This is an interesting collection of minigames. While there's some fun to be had here, I can't help but feel you may have spread your efforts too thin across too many ideas for one jam: there's no "oomph" to any of the games, and I think just a little bit of player feedback (sheep baaing when you fail the sheep game, demolition sounds when a house comes down, the patter of paws while the wolf runs, etc.) would have carried it a lot. That feedback loop to the player is so important and impactful.
That being said, just getting this many mechanics working with art in such a limited time is impressive, and I did have fun playing each of the games. Least favorite was dressing the wolf; I didn't feel like there was enough time to accurately select the articles of clothing once I was on the screen to do so. Perhaps instead of clicking on the clothing, then clicking on the color, there should have just been a column of colors for each piece of clothing. That way I don't have to jump back and forth between the two sides of the screen.
Overall honestly a refreshing break from most jam entries that are based on narration and dialogue. I enjoyed having a frenetic moment of gameplay in all of it. Well done, and thanks for giving us a game to play!

Thanks for the feedback. I couldn't agree more with what you said about the game lacking "oomph". I completely forgot about SFX until the last day of the jam when I tried to add them and then realized I didn't know what I was doing. I am currently in the process of figuring out how to improve the feel of my games by making super simple games and polishing them as much as I can. if you have any resources to share on this subject, they would be appreciated.
In the grandma mini-game, you don't have to click on each item of clothing and then the color. Instead, you need to choose the correct color from the row on the right side of the screen that corresponds to the item's order.
This comment is exactly what I was waiting for. You brought up problems with the game that I hadn't thought about and confirmed some of my suspicions about other issues.
Thank you for taking the time to write this comment.
