This is a game that takes a couple tries to wrap your head around, but once you get it, it's really enjoyable. Some of the mini games are a bit difficult to understand at first, but it definitely comes into its own once you take the time to learn them. A bit more of a tutorial or a more forgiving onboarding process might've helped, but for only 72 hours, this is awesome! Nice work!

Liked the minigames! Had to try a couple of times for most to understand, but then it becomes fun to try and keep up as the intensity ramps up!
The broken screen noise was very loud though, ouch x)
Super fun! The pace of the game and art gave me vibes from McPixel which I absolutely love :)
I've managed to get to the boss but failed there unfortunately, also got destroyed by the cats every time!
We also made a couple of minigames for our entry, if you want to check it out!
a bit confusing at start as I don't know what to do yet but not a big problem after replaying a few times. Could be useful it there was at least a second head up time to prepare for the next game.
Couldn't figure out the game with mouse. cats always got me :(
If it helps you should read the screenshots. Also with the mouse game, you should probably put the mouse at the top. then when the wall disappears, you run down as much as possible to get the cheese back to your house.
Yeah i wish i did a better job of explaining the micro games better. I think i was just so focused on completing the game that my tired head couldn't think of anything lol. thanks for the response.
I love the minigame concept. The level I could not beat was the mouse/cheese one. What the heck lol
Great game! It also reminded me a lot of "Dumb ways to die", very fun learning how to beat each mini game faster each time. Good job!
My best score: 16
Gameplay: 4
I love the dumb ways to die minigame style:) I just felt the rat minigame was way too difficult, i won once out of like 15 tries
Theme: 5
Minigames are nicely themed around escaping + youre stuck in an elevator lol
Aesthetics: 4
Nice original art, its just a bit all over the place, sometimes we are looking at a high res photo, sometimes the pixel art sizes are inconsistent
Sound: 5
The music is good for a jam game, the voice acting is a nice touch!
Overall a very good and interesting submission, keep up the good work both of you:)
Thank you so much, Yeah I wish i made the pixel art more consistent, If this was a 4 day jam, thing would probably be different haha. I couldn't debate on the sizes for the pixel art. Also what do you mean high res photos? you mean the vector art? The idea was that the different art styles were meant to replicate the wario ware games for their varied art style. I wanted to have more different unique art but i didnt have enough time, although thx to lemonz for his amazing pixel art. Thank you for the reply.
I love the minigames esp the mouse one and the sfx are neat! Great game!
It feels exactly like Wario Ware so it's great! I love the flies minigame, it's a little break after the other ones xd
Cool minigames, i struggle a little in the start but after understanding all the minigames it felt really good to play for longer.
Nice work!
In the beginning I lost almost all my lives trying to understand what to do (my bad i guess), but than I got it. Super Cool.
It's chaotic. And fun! It's like Warioware meets Undertale.

That's the content!
Love your interpretation of the theme, hate mouse and cats (in a good way though XD). Definitely can see how streamers will literally break the monitor.
P.S. I saw that cheeky maze too
