Love the game, the punching mini game was a bit unfair with the punch detection, but otherwise, loved the game in general!

Either the jump rope game is really hard, or I'm just really bad lol! Love the art, and the cutscene at the beginning

absolutely love the art. It's so  cute and bright. It was so funny watching the lizard try to hide from the human doing pushups. I thought it was a bit odd that most things interact with e but then the jump in the jump rope game is space. Also, since we don't use the mouse in the game, I wish it were easier to press E or space or something instead of pressing on buttons. It works in some scenarios but not all. That said, it's really cute and I love the opening cinematic. Great work!

Really cute art + idea! I just wish the punching felt more responsive. If the delay was to prevent spam clicking maybe charging up a punch could be good? 

In any case, this was a ton of work and it turned out great!

Hahaha I like your take on the theme! Manage to beat it and I'm proud of that! Great music, funny story and cool art.

That was very cute, the illustration works very well at setting the tone for the game. Thanks for the controls cheatsheet on every minigame screen. You just really quickly get what the objective of the game is, with not much explanation because everything fits and works well together.

Really fun! Love the art style and just the idea in general! Loop is a bit harsh ngl but I think the idea and follow through really make it work!

Submitted(+2)

Very cute style! And its very hard! Wish some of the patterns were a bit less random and unpredictable

Submitted(+2)
