My Stan is a dog Stan 10/10
lol, awesome!
Great job on the game, loved the weird goody aspects and hidden mechanics. Would love to say i used them to win but I just got lucky.
Reminded me of squid game. Feels like it is deeper than I realize.
I did manage to win eventually, but I can't feel too good about shooting a dog to do it. :(
I found out about the heart power naturally by just clicking around, but the other one I would have missed if not for the hint on the game page. (And if there are more than those two, I didn't find them.)
This is a really neat and unique idea (if we were all as inventive as you are, maybe Stan wouldn't have fractured reality while doing his job!) Some of the transitions are especially fun, like randomly turning into soup. Can soup win a round? I saw dogs win rounds so I hope that soup can win too.
It's not always clear whether a Stan is still in the running or 'out' of the round. It's obvious that a standing Stan is in a better position than a lying down Stan, but those lying or sitting Stans can get up at any time. And being a dog is fine! Unless it's a sleeping or "sleeping" dog. So a bit more clarity on what counts as a good or bad state would be nice. I was mashing the heart icon every time I had it, until I confirmed it only activates on my Stan being truly dead.
You always give awesome feedback!! I felt more clarity was needed too, but you articulated it perfectly. You’re right that there needs to be some visual feedback to indicate which state each Stan is in.
You didn’t miss anything, those two are the only power-options I’ve created so far. As for the ramen, it can’t win since a bowl of ramen can’t be referred to as Stan.
I thought my game would be one where people just try a couple of rounds, think “Oh, this is quite silly,” and move on to the next game. It didn’t occur to me that some people would be so adamant about winning, even going so far as shooting a dog! :P
I did what I had to do! 💥🔫
Close guess on the number of submissions (only about 2000 off!). Kidding!
Liked the humor on this. The visuals, feel and music at the "story" intro made me look forward to the start of the game. Didn't manage to guess a single round correctly. Too heartbroken after the attempt my stan became a dog... and then DIED.
Interesting concept if there were ways to work in mechanics. Can see it working well with say.. a list of clues about which stan is the final one, to guide the guesses (e.g. this stan has fear of head trauma --> helmet stan).
Thanks for playing! Every turn is random, so the winner is not predetermined when a game starts. There are some elements on screen that can improve your odds of winnning.
But I made a Vampire Survivor clone... Haha.
Great job finishing your game.
I liked how the buildings were floating in the background and how some of the Stans turned into dogs and bowls of Ramen.
haha, nothing wrong with vampire survivor clone. Maybe just not playing them near an 8G tower.
Fun little game managed to guess the right guy once at least. Good job on the theme you nailed it!
Got the Stan, it took me couple of tries to figure it out. Loved the aesthetics.
Awesome game. There is a deep hidden meta to uncover. So much potential!
Thank you for playing!
I got the last Stan! (On the second try, after shotgunning a dude lol.) Really like the unabashed goofiness of this game. I know lack of control is part of the design, but I did find myself wishing for a bit more of it. Maybe a few more external elements that I could use to influence the game (were there more than the gun and the walking heart doll in the background?), or like a visible countdown for the number of rounds remaining to build a little sense of anticipation. Or, you know, not. It was fun and simple and unexpected. It's an accomplishment!
Third times the charm, I picked the right Stan! (He got back up).
I enjoyed the silliness and simplicity of your game. Big fan of the strange background, the floating houses, wizard, thing that walked by the window... created a fun and wacky vibe.
Haha, gave me a good laugh! I guess I wish you could move on to the next round if your Stan dies right away, though I get that some of them seem to recuperate or turn into dogs to stand back up XD
Nice work! :)
I really thought about having a retry button, but the player won’t get to see which Stan would be the last Stan standing. I understand how it can be boring… I am still trying to figure out a better way to deal with that.
Also, there are some things that may help. (Click here for spoiler)
Clicking on the bunny will give to the option to revive your Stan. Clicking on the shotgun gives you one free shot on any standing Stan. The bunny and shotgun may not be there in every game.Took me a bit to understand what was going on but enjoyed seeing the chaos of each round hahaha - thanks for makin this!
My stan turned into a dog and died. This game made me laugh, interesting use of the theme too, I like it!
I am glad someone at least had a chuckle out of this. :D
Liked this concept ALOT! I also enjoyed the shotgun.... Nice interpretation on the theme too
Really nice theme. Love the overall impression... but I definitely can't get how to pick the right Stan! :)
Thanks for playing! It’s really random, was just hoping people would have a chuckle.

You can get the extra actions by clicking on the shot gun or the bunny, though they may not be there in every game.
Poor Stan! Cute game
I liked the slight variants on the Stans.
And who doesn't like a good multi verse story :)
This is such a charming game with a super unique concept! It was so cute, I loved it
hypnotic game , love it
