Really cool! Everything is very cohesive and seeing the process in the discord server made it more interesting

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot!

Saw the progress being made in Discord, the game did not fail to deliver! It’s a nice little minigame collection! Sadly I could not finish it due to RSI but I advise every to try it out! Nice spins! (failed on the second “again” part every time sadly)

Banger track and looks!

Developer

Thanks so much Achie! I sympathise with the RSI as I struggle with it too. The best advice I can give in this case is this: try taking a different approach or trying something unexpected 😉

Took me a few rounds to realise I could move the bg down. I had a feeling something was off as it was taking too long on that level. 

Pushing player to think beyond routine just like last game. Great art, audio, and execution.

Also glad you were able to complete developing the game.

Developer

Wonderful! Congratulations on finishing the game 🏆

It is fun trying to see who spotted that they were playing a puzzle game and not an action game. I love seeing people figure it out and for anyone who didn't recognise the clues, that's totally on me because I didn't want it to be too easy :D

Lovely game with amazing art and mood.

Developer

Thanks!

Very fun and very smart concept! Using the players intuition against them so they themselves make the game harder than it actually is

Developer

Thanks!

Hey is too hard for me aswell :), besides two crashes in the "perch more" level(maybe is the browser im using) its very polished I like how you used the background color to represent the remaining time, good job !

Developer(+1)

Hey! Thanks for the bug report! Someone else had a crash in that level so they might be related. Which browser/OS are you using? (For anyone reading this, I would recommend playing the downloadable version for general performance improvement).

Small hint: the title is objectively true. This game is literally impossible (unless you think laterally).

Submitted(+1)

Im using Opera as browser and Windows as OS.

Developer(+1)

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on this. My suspicion is on the audio.

Submitted(+1)

The graphics style looks very good! Simple and fun to play, well done!

Developer

Thanks Proyd!

Absolutely great game! Well done here. Reallly polished, presentation amazing and the quick games are perfect for such a jam. 

Developer

Thanks a lot scostasr!

Submitted(+1)

This game is fantastic! Very fun, hard but challenging enough, and I beat it, so well done :P

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it!

Games like this stress me out a bit. It seems Too Hard to me. During the perch again level it crashed on one of my play throughs.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the issue report!

It's OK if the game is not for you. It does put pressure on you with the short time limit and the seemingly massive tasks it presents.

But, if you made it as far as the Perch Again level, then you have the ability to complete the game. If you want to reveal the game's secrets without the stress of the timer, take a look at Ron's stream of the game here (warning for everyone else: massive spoilers) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1995588235

I absolutely love this! The mechanics are not only intuitive, but clever enough to hold secrets that feel fair. The art and music are super charming too :)

That said, I regret to inform you that the title is inaccurate, since I managed to beat the game

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! I passed on your comments to the crying technicians.

Submitted(+1)

This is hilarious and, of course, too hard. Nice work! (Also the art is awesome.)

Developer

Thanks a lot Bill!

Submitted(+1)

My source have informed me that this game is in fact too hard! I will continue to try to unravel its secrets because it is incredibly fun to play with super charming presentation

Developer(+1)

I believe you can do it!

Submitted(+1)

very cool WarioWare style game! it is indeed too hard for me :)

Developer(+1)

Perfect! Just be careful not accidentally discover it's secrets

Submitted(+1)

Adorable, super cute, and I love the gimmicks. The music is amazing too! Lovely little thing. (Don't tell the technicians that I beat the game!!)

Developer

Thanks Ferociousfiend :D
