duck wireless being what you say when you select a duck image is a really interesting note to hit, door game also has a lot of complexity going for it (for me it was a crossover between hal and calico cut pants dot com, a halico cut pants venture if you will)

Wow, had a great time with this! Cleared with 250 points. I'm a sucker for Warioware-like microgames, and this had lots of entertainment in such a small package. The duck wireless game probably gave me the most trouble because I kept hitting it on the heron or whatever that other bird was lol

I also really liked the detail of the desk continuously getting cluttered with references. Amazing entry all around!

Really fun and fast paced game! I think this game probably feels the most WarioWare out of the other microgame games in the jam. I really enjoyed the references and felt that all the games were really well balanced to be possible on higher speeds while still being challenging in general. Solid work!

Cool wario ware like game

Cool collection of microgames with a good variety of game styles! Really loved how the table started getting filled with items the more I played.  Favorite game has to be the Duck Wireless one, made me yell in agony when I thought a stork was a duck.... well played

So much fun, all the minigames are really well thought out and the references in each one are so fun! Really great artwork, love the mix of styles and 2D/3D. It's chaotic in the best way possible.

Very good, the Bob Ross game's screen shake was definitely a highlight. I also liked how the table got more stuff themed around the games.

Really cute page and presentation – the whole UI/UX feels very polished and readable. I liked the fast “micro-game” flow, even if I failed a bunch of them.

The sound effects and screen transitions give everything a nice punchy impact, and the title fits the vibe perfectly.
The only weird thing on WebGL is the Quit button – it actually just kills the whole browser page, which is funny but a bit harsh for a web build, maybe it could be hidden or changed there.
Overall, very charming jam game, I had a good time with it!

Very good game! I think if you made a version 2.0 after ratings it would be even better. But still very good!

the musical accompaniment is very good, I liked it. but for some reason, the keyboard mini-game didn't work.

Developer

Thanks! Worth asking, but were you trying to spell the word forward or backwards? Could probably be more obvious it's the latter if that's the issue
