My favorite interpretation of the theme yet! I love how holding different people does different effects ( I just held the gun and played a bullet hell). I got 6790 on my first try and 10540 on the next one.
The intro sequence is a genius way to explain the main mechanic, one of the best tutorials ever (I held the kid for 10 minutes to try to prevent the inevitable lmao).
The voice acting ads a lot to the game, the multiplier markiplier quotes too.
I love the goofy style used in the cutscenes, ones of my favorite styles.
There were a few issues with the numbers at the end being rendered weird, tanks shooting from out of bounds and no fullscreen.

This game nails to mimic what's great about arcade games and added awesome cutscenes! I can even see myself coming back to it :)

Thank you so much for all the nice words and it makes me very happy to hear you enjoyed so many parts of the game! Also great score! I never got over 10k haha. 

Yeah I don't know what happened with the graphics, I had issues exporting to html5, and in the end it looked fine on the old laptop I made the game on, I'm assuming it breaks when playing on an actual monitor maybe? Will definitely have to re-work that in the future. Also the bullets coming from off-screen is great feedback? I'll make sure they can't shoot when not visible in future. Thank you so much for playing and leaving such a thoughout review!

When this whole mess started with a kid asking for a spin.

I thought it would be funny if I tried spinning no one and just got taken out by a bunch of kids instead, just to see how the interrogator would react. But then the cutscene already made me spin through one wave, giving me 150 free points from the start. I guess you already thought about that case.

Being able to spin almost anything is great: kids, adults, bullets, and all. But oof, the game crashed when I tried to spin a tank (that's the only unfortunate part).

Nice game, very funny.

Developer

I wish I had time to add funny dialog for all interactions haha, but didn't think about it really since I was priorotizing getting the game to work ( WHICH I APPARENTLY DIDN'T haha). Yeah I'm aware that the game breaks sadly, it happens when you grab a tank bullet JUST as it spawns, since there are no interactions for grabbing the tank. I had "Dev-blindness" and never playtested running straight for a tank and spamming grab button, so sadly didnt catch that bug :((  Thank you for reporting it tho and also thank you for taking your time playing and reviewing!

I love this game. Fun and funny with a great mashup of art styles. The gameplay is simple enough to grasp quickly but with each new wave of enemies adds a new dynamic, which is great! Also I think this is the only game I've played so far with voice overs and interactive cut scenes. Very serious stuff!!

Developer(+1)

Aw thank you for the nice review! I'm glad you liked the voiceacting and cutscenes haha. Also thank you for saying hallo on stream yesterday!

I HAVE KIDS AND I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!!!!! Top notch starting, introduction and ending sequence! This was really great fun!

Developer

Haha thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for playing!

What a serious game for such a serious topic. I honestly thought the first spin was the whole game so I held space until the background turned black and the audio went out. I was so sure that would get me a high score lol. I couldn't spin or take down a tank, though the end game stats made me think at least one of those is possible.  Hilarious take on the theme. Love the serious voice acting. Fun game!

Developer

Haha I'm glad you saw the seriousness of the game....very serious indeed... I never expected people to NOT throw the kid haha, so I've heard about other people that also spun the kid SUPER fast, I'm sorry about that haha, should probably have put a cap on the speed. And the tanks you can destroy by either picking up a missile or deflecting the missile while holding a spinning shield!
I'm glad you liked the theme and thank you for playing and reviewing!!

This game was hilarious and incredibly polished, I had no idea what I was booting into when I started playing it but definitely glad I did, Beautiful game!!

Thank you so much and also thank you for tuning into the stream!

This game was hilarious and way better than I expected! Very creative use of the theme. Great job, I had a lot of fun playing it!

Developer

Thank you!! Glad the humor hit and that you had fun playing! Thanks for playing and reviewing!

I love throwing people!

Developer

In games right? not IRL I hope..... (Thanks for playing!!)

Dude I love the whole presentation around this game lol. The way it ties into juniper's game jam video before going insane-o mode rocks! And the gameplay is super satisfying too when you line up a bunch of guys and just knock 'em all down with a 5 year old child. I LOVE how when the military shows up you can grab them and they'll just shoot out in a circle around you, such a cool way to mix up the game loop! The screen went black when I tried to grab a tank lol, idk if that was intentional. But yeah great job man! Good laughs and good game!

Developer

Makes me very happy that you liked so many parts of the game! Thank you for telling me! Sadly the black screen means that the game crashed, which is a bug that happens if you grab a missile shooting from a tank THE SECOND it shoots out. I never expected people to be INSIDE a tank and grab it as soon as it shot haha, so that's my bad. Thank you playing and reporting the bug as well! (There is a pretty funny ending so if you have time it could be worth just starting the game, pressing ESC to skip the intro cutscene and then lose if you want to see it, but no pressure, sorry about the crash). 

Submitted

I did see the ending it was perfect ! I died almost immediately when the military showed up on my first try lol

Amazing game with amazing story and mechanics. Had a lot of fun that I played it 3 times, the spnning bullets and deflecting bullets are crazy mechanics. Great job!! <3

Developer(+1)

Aw thank you for the nice review! Makes me very happy that you played it multiple times as well! Thanks for playing!! (Also cute AdmiralBahroo profile!!)

Honestly at first I thought this would be like a pretty mid submission for some reason but then I actually got into the game and holy shit it was so fun!! The idea, voice acting and gameplay is not just hilarious but also incredibly engaging, fun and addicting at least for me!! Theres just the right amount of juice aswell and the combo system was so funny too, and the cutscenes just made it so much better!! Such good work and an awesome game!!

Developer

Haha I don't judge you, the graphics aren't the best, but I'm glad you pushed through and turned out to like the game in the end! Thank you for all the nice words, it makes me very happy! Also thank you for tuning into stream and playing the game!

Very fun, very funny and satisfying gameplay.  The little voiceovers got a kick out of me ("Sir, you have to stop throwing our kids.").  Loved the lo-fi graphics, just the right amount of juice, and the gameplay is very fast but also there's a nice little bit of depth later on when you can grab the various kinds of cops / their bullets.  Things escalate very quickly.

I played through three times.  Really well done; great work!

Developer

It always makes me happy to hear people play the game multiple times haha. I'm glad you liked the gameplay and voiceacting as well! Thank you for playing, reviewing and also joining the stream yesterday!

The first game jam game that I have actually laughed at. Very good on all sides. If you had some more time, you could probably have expanded it, that later in the game, you just start spinning the land that you are on, then you start spinning the whole planet and throwing it into the black hole and the ending would be just human extinction.
But current ending is also perfect <3.

Developer(+1)

I'm glad I made you laugh! My original plan was to make levels and kind of a story that progressed, and I think that's what I might do if I decide to develop the game further, where you spin more and more things kinda, so I like your idea! Thank you for playing and for leaving such a nice review! 

Submitted(+1)

I actually laughed when I accidentally caught a bullet. What a fun time, thanks for making this!

Developer(+1)

Haha, I'm glad you liked it! I regret making the game so chaotic, because one of my favorite parts were catching and deflecting tank-bullets, which is very hard now with how many guards spawn in, but I'm glad you still managed to throw some normal bullets! Thank you for playing, for the nice review and for joining stream yesterday!

Really goofy and satisfying game to play :)

Submitted(+1)

I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS HAHA. I actually wasn't expecting THAT from the game but it was SO PEAK. I love throwing lil' Timmy around everywhere and it was full chaotic. To the point where tanks comea long. I think I might have accidently broken the game when I went to the tank and it all became black(?) Visuals does need a bit more polish though but the audio was good! Overall, I had a blast with this one! Great work!

Developer(+1)

Hahaha I'm glad you liked it!! Except for the below average art that I made, I also had some issues with making the game playable in browser. For some reason the score-text got messed up which is a bit sad, oh well. Also, you're correct about the black screen, that means the game crashes and I just found out that it happens if you grab a tank missile inside another tank haha, thank you for finding that bug. Thanks for playing and leaving a review!

Submitted(+1)

It was entertaining how, just like in the thumbnail GIF, the battle started abruptly the moment I let go of the child. I also really liked that the attack method was the same as the move used to throw the child. The music is very cool. IT’S PEAK!!

Developer(+1)

I was pretty proud of the transition from cutscene to gameplay haha, glad you liked it! Thank you for the nice words and for reviewing!!

Amazing game! 😄 Definitely one of the top three games I’ve played so far, and I’ve already tried more than 40.

The idea, execution, and humor are all excellent. I’ll definitely come back to it, and I’m looking forward to any future updates!

Developer

Thank you so much for the nice words! An honor to be in your top picks! I'll try and get some updates in the future, definitely have some things to fix after the jam atleast!

Amazing game! Hilarious, fun and story is amazing 10/10!

Developer
