VERDICT📝

This game had a lot of creativity that I truly appreciated. The art and opening video, though simple, really sold the concept. The last line, “a filthy smile crossed your lips,” genuinely made me laugh—loved it. The music was another highlight, perfectly fitting the circus theme. Even after hours of grinding agility, it never got old. I was impressed by the attention to detail throughout the game. For example, the inclusion of the scene where you pick fleas off the dog really expanded the world, making the game feel larger than it actually was. The fact that the fleas were named Barney and Felicity added a charming touch.

The core gameplay loop shows a lot of promise, reminiscent of the Duck Life games I used to enjoy on Kongregate. If the game included more stats that influenced the shows you put on, it would elevate the experience even further. However, I felt that the theme “Built to Scale” was a bit of a stretch. Just because something is small doesn’t necessarily mean it’s built to scale. Despite that, I think this game has a lot of potential, and I would love to see the concept further developed and polished.

The game lacks a few features to add some challenge, but I love the idea and everything that is there is really polished, well done !

Very funny small game!

I really liked the humor and style of the game, and the jump rope minigame was very fun to play too!

"A smirk crossed your filthy lips" is probably one of my new favorite video game lines I've ever read. This was such a fun game idea and you added so much life to the little fleas with the drawings

I like the core gameplay loop, would be fun to see it expanded on!

Really cute concept and the art is great. Gameplay could do with some sort of progression but it works great for a game jam.

Animations and art simply are amazing. You're very talented and I really appreciate the effort you've clearly put into this game. Only negative I have is that I can't stop itching now haha. Congrats

Fun idea, and I like the hand-drawn style. I got 66 on the agility game lol

I could see that idea being expanded on. The game looks really nice and the minigame is fun too :)

The art style is really fresh!
It's easy to see where the game could go with more time, making the show playable and so!
And also, I learned about the Comico font and it's already downloading!

Love the art and the concept is very cute. A bit more gameplay and it would be very fun

Loved the idea and presentation of the circus. Even with just the one minigame I found myself chasing the agility stats screen. With some more minigames, introduction of more fleas and some progression you could easily see how the concept could scale into a full title

Really quirky game, fun music, but more stuff to do for the user would be nice

The game was fun and I absolutely love the theme. My stats are:
- +33 agility high score
- $-230 dollars because i don't feed the fleas 😭
My feedback was maybe add some mechanics on the performance part, so we actually doing something on the show. Also it's a bit of a stretch from the jam's theme. But overall, it's a fun game!

I Really love the artstyle

omg we were also talking about doing a flea circus game on a dog! very cute n quirky game w a great art style! really well done! 

Such a great game! I love the humor!

I absolutely ADORE the idea and the style, it's such a tongue-in-cheek concept and so well executed with the hand-drawn art, it ties it together perectly. I am already excited about those features you were planning on adding later on. Great work!
