Wow this is cool!

Really nice range of games! Some things are a bit unclear as far as instructions go, but after playing enough I imagine it's easy to pick up :)

Fun distraction. Would have liked it if the games didn't repeat in a single run until I'd played them all, but that only a small gripe.

Nice, good replayability until you get all the games right.

I agree, randomly go thru all the games before repeating.

I agree with Gamelabbers, I couldn't stop until I'd beaten all the different game types. It was really cool to try and figure out how best to beat all of them, like the one where you're supposed to shoot the ship. The first two times I just sat there and took a shot after a second, it was the easiest thing to do but when it came around a third time I was holding the movement buttons and then realized just how hard that level is if you move anywhere or miss that first shot :)

Cool game!
Feels a lot like wario ware :)
For the eating-game multi directional control would have been helpful!
The timelimits are hard, but challenging. Besides that, the audio and graphics are really nice.

yeah same crit here, shouldn't have to play a game you've already one. But man, that was really fun!!

Oh! Did I play about 1sec in each game? :) That's pretty fast, but not enjoyable, though.

Sometimes it's a bit unclear what to do in the minigame, but overall, yeah, good one :)

Awesome game. I like the fast paced factor. Feels nice and actiony. About your question in regards to my game, I might expand on it. Maybe if people request it.

Pretty fun, lot of variety, also great graphics! The theme seems a bit shoehorned in though and I would also like to not be able to get the same game multiple times after each other.

Even if it is simple, it is very addicting. I couldn't get past 13 but I noticed how the difficulty increased like in wario ware so well done in only 72 hours.

I like it though maybe just a bit more time in each mini game would be nice.

The variety of gameplays and graphics was fun.
I'm not sure to understand the game with the flag.

Cool little diversion. Some had more "quirks" than others, but ultimately it was enjoyable.

Thank you so much everyone that played! It's great to get all this feedback. Wario Ware is one of my all time favorite games so when I got the idea for this I decided it had to be done.

I was very rusty at coding, I hadn't coded anything in AS3 for about a month. One of three days I went without sleeping to fix one of the many bugs I was getting during the early stages. I'm really glad the game came out as well as it did and am even more pleased that so many of you like it!

I'll definitely have to figure out an easier way to convey how to play some of the challenges. I'm so used to older games where you die until you figure things out, but that's really not gonna cut it, is it?

Again thanks for all the support!

Warioware definitely comes to mind. Fast paced. I got the same game repeated 2 times, several times, maybe need a tweak to the random sequencer. Good job overall! I liked it.

Omg my first full star for this LD. Yep, I'm giving it 5 stars everywhere, for real. The screenshot really doesn't do it justice, this is awesome. Even better than Wario, it's geeky and nerdy and full of references and I love it <3

Great warioware. Loved the story of borrowing games you added.

Great game, liked it. Fun to play.
Would be nice, if all games had at least two set ups.

Pretty cool concept, but i didn't get that i was playing until the first gameover :p. Nice work

18. Dec 2013 · 09:49 UTC
Great job! I am still not sure how to beat some of the games, like the break one. I beat it once and failed it every other time, plus sometimes it has spikes!? What? I don't know. :D

But chock full of great references and the art is fantastic, good job!

Oh, also, the music. It still is playing in the background, great job on that :D

Great sprites. I enjoyed it but somehow got the music playing double. Won't rate you for the music cause it's not yours

Pretty cool! Reminds me of that game jam in which everyone made a room that contributed to one bigger (linear) game... Forget what it was called... I think it happened in Canada... Also, obvious connections to Warioware -- a good game.
Some of the mini games I didn't understand at first (for example personally I would have titled "Break?" as "Wait" or something, as I stupidly tried to break the box above my head (unless that was intentional)), but yeah.
Oh also I naturally prefer X over space, so I immediately realised that X doesn't exactly work.
Loved the music, could have done with some SFX. Otherwise this was pretty well presented. Good job!

I didn't understand a couple of the games, but rest were quite fun. I enjoyed the variety.

Fun and challenging! You did a good job balancing the pace and leaving room for the player to improve their skills on multiple tries.

That was a good time. Almost feels like it would have fit the LD27 theme better (10 sec). well done!

One word: Gameception.

Good job on creating so many different games with so many different styles and some of them were pretty fun.

Good idea (though of course it has been done before), and pretty fun collection of (very) mini games. Liked the soundtrack, though it didn't totally fit with the graphical style? First time I played I got 13.
yosh
20. Dec 2013 · 07:58 UTC
This is Wario Ware hehe :D
I really like these kind of games. Maybe the game could benefit from randomly generated patterns to avoid seeing the same thing over and over.
Otherwise it's a pretty good job... congrats!

great fun - could keep playing this for ages. like the different visual styles of the mini games - impressive in the time limit of the jam. great that the controls were so simple. music was also good, fast paced and manic. well done!

Could use some more challenge. Absolutely no relation to the theme, but nevermind that if it helped you finish a game. It's like I'd heard that track somewhere before, though.

Scarily we had a similar idea before ending up with our plane idea, awesome that someone made it happen! The only gripe I had with it was that the music was pretty loud and didn't overly fit well, audio is often a last priority but it'd be cool for each game to have it's own unique simple music.

Good collection of mini games. I think I figured out how to play each, but got only to 35. One thing I don't like is, that not only the game type is repeated, but the level design is only slightly altered sometimes. It would be nice, if the levels were randomly generated. And some sound effects would be nice.

I think this was a lot of work to do! Anyway, I like such games and it's always fun to figure something out with time pressure.
