This game is extremely interesting! The graphics and fell of game go great together. At first I was confused about the ammo, but then I understood. Great concept for the theme and a wonderful new idea. (I like the fact that your vision is restricted to only one thing at a time.)

Loving those Wario Ware vibes! Takes me back! Really clever blend of the genres in each minigame, very creative. The audio and art were all excellent too! Great work, guys!

It takes perhaps to long to get into the "real" game, but it was genius

What a spooky game! I used all of my bullets before I knew what to use them for. The game definitely had the wario ware and five nights at freddy's feel. The minigames were neat but didn't really incorporate the theme. Great work for a jam though.

This is a weird game. I'm impress with all the mechanics you implement for the jam. The graphics are very good, and the music did the job. Great work, congrats.

Wow! Took some getting used to some of the mini-games but once I did this was a lot of fun! Getting into the zombie shooter segment felt like an accomplishment and also terrifying. O_O The art, music and mood were all pretty much flawless, reminding me strongly of classic Wario.
Excellent job, guys!

Holy shit I am bad at these minigames. I love this game! The graphics are really detailed, the music and sound effects are perfect, and the gameplay is frantic. My only complaint is that the game feels like it is going at quadruple speed. Some of these minigames require reaction times of a ninja.

Lovely game, pixel art is amazing. The game was fun, not at all bored. It was amazing to play it and I gave it a score that reflects it quality :)
Very well done !

This theme was so open ended, it was genius to make minigames so you can cover lots of ground! Excellent job on everything!

Haha! Great work guys! The mixture of all the minigames and the first person shooter horror game got me, I wasnt fully expecting it, and when they started attacking, I was like WOAAAAHHHH!!! (Crazy Game, Super enjoyable, even the minigames didn't get super old that quick, my only complaint is that while the music was quite good, and varied, some sections were a bit repetitive and got annoying pretty quick)

@Gamekrazzy Thank you so much! The music bit is on me, Knox made no less than a minute of music for each game and I wanted the song to continue where it left off. Unfortunately I didn't get to it. Here's the full soundtrack: https://b-knox.bandcamp.com/album/portaboy-ost

This is sooo great! How the hell can they get so much done in so little time?

Love the music and graphics. A really nice game done well. Even though I think there is some kind of speed bug that makes the game on my desktop pc very very hard. :bug:

What a memorable game! The visuals and audio were stunning! The games were engaging, seemed a little simple to begin, but then the TRUE nature of the game reveals itself. I managed 3800 and was quite proud, but you guys should be more proud for making such a little beauty! it was rich in content, highly polished, had humour and fun to play. The genre blends for the minigames I guess you could say were not too incompatible, more just unconventional game combos - however the blend of the shooting and the minigames was more incompatible, as they added pressure with the need to earn bucks to buy ammo. Would have been harsh but maybe interesting if the games didnt pause when you looked away to shoot. Awesome effort <3

Definitely one of the most unique ones and overall very well done!

Not gonna lie, the first time the zombie popped out I got a mild scare. Nice job with the plot twist, I definitely didn't expect it. Gameplaywise I haven't seen a meta-Wario Ware like that where you had to juggle minigames at different levels of play. Very clever and would be cool if you could push it one level further to solidify the concept. Great job.

Incredible surprise in this jam. Not just a game over several games. Congratulations on the idea and execution.

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

I hope you continue with the project.

Wow, amazing job on this. I managed 4750 the fourth time around. *My recommendation for players:* **Spend all cash on ammo**

The music, the art, the porta-boy aesthetic -- I love it all. And to follow the theme so fantastically, with variety, and meta-gameplay, this is probably the best game I have played so far.
