I played this game for a long time. Sometimes online high score tables in jam games really just get me. Each little game felt good to play and felt different from the last - it's really easy to just end up making 4 games that either aren't fun to play at all, or all feel the same. I had some trouble with being only able to play toilet-roll-hoops once per playthrough. I got quite interested in gamesmanship aspects of the minigames:
These small balance(?) issues(?) aren't really marks against the game though, rather succulent morsels for me to discover. Bottom line though, I really enjoyed this game.
[x/p from thread] There's some impressive things here including an online scoreboard (though I think one was wrong lol) and I liked that boxing had some movement to it. It could use a bit more freedom or play as many of the games are a bit static (swimming, for instance, could've used some mix-ups). Oh, and sound, I thought the banality of normal life could work but objects needed to feel more poppy.
Such a fun game and great use of the theme. Loved exploring the house and seeing what new activity I could find. Did notice the carpet highlighted but couldn't actually see that you could do anything with it.
My favourite activity was the swimming but did have fun playing them all. Impressed at how polished you made each one feel and also all the little touches with the screen computer and outside the window, added some nice humour to it all.
I loved this. What a little gem. All of the events were solid. Sound was great. Liked that you could adjust the mouse sensitivity. Really funny Easter eggs everywhere. Loved the nut outside the door (and other little details like the DVD screensaver etc). Boxing was my favorite (although I sucked at it). The swimming was cool and actually found myself breathing in sync with my space bar rhythm "strokes". Thanks for making this it was great!!!
