objects (just like in a real world), but after while it becomes so so hard. But players are not trying to finish the game, but get highest score, so therefore it is good that the game is harder and harder (it was just too hard right when I got to the plate, so maybe it would benefit slower increase of difficulty).

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!!

This was so good! The animation! the art! the music! they work together to make a super cute game! I just had problems understanding how to get the ball to be correct, I did rotate it, but I didn't understand how to rotate it correctly. but still! I had fun and enjoyed it even though I didn't get too far.

Great job!

(also it would be cool if you could check out my game too :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/rate/1176871 )

The art style of this game was amazing, it's a perfect blend of fun and chaotic! Adding more items in while trying to focus on the spinning and clicking is absolute chaos! Great game idea! The music had the circus vibe. UI's and instructions were extremely clean. Very polished game

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm happy you like it!

As someone who is learning to type without looking at my keyboard this was really nice :)

I absolutely love the art style, it feels super cozy. That combined with the music just put a huge grin on my face. I couldn't help but giggle the whole time I was playing. It was a bit hard to multitask but that added to the chaos. If anything I would have put the UI elements closer. Despite that I really liked the game 10/10 I'm book marking this page for sure.

Wow you share so many kind words T_T thank you so much ! I'm really happy you like it, and thank you again for your feedback!

I love the art style so much. At first, I thought it was very easy but it became challenging juggling multiple things at once. Very chaotic! Good job to the team!

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Developer

This was a delightful and well polished experience. I am beyond impressed with how great playing this feels and, well, I found it to be extremely chaotic.

Developer

That makes me very happy to hear! Glad you enjoyed the experience!

The art and music are very charming; I really like this game's presentation. The gameplay also gets very chaotic as more elements are added. Very polished for a game made in a week.

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you find the art charming! Definitely gets more and more chaotic :3

Good theme and art! I would really love to see the character drop off the ball when you lose, just for the fun. Great job!

Developer

Thank youu! Haha yes, that would be so cute !

Submitted(+1)

wow the circus is a chaos , good choice for the theme. 

I'm having a problem where when I press the letter keys, nothing happens. I push the key several times when a white square appears around a letter on the screen, but nothing happens and it says miss.

Developer(+1)

Ah, that's weird! I'm not able to reproduce the key presses not working ... is it possible the game window became unfocused? 

Submitted(+1)

its was probably that, i tried again this time and it worked. Your game is really fun bro.
