Chuck objects at the light switch to turn off the POWER and finally get some sleep~~~

I don't know how I did it, but I hit it with the very first item on the very first try. It was a balloon. I have not been able to recreate it.
OMG congratz! I've been waiting to hand this out, be proud of yourself <3
OMG T.T
I'd like to thank everyone at your organization for this honor. This is a dream come true to have my own trophy.
This one is going to have to win the coveted Funny Award, I think.
eventually fell asleep with lights on bc I suck
me when i get too cozy... GREAT WORK!
I don't want to go to bed!!
Light's off go to sleep, mister >:(
NO! lol too many toys on my bed to go to sleep.
I have to say I found my way to finish it with constantly pressing right button :D Nice idea, I liked it :)
Valid solution, the rules don't say you HAVE to throw things
I'm a terrible dog owner.
10/10
with the balloon first try wasn't even looking my monitor was off the whole time btw ez
AND it was your little brother playing
i wasnt even trying so rip again
This was one of the goofier games I've played so far and it was really enjoyable. I thought the balloons were basically useless but then I accidentally chained a hit with a tennis ball to turn off the light. I can see the potential for expansion into a full game and maybe spinoffs. Great work!
It's so stupid I love it
simple but a lot of fun. i was struggling to get that switch!
You ever throw 400 dogs at a light switch? if not then you should play throwing things at the light switch simulator.
Corgi into a balloon combo ftw. Nighty night!
I legit have never emotionally related to a game more than this. I was there. I was in that bed throwing legit everything at the light switch. The game exceeds metaphors. I wasn't playing as the main character. The main character WAS ME. Cute af game lol, loved your use of the theme.
<3 I'm so glad I could whisk you away to this fantasy, even if just for a moment
only right way to play is is to start at 3 am and only allow yourself to sleep ones you beat it
quite fun chucking things at the light switch and failing for an embarrassing amount of time. but the balloon is the goat and randomly turned off the light for me as i was preparing my terrible tennis ball throw. thank you balloon!
fun concept, it reminds me of trouble in terrorist town bc i would often grief people by whipping shit at max velocity and sniping people with like a bowling ball or something. i actually think i'd love to see a minigolf version of this, maybe with a stupid story attached. won't ding the game for how horrible the noises are bc that was intentional, but i'm glad u got this out for the jam with what time you had!
If there's anything I want you to remember my game for, it's the sweet serenade of a dozen balloons getting rubbed against each other.
It is what it says on the can.
I like that you can mash right mouse button to spawn infinite objects and it makes horrible sounds.
I'm begging these balloons to help me turn off the light but they refuse
I've come back on my knees crying to say I got the light turned off
from a balloon
hitting the switch
from it vaulting directly up to the switch after I blasted it by accident with a teddy bear.
Balloon MVP
A beautiful character arc, you are officially reinvited to my birthday party
