The Tie Game by Dejvo

The Theme was a tie? Then I will make a game all about Tie.
You control with left and right arrow keys *two button controls check*
You grow and shrink depending on what you hit *growing check**rhyme check* (it's a rhyme shut up)

This was pretty fun! Bonus points for the clever approach to the theme and the ragtime jams.

Very well themed game! Simple fun. The liquid could've been a little more liquid-y. Well done!

A fun game, as soon as this came to mind. Very interesting and fun gameplay, and good music. Good job.

Nice use of the theme in the game! The game itself is fun but gets repetitive after a while thought.

Liked the music, gameplay is too repetitive though

Cute!

The tie was a little tricky to control, and sometimes the wine seems unavoidable... but it was still fun! It's a shame it's so short, I would've liked some more levels, maybe this tie has a dream to become the president's tie and has to hop from person to person, or something like that. :D

Great approach to the theme. Nice idea on simulating tie growth by scaling down environment. Tie physics were a bit wonky, tie itself was too rigid, it would more funny if it was flapping around. Music track could be longer, as it is now looping moment was too noticeable.

Minimalistic, fun, growing and two-buttons involved. At first, I didn't know whether I should use the tie to hit the wine to avoid the person getting dirty. Thanks for creating this.

Cheers from Brno! :)

Great way to "tie" in both themes... I'll see myself out.
But really, this is a nice game well executed.

A fun triple theme whammy! The 'get bowties' part is something I ignored... just avoiding the ketchup was paramount!

Fun interpretation of the theme, and a good fun idea for a game. It could use a lot of tweaking of the gameplay though.

Fits the theme perfectly, and it's a rather funny interpretation of it ^^ Physics were a bit odd... but it felt kind of intentional, and added a bit of awkward difficulty to it. Not sure if I particularly enjoyed that aspect, but definitely got used to it and overall the game was good (:

Never played a tie in any game before this one. The game is very fun, one of the best I played until now. I can just notice two problems :
- Sometime the jet of vine hit the base of the tie letting you with no escape options.
- The bonus dont add a lot to the game. I usually spend my time avoiding vine and randomly catch bonus. I think that winnning the game over time would not change much things.
