minigames! by thyoi

[raw]
made by thyoi for Ludum Dare 51 (COMPO)

I already felt intense vertigo, I had to sleep and wasn't sure when I would wake up.

The game is finished, but I don't have time to edit the poster before I recover.

I uploaded the source code and the release version on Github, you can download it and play it. Or you can hang out and wait for me to upload a web version (recommended)

Really cute spritework and great bgm and sound effects! Wish I could have seen my total score at the end.

Fun little game, or games. I enjoyed the minigames, but the rules where a bit unclear, probably on purpose. In the end it felt like it didn't really matter if I completed any of the mini-games or not. Graphics are nice and music/sound effects fit. Maybe a bit loud. Well done!

Love the art and the sound. An impressive number of minigames for such a short jam!

That was great! It was beautiful and sounded great. The games were fun. I only wish I could see my score!

Well done!

Thanks for playing. The score is only part of the explosion effect, so there is no counter

Very fun game. But there doesn't seem to be any penalty for doing something wrong, or a real way to win/lose for that matter. I enjoyed it nonetheless. Really good art.

A super cute little warioware-like. I absolutely love line-boil art and you've nailed it here. I really enjoyed all of the games, though none of the games seem to have a consequence for failure. The intro mentions a slower mode yet doesn't say how to activate it and I would have loved to have some more time to admire the art. Otherwise a very good game for the time you had, and it has a lot of potential as a cute little game I could see giving to a kid on the Switch or their phone.

I think many of us thought about (or read about) a minigame idea for this jam. However I think you've nailed the art and execution. I loved the game and the way all minigames have something special. Despite being simple, I think this is one of the games I've enjoyed the most so far. I was a bit surprised that you can't really lose, but at the same time it feels more relaxing. Great work, kudos!

So cute!!!!! Love the Baba Is You doodle effect you got there (as well as the little references to other stuff like the sussy). Pretty fun, wish there was a way to keep score (but that might be because I'm competitive hehe). Really like this one, has a lotta charm to it!

I am very impressed by the sheer amount of content you were able to make for this in such a small timespan. *ALL* of the games are both relaxing and enjoyable, so if that was your goal, then mission succeeded! There's a little taste of everything in here, and your entry demonstrates well that you don't really need to win or have an end goal to enjoy games!

Absolutely brilliant this is really incredible not only for the time frame but for one persone as well!

It may be a short experience but its really solid such a joy to play through i feel it perfectly captured the level of quality you can get in a game jam and to me this screams quality.
It had such a distinct style, personality, the art and sound effects really drew me in to the game and i was fully engaged.
The feedback was great with the explosions, score numbers (even if they didnt mean anything), and sounds.

I love the re-use of the assets across multiple minigames that really felt like it tied each one together.

The idea of changing minigames and having to quickly work out the controls, and rules was so fun and i felt very innovative. I couldnt wait to see each one!
I also loved the twists on the established games (the tic-tac-toe stands out to me in particular i lost it when the ai went outside the grid! Amazing!) I got the distinct impression of some Undertale influence which worked in this very well!

A couple of the minigames could leaned further in playing with expectations (the cross street and whack-a-mole ones seemed pretty straight forward) but understandably i imagine you'd need to balance how much time you can spend coming up wit the twists

The idea of making a series of minigames is incredibly ambitious for a game jam. You had to make like half a dozen games and i think the amount you made and the quality of each is admirable!

The only thing missing for me is a fail condition and/or scoring system to really drive me to replay.
Taken as a chill, interactive experience though this is a 10/10. The theme is well utilised, the experience is small but really engaging, and it has a distinct personality.

Honestly im usually a bit more critical but this is but you've really done a terrific job i'm really happy i got to experience it. :)

I think I may just found the problem you are talking about today. There's a pretty serious bug in the level named CP. It's actually a very classic game where the player flip two cards and keeps them if they are the same. I forgot to stop the player from clicking a filped card.
Anyway thanks a lot for your feedback!

Wow really fun game.
Also very creative and polished.
While playing it, I thought it must have been done be a team,
but you're just 1 person.
Wow

Aesthetics reminded me a LOT of Baba is You; very cool stuff! Was surprisingly easy to learn despite only getting 10 seconds per game -- it's like WarioWare in that it teaches you concepts very quickly. I also liked the Undertale-inspired minigame. Even though I'm comparing it a lot to other games, there's definitely huge a sense of style and personality in this. Extremely impressive for a compo entry! Nice work!!

(I'm also glad I'm not the only one who put an amogus in my game)

A simple idea of a "collection" of mini-games, but therefore ingenious.
I really got the fun and relaxed. Not all the games were clear to me, the scoring system was also not obvious, but the narrative and atmosphere of the game suggests that the main thing is the process.
Charming character and audiovisual style.

What a charming little game! I love the wobbly graphical style, and the music/sfx just adds to the overall whimsical mood here, it's so nice. Oddly enough, regardless of how fast paced some of the minigames are, this entry is one that's made me feel the most relaxed. It's comforting in a unique way- Plus the minigame ideas are a lot of fun, very well done!

I'm not lying when i say that this is the first game i've ever given 5 stars across the board. I don't really know what else to say

This was very fun, I really wish there was more of it, but I understand the time constraint. Great job.

Great entry! You managed to make more games in 48 hours than I did! You made the line drawing style work well without looking floaty. It's interesting how the game contains unexpected elements, like match 3 in sokoban and tic tac toe outside the lines. An enjoyable experience, pity it doesn't have a lot of replay value.

This is adorable and I love it. I'm very impressed with the games you made and I was genuinely surprised by the twists in some of them. The art style was great and the whole experience was wonderful. I think it was just the right length too, there was plenty to play. Really good stuff!

It's so funny how we independently came up with similar ideas, a set of minigames with wiggly art style, and even similar sleeping and eating minigames! I loved how inventive each game was, and how there were no repeats. The amgus were really funny too. Incredible work for a compo!!

Jeez this is crazy, the effort you put into your work is staggering and everything was just so lovely, I had a huge smile on my face from start to finish and I liked how, even though for some games there was a clear "goal" it didn't really matter if we won or not since it felt like the goal was just...to have a nice chill time. Very very lovely and maybe my favourite from the Compo

I had to go check out your other games. Funny how this was almost the complete opposite in difficulty from your latest game!
