My head does not look like a giant thumb and Clyde is a big meanie for taking it like the fingers :(
I love how Clyde moves around the room, despite the design being just a clown the poses and him moving around the room really gives him character
It was really tense for the first few rounds until I started to lose fingers no matter what I did, while I was fine with the scripted losses I think if there was some timer rather than the game ending on it's own for a while, it would up the stakes by a lot. You could lose fingers on minigames you could totally win that way but I think that would add to the experience, everyone would end at a different point and maybe you would get some unique dialogue depending on when the game ended too?
Very charming!
