Ranked from 20 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
If you have implemented the modifier, how have you done so?
I tried to make the sound effects as annoying as possible without making them loud or extremely repetitive.
Any additional information for voters?
I tried to make this game with the intention of making it feel like a genuine game that was built terribly, similar to a low budget game, or a game that had potential that went to waste.

Interesting game! I quite liked the different minigame options, and there were some quite interesting ones! I tried all 6 variants but didn't get much further than that 😅
Tbh it does indeed have the vibe of those early-2000s shovelware games that I'd find on DVD at my local charity shop. Very much an authentic experience!
Thanks for taking part in the jam!
Some minigames were very difficult, but the part that bothered me was the fact that I had to go back to the initial menu all the time. Maybe change some points regarding this. Overall, I liked the implementation and the fact that it has several levels
First things first - I’d suggest marking the downloadable version as being for Windows/Linux/Mac, so it’ll actually be downloadable via the itch.io desktop app.
But, to be brutally honest, I genuinely didn’t enjoy this game. The title screen hurt like hell to look at, so I found myself actively dreading having to put up with it. The trial and error needed for the jump/match modes wasn’t facilitated by losing booting me back to the (very painful) title screen before having a second attempt - and I ultimately just threw in the towel and used snipping tool to get me past that match level, but I was strongly considering giving up on the game right there. I would also suggest making the instructions for the level in question viewable within the level itself.
I eventually gave up on the game entirely after level 8, as I simply couldn’t deal with any more eyestrain from that godforsaken main menu background, and I was starting to resent my time spent with this game.
I can see that there was some genuine effort put into this game - but ultimately, the game was just a rather bad experience.
Thank you so much for the comment. When the game jam is completely over, I plan to release a special update that fixes many issues that turn this game into a more enjoyable experience. Sorry for the rough time though. I guess the "so bad it's good" name doesn't hold up for you, lol.
Cool game!
some of these are extremely annoying (which i assume is the point) but this is an awesome submission
Thanks!
Awesome, really challenging but really fun! :) Love the style
Some minigames are ultra annoying, but it's fun to deal with them. It's literally so bad it's good
Very wide variety of minigames! My eyes and brain hurt
