Hey man

You might be glad to know that you're not the only one that laughs at your jokes. I had several good bursts of laugh. Top sh*t man, 5* for humor.

The track is killer :man_dancing: but you already know it is. The visuals are nice, though it seemed unpolished here and there, but yeah... compo. Still a job well done.

The transition from the video store to different eras blew my mind a bit. Good stuff!

And I am going to specifically mention and appreciate the fact that the customer keeps the same distance from the counter be it first person or third person view, since people usually don't notice these things, but it's the kind of detail that shows the love and care the artis puts into their work.

And lastly, the only bug I found was the ending/victory screen (I LOLd). W didn't close the game, and then it switched back into the counter view, but that really doesn't matter.

Anyway, great job m8 and all the best to you going forward.

Speed run in 9:59.01...what a great game! The absurd plot was brilliant. The music is catchy.

Was there ever a way to change into the propeller beanie or the coveralls, or were they just there to make it harder to change clothes?

Only bug I saw was one bone that went flying off and got stuck in the black void, so it was unreachable.

I am amazed at how much you accomplished in 48 hours! A tour de force!

This might be the first game I've rated so well :sweat_smile: I LOVE the overall mood- the graphics remind me of the (now absurd in retrospect) cartoons I used to watch as a kid, and the cool, retro music creates a very disco-ish vibe. This is of course made even better by the absurd plot (remember that time when the Blockbuster manager was outed for running a dinosaur cave underground?) and it's absolutely ridiculously tasks. Good job!!!

I really loved this! Loved the art, the concept, the music, the gameplay. Great work. I could imagine this being some 90s sitcom premise. Also was I killing Netflix employees?!?! :S :S

Wow, fantastic game! Great work! I thought it was just going to be store manager simulator, but I loved the ridiculous twist. Awesome art, sound, animation; just all around great game :)

This is just AMAZING. I have already sent it to all of my Ludum Dare teammates/friends with a very emphatic **you have to play this** along with it. I love the mild hassle of the wardrobe change. There is nothing about this I didn't love!!

This game is wacky and absurd and I could not stop smiling the whole time.

Great animation. Interactions feel good. Music bops. Impressive scope for 48h.

What a FANTASTIC game! The whole vibe of it is so funny. When I booted it up I expected it to be a game where you just scan items and deal with mean customers. I did not at all expect what was coming. Great job!

A complete Netflix office wreaking experience made in 48h. Great vfx and animation. I wish my jokes were this funny. Fantastic job.

Yup. This is gold. Great job! Speedrun time 9:11.38!

Funny game! I loved the artstyle and the mood. Also it was super seamless the learning period for the game :)

This game was a very fun experience. The animations, gameplay and overall feel of the game is great. Really gives you that stress of managing multiple things at once. Loved the little details you put like the extra clothing pieces and the different underground maps.
Managed to beat it in 8:46.07 :)

I think everyone elses comments sum up my thoughts on the game. Really great job with this, it looks amazing and the audio is fantastic. Super fun to play as well. Amazing

I can only agree with my predecessors. The humor is really good. This ties in with the fun graphics and music. It just sells that slight chaotic energy that comes with the premise.

JESUS I haven't laughed this hard since... idk. Honestly this could *easily* be made into a Regular Show episode. The timings, the music, the vfx, it all flows together soooo good into this kind of "blink and you'll miss it" style of comedy that I just find so hilarious. 10/10 bud!

You sure have a knack for making games I want to replay. I remember this happening with stronky, ramnesia and ultra quest. Imma go and play this again now.

And no, that is not a good thing. I should be playing and rating other games :smile:

Such an absurd concept, it's so funny I like it. I'm surprised at the amount of polish (i know it's not 100%, but still) for a compo category game! Overall humor is great and the gameplay was pretty fun! I like the fact that you have to juggle between two things to do and the clothing changing sequence is pretty funny too

Great game!!!!! kkk I can only get as far as the netflix era! Good job!!!! very fun game. 5/5

Absolutely fantasic game!!!

Really really nice game! It was fun and creative. The art was great too. Don't know how you thought of this but it was well polished. Great work.

What an incredibly quirky and creative game. I love the mashup of retail, shootem up, and dinosaurs for some reason?! It is very much its own thing and I absolutely love its absurd charm. The humor was incredibly on point and I was constantly surprised and laughing. Whats even more impressive is that this is a compo entry so you had only 48 hours to do this incredible work.

As someone who worked in retail for 5 years, I applaud this game.

Really cool idea! The gameplay felt really good and the story was just top notch! It was fun that you never really got more than 10 customers a day. Overall great job!

haha, that reveal on the third stage. Does a really good job depicting balancing different work things despite the absurdity. I found it also really funny that as the player it is very easy to just go along with it as a "I guess this is what I should be doing." Liked the run cycle and the changing costume sequence. Nice job!

hahah :ъ
I didn't expect the plot twist from the video cassette store, the era of dinosaurs to the destruction of the building. Very original! It seems to me that if the interface is slightly improved, it will be a very pleasant game.

It randomly froze in stage 2/cretaceous. You're using Unity, so please consider making a Linux build (or web).

Crazy unique concept! While the gameplay loop at first reads convoluted and needlessly complicated, it actually plays out manageably well and even makes the game reach a certain depth (haha). Also the short puzzle segment in between 'worlds' disguising itself as some kind of customization menu was clever and funny. Love the cameos from your other game's protagonists :D

That was a blast from the past! Solid and fun game, well done!

A very polished and hilarious interpretation of the theme. Had nothing but good times from it, which is basically how I feel about Blockbuster...

Superfun! I have a strong feeling, that you will earn a medal as a professional :sunglasses: Very pleasant to play, very smooth and comfy controls and graphics.

10/10 dinosaurs and netflix employees sacrifices!

This was so fun; when you review games for the LD, some of them make you smile, while this one actually made me laugh out loud, so good job on this!

Very polished game, including the visuals, animations, sound effects and music. The universe that you created is crazy but still feels perfectly consistent.

Nice job as always :)

That was a really weird experience. Also very educational and I guess historic documentation. Really cool, could have done with some more interesting challenge in that shooting/flying section imo.

## "Please procrastinate"
# 11/10

Also, there are some places where it's able to cross the walls (I found 2)



The gameplay loop is solid, the particle effects are really cool if a bit confusing. The music is good but seems somewhat unrelated to the game. You implemented the theme very well, good job!

What can I say, I loved this! Controls feel really nice, good amount of difficulty, great humor and art. The whole story around this is just wonderful. The rainbow witch rules!

This game is full of surprises, the gameplay was fun, the music is awesome. Great work!

Very original, juicy and satisfying. Every system fit well with each other ! I had a lot of fun playing it, loved the gimmick of being chaotic witch with a normal ass job, the changing system is a perfact choice to make the player feel like this :grin:

Also, did I just commit a mass murder of my concurrents just to build my business on top of their bones :thinking: :scream:

Very good entry, definitely one of my favorite!! Great job :clap:

Absolutely brilliant and hillarious plot and concept hahah, love it!
I was not prepared for the absurdity of this (started playing without paying enough attention to the screenshots), and while I get that it grabs peoples attention more to show the two different parts of the game, I'm glad I missed it because it was a really fun twist. LD for me is one part finding great gems of "regular" gameplay, and one part finding great gems like this with hillarious and strange plot and art. Thank you for sharing!

Great work, and good luck!

Boppin' soundtrack, slick fun gameplay. Also, I checked and the dinos are I think period appropriate so it brings some realness there. Pretty sure stegosauruses weren't blue but honestly nobody knows for sure so I can't dock you there.

I feel like I just woke up from a dream. This was quite an experience hahaha. Good soundtrack too and the rainbow trail is so good. The controls on the broom are very fluid, I very much enjoyed this.

Wow. Well, this game includes my favorite music track from the game jam so far. I really like this one! The concept is unique and creative, and was very humorous on top of that (Whatever this lady is getting paid is *not enough*). The gameplay is well done and the difficulty curve is well-balanced. The artstyle is also well-done, with good animations and effects on the main character. The only thing that I had issue with was the lack of a way to actually quit the game once playing with ctrl+alt+tabbing (unless I missed something), and I also wished there was some sort of controls screen within the game so I could double check them. These are minor gripes, though, and I enjoyed my time with this done. Good job!

This style of humor is top tier to me - I love the writing in this game, from the vhs tape titles to the descriptions of the clothes. even the fact that you have to arbitrarily change into a different outfit to change between sections is fantastic.

The game too feels really fun to play! I didn't encounter any bugs or issues, and THANK YOU for not making the bone requirements too strict based on the number of dinosaurs and the bones they spawn. (Especially in that last stage!) Everything felt very user friendly and it eases you into the gameplay loop very well. If anything, I would have loved to get some more challenge if there were to be any further levels.

Final time was 7:26.25 for my first run, very fun entry and the quality of the writing, gameplay, art, and music is amazing for the 48 hours you had to work with as a team of one. Congrats!

Excellent game, one of the better entries I tried so far, you did an amazing job. I had a few bug (especially, one were I could sell a tape immediatly after the client came up to the store, but had to do it again as the first was probably a bug or something like that), and I would have love a bit of screenshake with those many explosions, but still those points are really minor. I just had a lot of fun playing the game, a captivating gameplay loop inserted in a stupid and funny setting, loved it. gg!

This is a top entry as many have said before me, really well made especially for a compo. I love the idea of a part time witch/manager harvesting bones to support a slowly sinking blockbusters while still have to split her time to scanning barcodes because of course :joy: Those poor netflix employees! Great job

The concept is hilarious, the gameplay challenging and satisfying, the effect juicy, the music is hype, there is nothing in this game that I don't love!

This is the funniest game man xD I love it!
Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449081811

That was a pretty funny mix of very different settings, I had a good time. It's simple gameplay but with the time pressure and two things to manage they work together really well. This was well balanced and polished for a jam game, thanks for putting it together!

Man, the best explosion particles I ever seen! Hilarious, well balanced and funny to play. The only feedback I wanted to give is that I had problem with the camera, meaning that there are things rendered outside of the screen sometimes, very minor thing. Good job! :v:

Very nice art and sound design.

This game is perfect - the particle effects, the sensible logic, the motivational posters, and the gameplay is truly exceptional.
Plus it explains why I remember every blockbuster employee having a hazy, magical look in their eye - they were rushing off to the back room to blast dinosaurs!
Truly a special piece of human culture I am proud to have participated in - really awesome job!

What a great idea you had! Really nice game. Loved the run animation, particle effects, and humor. Also, congratulations on your 19th LD entry!

Let me join the crowd here: what a creative, funny game! I had a smile the whole while. Love that funny armless run cycle. I made a note to follow your work long ago and it keeps paying off.

I LOVE THIS GAME! hahaha

I didn't expect being a blockbuster manager being this fun heh

Great gameplay loop, good pixel art, I liked the soundtrack and effects, just really well polished

Great job!

best LD50 game I've played yet!!! i love everything about this, really. spectacular job with the humour, the setting, the ending, the art, the vibes. easy 5 stars :]

Ok, I'm into breaking mind ideas and this one has this Douglas Adams or whatever vibe. Incredible, but you did blow my mind! This game is fun and addictive, and catchy. The lore gets sick, as you think this is some kind of world maintaining reference, but this theory might work, indeed!

The best game played so far. Good job.


Well this explains a bit about the old Blockbusters back in the day if everything in game is true!

Where to start... Graphics, Music, Gameplay loop; all fantastic. Obviously humor is subjective, but I like it so thats all that matters to me! The general escalation was great and the details were kinda crazy.

Like there was no reason to have the customers move to the aisle while you're behind the counter. Such an unnecessary detail, but it was there!

So lets stretch some and get some critiques:

1) Music and SFX was kinda unbearably loud, with no way to adjust them. I was playing with friends over stream and we couldn't hear each other, that was unfortunate!

2) The jokes come a mile a minute, but due to the juggling of the situation you miss a lot of good ones. Good writing deserves to be enjoyed!

3) For some reason I kept wanting to follow the bones back to the surface. That obviously doesn't work, but feels so right for some reason. Also at least in 'phase 2' doing so almost get me stuck when I clipped through an apparently no-collision ceiling part.

4) There wasn't any reason I could find to use the extra costume bits, and I was too frantic to just do them for the sake of it.


It was a stretch to come up with those 4, but its all I could come up with. This was a fun time, and hopefully it'll find more people playing it over the weekend.



Easily one of the most creative and imaginative games of the jam. Loved how well balanced the timers were. Nothing felt unfair in that regard. Art was simple enough and kept everything distinct. Sound was great and the music was an absolute bop. Humour was on point throughout the game which is usually very hard to do lol. I have a few qualms though...

The particle effect for when a shot landed seemed like there was a little too much going on, and so sometimes I couldn't really tell if I hit a dinosaur or not.

(SPOILERS)
The level in the third day really needed some semblance of directions or something since it's a bit of an abrupt step up from the last two days. Only saying this because I got lost quite a bit lost and didn't really learn the layout of the level because of time lol.
The bones of the humans might have been a little too small as well since I did miss a few lol, though that might just be me and be a nitpick.

None the less, amazing entry here.

At FIRST, I didn't think much of this, a dinner dash type of game where if your customers aren't happy, they go home sad and you lose when you get overwhelmed but this I had to do X and shoot Y whilst also keeping an eye on Z!?

Brilliant entry, well done with this one!

Great game, I like the artstyle!

this was great! a web build would've been nice (i don't have windows so i had to compile it myself), but the game was super fun. loved the explosion particles especially

Great game! Love the super fluid running animation and the dress up mode :D Very juicy execution and everything feels just right!

This was such a great game! Loved every single bit of it! The controls are really smooth and fun to use and the music and sound design is really goood!! Changing the clothes is also such nice and fun mechanic! Also love the art! Thank for making such nice and original game! One the best ones I have played!

Amazing game dude, it's balanced, cute and very funny. Blowing up Netflix emplyees was fun. Well done!

Marvellous. 5/5, nothing to add honestly.

Excellent game! Very cool flow of the game and mechanics' development. Very cute art. Brilliant job!

My favorite from this jam. Gameplay loop + theme are brilliant. Nice work!

Everything about the game play progression - from mechanic to mechanic - feels designed by an unfettered stream of consciousness; it *somehow* totally works. I laughed when the game opened, I laughed as soon as I realized I was literally going to have to scan/check out the tapes, I laughed again when I had to run to the closet (at the need to do so and the running animation), 'do' my hair, change my clothes, get on a broom and shoot dinos to... to... to create support structures for the video store?! LOL... The random dialogue/comments great too; I can't believe how much stuff you managed to cram into this game. It's maybe not the prettiest thing ever, but I doubt that was ever the point, and honestly I was laughing so much I didn't really care. Great work! Outstanding for a jam game especially!

I'm extremely impressed with the sheer amount of *stuff* you packed into this. Gorgeous animations, multiple types of movement that all feel great, great music, jokes, seamless transitions between different entire gameplay loops. Kudos!

It's really absurd and really fun ! I would have liked to be able to control with the arrow keys though, and I had to start the game again to figure out how to launch the broom again, so a reminder of the controls in the pause menu would be nice

Wow. This works so well it's kinda incredible.

This. Freakin'. ROCKED.

There's so much and it all comes together so well! The level of polish is astonishing and the way you kept this coherent and balanced is really impressive! Solid entry!

Really good, really funny, awesome game. Only feedback is it would be nice to have an easy way to quit from the pause menu.

Otherwise loved it, so impressive you could get something this big done in such short time. Kinda perfect for this theme.

The art is truly incredible for such a short time window. Congratulations!

This was an absolute masterpiece. I'm at a loss for words. The amount of content you managed to create is impressive. Gameplay rocks as well! It was incredibly fun and very immersive too. You end up truly caring for the store and it feels like there is meaning to what you do. The plot and setting is hilarious and really well thought-out and cohesive. An absolute 5/5 and I fully expect to see this among the top entries.

Incredible. Simply outstanding.

This was amazing and absurd and loads of fun. I enjoyed every minute of it and all of the jokes.

What the crap!? haha awesome game! I loved it! Not even sure what else to say, just awesome job! Way to have an awesome mind that can think up this stuff hahaha Nice job, thanks for creating this. haha

Congrats. This was super fun to play!
