The puppets are amazing! They stand out and look so good! I like to dance along with Joy when his meter fills. :D

Help stop The Sadness Monster from spreading sadness by spreading joy! Dance in front of a boombox to charge up your Joy Meter. When your Joy Meter is fully charged activate your Joy Ability by pressing E or Shift. Run past as many villagers as you can to make them happy! You only have 10 seconds before you need to charge your Joy Meter again. Try to make everyone happy before the countdown ends. (Hint: Is there someone else besides the villagers you can make happy?)

Extra Notes
All of the characters in this game are puppets that I built out of fabric, foam, ping pong balls, and lots of sewing! Everything was shot on a greenscreen, and turned into sprites. (A lot like how the original Mortal Kombat was made, but this is with puppets!
