This game was such a delight to play, really great humor and fun mechanics too! The puzzles are fun and the voice acting really adds a lot to the game, great work!

I need you to know I heard 'Barbie Girl' in the background music, and I appreciated it so very much. Holy cow that was impressive! It seemed like you all had a lot of fun recording and writing the dialogue, and it really shines through. There were so many fun references and jokes (especially to the band Aqua), it was a joy to play through! One of my favorite parts was where the villain starts monologuing, so one of your characters can't do anything, and whenever you switch back to that scene, the monologue is STILL happening like it's just been going the whole time. Such a nice touch! The art and mechanics were so spot-on 90's point-and-click it's like I went back in time to play this game.
I liked the puzzles and solutions too, but I did have a little trouble understanding what to do some times. Mainly, I didn't realize I could combine items in the inventory together until I had been stuck for a little while. I also didn't realize I could pick things up at first, because most of the first interactions just had the 'look' option, so I would do that and then move on before doubling back.
I can't believe you wrote and recorded an entire song just for the end credits. You're maniacs! That you did this in under 10 days is insane. Appreciate that you released the entire soundtrack (!!!) as well. Really fantastic job!
Hahaha amazing adventure! Love playing monkey's island type games. The comedy was on point too
great game i think this game will win the jam i don’t know why but it;s cool!
THIS WAS SO COOL!!!, i cant imagine how much effort was put into this, the puzzles were clever and overall great game!!!
Wow there's a lot here, and full voice acting as well impressive you made this so quickly - I really liked the adventure!
5/5 It was great! Loved all the Lucas Arts references :)
It's amazing that you guys got all of this done in a week's time with full voice acting too! Filled to the brim with references and everything. The puzzle did take me awhile to get.
Wow! This is a 5/5, absolutely amazing. Vibe, art, story (and voice acting) and Puzzle all combined well and crafted an amazing experience. I got all the meta references and loved the puns as well.
Keep ducking doing this!
Nice callback to Lucasarts adventure games. Loved the humour and characters. That controller joke at the end got me real good.
so vibrant and colorful, makes me think abit of pizza tower maybe?
or kinda old monkey island
characters are relatable and this is so lovely
very good take on the theme btw
