You are stuck in loading screen. The loading screen is very EVIL and master of bamboozles! Be careful.

Sadly I had very limited time, so I sew this game up within 13hours. Wish I could add more content. Hope you won't be too much disappointed with the ending! :smile:

The opening sequence reminds me of the Sims. I got Warioware vibes from the multiple mini-games. The circle for the mouse movement felt a little small and fast, and didn't give much indication of where it was going. That was stressful, but otherwise, nice game!

I love these kind of games. Reminds me of Stikir a bit. It was more of a short interactive movie, but I love those. It was fun, well executed and entertaining. Thank you.

(I had to use my wacom for the stay inside circle part.)

How wonderfully meta! The presentation was great, I love the simplicity of the gradient glows and the pitch shifted noises for the different characters' speech. Reminded me of WarioWare, with the variety of control schemes, and I actually snorted laughing at the ending. Nice.

Very clever and entertaining in concept, and I like the idea of a minigame collection. Unfortunately, I was utterly stymied by the stay in the circle part and couldn't get any farther than that. I found it to be much too difficult.

Nice!
The confrontation between the "good" and the "evil" parts of the videogame - reminds me Pony Island 🦄

Cool! :)
Really good one, although round 2 of the circle game is mean!

Clever game!

Fun and funny use of the theme. I like the loading screen concept as a framework for the minigames. Amazing what you put together in only 13hrs, well done!

Loading games have been a thing since the 80s, but rarely were they evil and tried to bamboozle you. Nice idea!

Hey. I really like this take on the theme and the mixing up styles. The text is great too. I enjoyed my time loading

Cool thing, but it's very short. Nice job, anyway.

Holy Crap!
This Game Just Made My Day. The Dialogues and Storyline Are Top Notch. The Audio Really Fits The Theme. I Loved The Self-Aware Humor.
10/10 would kill the bug fixes.

Very well done! Reminds me of "There Is No Game" on the Scirra Arcade (it won a game jam a while back). However, the circle minigame is WAY too fast for someone who uses a touchpad and not a mouse. (Because I don't own a mouse)

Cute idea, executed excellently with fun little minigames. Really well made and polished given the time constraints with cohesive visuals audio and story. Would love to see how you would expand on this, and what different minigames you would add.
Congrats!

Some funny mini-games, I know so well how much it is hard to do multiple gameplays in one LD so I understand why there is only two ;)

Nice light effects and good concept.

I like the light effects and the overall mood! I was a bit stressed there with the mouse, round two killed me :) The dialogue is prettyyy - the best amount of cheesy and satisfying to click through. Good job!

That was funny. Interesting choice of using the loading screen as the antagonist that causes the player to be stuck-in-a-loop. The only part I had issue with was the keep-the-mouse-in-the-circle part, but I managed. Good work!
