Did you use any publicly available assets? (List the type of assets used.)
Many of the sound effects were outsourced from Pixabay, and that one explosion gif is from Deltarune. Everything else is me :D

Developer

Submitted

I'm gonna say nothing. This is a masterpiece, straight up!

Developer (1 edit)

Wow! Thanks so much, glad you liked it! :D

Submitted

Love the idea and mechanics. Overall good game :) Maybe fewer flies. Had hard time catching them :D

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! The flies were mostly there as a way to switch up the gameplay of "wiggle around the man's body part," but I might have put them in there a few too many times.

Submitted

why :sob: :sob:

Developer

because funny. thanks for playing!

Submitted

This was a very silly but super fun game. Loved the word play on the title! Although dumb question but why the flies? Just wondering lore-wise how that's related to aging or mostly, how'd you come up with the idea? haha

Developer

I'm gonna be honest, the flies don't really have any lore significance, at least they weren't created with the lore in mind (I guess they could be seen as foreshadowing that the man is going to die soon). Mostly, I just wanted a mini-game that could break up the somewhat basic mechanic of "wiggle the man's body parts," and flies that moved around the screen was the best idea I could think of. Thanks for playing, tho! Glad you enjoyed it

as a man about to leave his 20's the final level really made me think about my life and what kind of legacy I want to leave behind. 

I mean, what is there to say? This game rules and it's the best 3 minutes I've spent gaming during the jam. Super fun, super engaging, and really wacky.

I recorded my gameplay and if you wanna see me contemplate the meaning of life while tugging on a mans face please reach out on discord! 

Developer(+1)

Never too early to start thinking about that legacy...  I'll be reaching out on discord soon probably, I wanna see that gameplay :D Thanks so much for playing, and for the kind review!

This was unhinged xD good job

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it :O

Submitted

Very goofy, very fun! I like how each of the things on the man's face felt very satisfying to pull on and manipulate. Cheers from a fellow Man Age!

Developer

I really tried to ham it up with the juice this game jam, so I'm glad you liked that aspect. Thanks for playing! Us Man Aging games have gotta stick together :D .

As soon as I noticed it was wario ware style, you had me sold lol good stuff. I laughed hard that it went from 20's to death. As a person in my 30's it made me feel old haha

Developer(+1)

haha glad I made you feel old, this was my goal from the start. Thanks for playing, always good to see another wario-ware enjoyer!

Submitted

Short but incredibly fun and well-presented. I liked how basically every action felt like it had weight to it. (Why were there so many flies, though?)

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed the juicyness of the actions, because I spent a lot of time on that! (The flies are there purely for dramatic effect..)

Submitted

Loved the wario ware style gameplay (there really are 4 games about the man age) 

Developer

Us man aging games have to stick together! Thanks for playing and rating!
