Loved the minigames! would like to see more being added.

The music and graphics are very well done. I'm just missing some audio feedback. great game overall!

Hey!

Our games have the same titles, so i had to play that one!

I really like the sound of the game and the graphics were also really nice for that type of game. Understanding the fan game was a bit hard but i got it. Overall good job to you guys!

Keep it up!

Neat idea for a mini-game collection! Not really sure if something was wrong in the version I played but there was basically no way to lose the burglar/piano mini-game, the piano was on the floor and even if I didn't touch it, it stopped the burglars from reaching the sleeping character. The other 2 mini-games worked well and were fun, so good job! As a mini-game collection it is quite lacking and the randomness of the mini-games might need some tweaking since I only played the burglar and light mode mini-game for probably 5-10 times before I got the fan mini-game and even after that it showed up quite rarely. A good idea might be to just put all the mini-games in a list, randomly choose a mini-game from that list and then remove it from the list so that every time you are guaranteed a new game, and once the list is empty fill it with all the mini-games again. This way, at most, you will get the same game repeated twice but you can also add a check for that so that you never get the same game right after you play it (I think you probably already even have a check like that if I'm not mistaken).

Well done for submitting and hopefully now that you have a basis you can add more mini-games more easily if you feel like working on this project again :)

I had a hard time understanding the fan minigame (and I still don't understand it to be honest), the other minigames are easy enough, the music and the graphics give it a good baseline to work off from, but it needs more minigames, and a tutorial.

Fans appear on the upper left platform, its a bit small but you can probably at least see the fans as they are spinning. You have to pick them up and drop them on the lower platform marked delivery. The game finishes after you stack 7 of them on top of the lower platform. 


We are planning on expanding on the concept and adding some more minigames in the future and I might edit the sprites for the fan platforms to have them stand out a bit from the background.

Love the chaotic nature of the game, kinda confuse at first but slowly get the hang of it after couple of minutes into the game.

I'm glad to see other gamedev that are into the wario-ware genre. It's short but it's already a good basis to build upon for creating a more extensive game. Keep up the good work :)

Really enjoy it but the download part kinda limited the potential of the game

Thanks! unfortunately we didn't have enough time to create a web build of our game
