I'm happy I took the last hour to clown around and find out. the ending was hilarious

Developer

Clowning around and finding out is the best thing you can do.

I'm glad you commented your game on YouTube! Very unique art style and I enjoyed the first "aha" moment where the guard let me in. Well made, congrats 👏

Hey, thanks for checking out the game! I didn’t even expect anyone on the chat to see it! I’m glad you enjoyed.

Submitted(+2)

Fun play on the theme. The style & music are great, I like the little gags like the banana slip and the walk animation is fun (though the walk feels a tad too slow for my liking). Also, that's a really clever way to do a tutorial, with the keys disappearing.

Developer

Thank you so much! I do agree that walking feels a bit slow but unfortunately we didn’t have time to get the feel exactly right. Glad you liked the tutorial!

Hey, I saw you on dc! This is such a well-made and beautiful game! I really loved the art style, and the music is so good that I could play the game over and over again just to listen to it, haha. Amazing work,  congratulations!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the interest in the game! Thank you so much! I will let our musician, Eribetra, know you liked the music and he will probably reply with a long prose.

Submitted(+1)

Awww, thank you so much! I’m really looking forward to hearing what Eribetra says!

Submitted(+2)

Very interesting story, love the music too. Is there an ending? I get stuck after unlock the code door and turn on the TV.

Developer

there is an ending! you must unlock the door to the basement, or rather find who will give you the key ^^

I love the variety of characters such as Matsune Hiku, (not to be confused with Hatsune Miku). I enjoyed it a lot!

Developer (1 edit)

Matsune Miku is NOT Hatsune Hiku… Wait…

Submitted(+1)

That was a very cool and well done game! I especially loved the dialogue from each character (especially juice man) and how they change depending on who you control. It's a very interesting idea and I love how it was implemented! Great work!

Developer

Thank you!! We will definitely check out your game as well!!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool game, music, and art! I didn’t quite figure out what to do (that’s probably just me), but they’ve definitely got an interesting party going on over there)

Not sure if it’s supposed to be like that, but right click didn’t do anything for me, I was so hoping to possess the cat)

Developer

That’s weird! Right clicking was supposed to let you possess other characters (yes, including the cat). We will look into it, which device were you playing on?

Submitted(+1)

I played the web version on a MacBook, using a mouse. I restarted the game several times from the beginning just to make sure it wasn’t a random glitch. I walk up to a character, talk to them, and then right-click. I see a little shake effect and hear a sound, but nothing else happens visually. I’m still controlling the clown.

Developer

Does holding right click work?

Submitted(+1)

Ooh yesss, it worked! I need to hold right click, but I was just clicking it. Thank you so much for helping me figure it out! Time to go possess the cat)

I LOVE JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a cute game :D

Funny and very well polished!

I like it a lot, Well done :D

Developer

THANK YOU!!!!!! WE LOVE JUICE!!!!!!!

Cute game!  That creepy clown definitely doesn't belong in that party tho

Developer(+1)

He definitely doesn’t.

Submitted(+1)

Delightful and charming.

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

Very polished game. Really enjoyed the writing too! 

Developer

Thank you!!

Having puzzles that require interacting with people/things from different perspectives is a really neat Idea. I really like how clean the UI is and you're tutorial was just enough to get going but still allowing the player to explore the mechanics of the game on their own.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!!!!! We really wanted the player to explore everywhere!

Submitted(+1)

a really sweet mechanic :) the characters, music and gameplay were all very charming, i had a swell time! only bug i encountered was with the food, it kept disappearing and spawning on the floor

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We are happy you found it all charming! Thanks for the bug report, too! That’s something we didn’t find while play testing…

Funny movement animation and cool visual style

Developer

Thanks so much! We are glad you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

Game is simply awesome! Music is great (I could even listen to it daily :D). Graphics has a lot of charm, animations are simple yet effective! Gameplay is nice, there are no bugs and its fluent. Great job and keep it up! One of the best games I have played so far in the jam! :)

Developer

Thank you so much!!!! We are so glad you enjoyed and that you didn’t find any bugs! Thanks for playing!!

Submitted(+1)

Really excellent take on the theme, loved puzzling my way through it!
Art and Music is a standout, fun easter eggs too.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!!! The whole team appreciates it! We all loved your game!

Submitted(+2)

Really funny game! I really liked the idea, at some point I wasn't sure what I needed to do, that said I definitely found the game to be very charming.

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback!! Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted(+2)

Really fun game, I love your interpretation of the theme! I also enjoyed the artwork and writing. At a certain point I couldn't figure out what to do, but that may have been a problem with me rather than with the game. Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot!! Figuring out where the player had to go and do was the hardest part, but we were able to figure it out in the end. I’m glad you liked the artwork and the writing! Thanks for the feedback!
