How does your game fit the theme?
As Steve Lacy once said - I pick my nose, it's a Bad Habit! Be the hero this world deserves, help a dude out by breaking his bad habit. (Habits are loops too) Game: You’re a "nosy" stranger on a train on a mission to help someone break their nose-picking habit. Your challenge? Stop them as many times as possible before the train stop, just 30 seconds away! Oh, and the dude also fakes it so don't be rude and stop him when he's NOT picking his nose.

simple game. it does seem the score you get is highly based on the rng (of whether or not you get faked). You also don't seem to lose points for being wrong. game could be quite interesting if there were different things you had to click based on what is happening. nice art style it definitely does the job it needs to
Thank you!
I can see how the rng aspect makes the game less "game". On a narrative level, one reason the high score aspect isn't the most important to me is that stopping someone from picking their nose was a humorous act, not a competitive one.
Although I do agree with your feedback, there can be more depth in the game for sure :)
very good art always impressive to see people do everything by themself! :)
Thank you so much!
This is a really unique concept! Tbh the artstyle reminds me of comic books so huge shoutout for that! playing this was funny and its a cool experience!
Thank you! I'm happy that you liked the art and the experience
A fun concept with really good art that pops out well!
The RNG nature is a bit of an issue because catching the guy isn't hard but you're at the whim of if he even picks his nose (what a sentence to type haha) so even on a 100% success run I only got 4 points because he kept faking me out haha.
I know describing games as 'WarioWare like' is a bit played out but genuinely this could be a micro-game in a WarioWare and it would totally fit in if you swapped the guy for Wario and threw in some crazy sounds!
Also fun abstraction of the 'loop' theme :D
Really good work!
Thank you, Timbo! I'm glad you enjoyed the art, and the faking it added a certain level of anticipation with humour.
I liked your idea of it being in the WarioWare 'verse, and yes, I plan to add more sounds!
Awesome! I'll be keeping an eye on your development in game dev from here on out! Keep at it! :D
Likewise! I'm wishing you the best, and may we play each other's future games soon
Ew! e-e-e-e-ew! Haha, that was funny. Well done!
Thank you! There were more sfx planned and a lot more funny elements, I shall add them and keep working on this if the game does well.
This game has a really cool art style! Really short a simple and goofy
Thank you!
ACtually enjoyed this for how short it was. I think more distractions longer time and leaderboard would have made this game a banger for this jam.
I think the mechanics really held this game back as it could have been so much more. funny game though.
Thank you! I had so much to make, but as a solo dev, I had to make some sacrifices.
I'm happy that you liked it, though.
General: Loop concept is unic. Art is great. Game mechanics are poor and there's no difficulty.
Mood: A silly game. Since is RNG based, there's no strategy. Game is made to contemplate the narrative concept of bad habit as a loop and that the player can help other's stop it. Indeed profound.
Constructive feedback, thank you for that! Yes, the game does lack depth, but you are right about the player can't stop part, I'm glad you picked up on that.
Funny and silly game
Thank you!
Quite the silly game, and I like how you took the theme
Something I noticed is that the opportunities to tell this man "ew" and get score is very RNG based, and while that does make chasing a high score hard, in theory you can have a game with not a single point opportunity and that would be extremely silly
Thank you!
I had different ideas and direction for the game, but sadly, the time left dictated most of the direction.
a great idea lol. Love tha artwork too!
Thank you!
Funny game, i wish we had some penalties for missing it or anything :3
Thank you !
There was an SFX that should have played, but it didn't due to a bug. There was going to be more feedback, but yes, you are right.
Very stylish and funny mini-game! Caught that picker 6 times
Thank you so much, and I'm glad you liked it. The best I've heard so far is 9 times.
NICE ART WOW! Huge congrats to you for hand drawing this, I love the mood that is created from the art and the subtle background fx. I really like how silly the game is, but I wish he did more ways to pick his nose (and also fake it). Great work here :)
Thank you so much!
I have a lot of ideas waiting to be developed. I hope I get to them soon.
High Score of 4. Nice art and simple gameplay.
Thank you!
Got a high score of 6, really great art, such a nice palette, and animation is nice too, I think it would be cool if you gained more time if you clicked as soon as possible so you could aim for higher scores, as of now it's quite hard to get a high score as it's luck based if he does fake outs over and over again. But a really cool short and simple game with a very creative take on "loop" as being a habit, awesome work!
Thank you so much for such a detailed comment/feedback, helps in plenty of ways!
Trust me, the ideas I have for this game weren't matching my development capabilities, but yes all great ideas and I would love to improve the game and work on them.
this game is really relatable. after a nose operation for turbinates iwas told that i had to clean my nose by flicking it, and that habbit perdured after the recovery. i don't if it was because of that or because either the recovery or the surgery went wrong, but ever since my nose has itched and i try not to touch it but sometimes i do it unconsioucly. The worst part is that that surgery didn't even solved my turbinates! such a disaster. IT WAS 2 YEARS AGOOO
I don't know which one of you went through that, but god damn sir! I hope you find peace in fingering or not fingering your nose and praying for a full recovery.
The power of games is truly magnificent. Uncle Ben would have loved this comment (RIP, gone too soon)
This is incredible. I laughed when it first launched and then I legitimately got pulled into the game play. As someone that's struggled with bad repetitive habits myself I found the story sweet and meaningful despite its silliness. Beautiful art too. Well done!
Thank you so much! I'm glad we could connect on something so silly.
Very funny game nc
Thank you!
Nice way of thinking about the theme. I could only stop the dude for three times :D
Thank you so much! I have managed to stop him 4 times, but one of my friends got 9.
