Well that's super neat! Love the way it wraps up the core elements in a cohesive package, as it takes a lot of focus away from how you're mostly just mashing spacebar. The mechanics of choosing the direction to turn are probably my favourite part, as it both breaks up the action nicely and it's just clever. Art is great (so great that I might want to pick your brains on it), and the music is quite fitting (though I did have to turn my volume down by half). I would suggest maybe an epilepsy warning might be worthwhile, as there were definitely some flashing images.
Thanks for playing it and many more thanks for the great feedback! I'm so happy the noosing direction monogame made sense to you. That was the one I felt would be the most confusing. I didn't plan that monogame to break the pace but it serves that purpose indeed, thanks for pointing it out, as that will help me when devising the other mini games I want to add.
Also good advice on the epilepsy warning. I'd hate for someone to get hurt because of my game...
I will admit it took more than one attempt to understand what the game was asking of me and a few seconds to figure out how I was supposed to select the direction, but once it clicked it felt pretty obvious. If that's the most confusing part of the game, that's pretty good going!
Absolutely loving this. I almost made it to the end on my first run but the speed increase beat me at the last moment. It's incredible that you managed to capture the feeling of wario-ware style minigame actions but you also tied it to a single theme and loose story. You also gave great pace and tension which gets the heart pumping a little harder. This is perfect for a jam game. I would really like to see an extended version with some more minigame types added to give it more variety and I would love to see the story develop. Top marks.
Thanks a lot for the kind words and detailed review, as usual! It is indeed one of my goals to flesh out the minigame count and then turn this into a mobile game.

I love the running-down-the-hall, the mini games, the artwork. Awesome game!
Thank you very much for taking the time to play the game! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
