Song slaps, perfect amount of existentialism.

That was adorable, great little piece of work tanimayto <3

"...I secured some juicy funding... which is entirely allocated to music and sound effects..."

We noticed something good in our ears when this started playing. Cartoon is looking amazing as always. Can you please throw us off your trail by putting out some low quality cartoons for a little while? It will give us an excuse to stop refreshing our browsers in anticipation for your next cartoon.

So much love Garden. Always a privilege to work on your cartoon magic. I'm sorry how much hurt this one must have been to make. I was wondering why you didn't have this up for TDOR but it makes sense now.

I learned about TDOR back in 2012, was in Oakland walking past a candle light vigil for Brandy Martel. She was gunned down two blocks from my apartment. I see her name every year, met her boss, would have received care from her if I had started my HRT sooner. People were up in arms this year about TDOR coinciding with Easter, like, I'm sorry we get murdered. If only we were fetus, Christians would be like "murder is bad."

I'm sorry I couldn't quite nail the optimism you wanted to portray in the church scene, with the baby. Maybe I'm not feeling so politically optimistic right now. Trump is selling Bibles for $60, our colorful flags are turning black and white, and somehow you and I are destroying the fabric of society by making cartoons and living our best lives.

Let's plan the next TDOR to coincide with Christmas! I'm certain it will go over perfectly.

A CHIME, I SHOULD HAVE SENT YOU A GLITTERY CHIME SAMPLE TO COINCIDE WITH THE BABY. OR A small TOY PIANO MELODY THAT... never mind. Project is done, ideas can't happen now :p

*starts playing maple maid service and notices there is an option to turn off the music*

bullshit

J/k, I'm giving the game it's test run right now and noticing that exiting the settings menu is... impossible? Is there a button I'm missing? If I go full screen looking for a button will I be stuck in this game forever? Am I supposed to listen to Lady (Hear Me Tonight) (Hear Me Tonight) by Modjo for the rest of my life? Is that part of the game? I'm gonna refresh my browser and avoid the settings for now.

So I almost immediately went to bed not realizing it would end the game. There should be a warning on the bed like "we worked really hard on this game, only use the bed if you must..." then I got stuck on the Results page and I was reliving my settings nightmare. I had to refresh my browser, I should avoid the bed for now.

The village is amazingly colorful and the art is so beauteous. I FOUND A BEACH BALL, I'M GONNA FIGHT THIS BEACH BALL FOR THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES. I'm actually very impressed, I've been trying to get it stuck in such a way that the audio glitches or I can't unstuck it but the broom is very efficient at unstucking the ball. Good stuff. The sit down illustration is the cutest thing ever, seeing her eyes dilate like that reminds me of what it felt like to look into the mirror after doing mushrooms in college. I CAN PET THE SHEEP?? This game is perfect. OH NO I CAN SWEEP THE SHEEP TOO D:

Game feels a little funny just running into barns and sweeping stuff, a "to-do list" on the wall of her house might give people a little more incentive to aim themselves towards objectives? A sprint button might be a decent addition but that might shorten an already short game, don't listen to me.

As a landscaper myself I found the ability to sweep away leaf piles HIGHLY UNREALISTIC but a nice additional bit of code, sweet deal <3

Loved the work y'all put into the fishing mini game. THE BEACH BALL FOUND IT'S WAY BACK TO THE BEACH, I'M GONNA FUCK IT UP FOR A FEW MINUTES, alright that was fun. As someone that grew up on an island, if you do a 2.0 version of this game you need to include a space in Maple's house to collect seashells and a jar to put beach glass in. Just an idea, tiny observation based on real life doings.

I remembered Garden showing off her crab animation so I looked around the beach for the crab and found a sheep. It doesn't make sense but I will pet the sheep. I feel so much better now. THE CRAB RAN AWAY, WHAT? I JUST WANTED TO PET IT D:<, I'll be back to see if the crab returns. Maybe I'm supposed to hit it with my broom...

Ok, I just found sheep lady morgan, time to pet the sheep again...

I hooked the cat up with fish, nice. I got the person their glasses. Felt bad taking the doll from the dog, perhaps 2.0 needs an Indiana Jones esque swap, trade the dog a doll for a doll?

WOW, HELENA DIDN'T EVEN PAY ME FOR CLEANING HER HOUSE. IT'S A MAID SERVICE NOT A MAID SLAVERY- SHE SHOULD PAY ME NOW. I DEMAND A DOLL TO GIVE TO THE DOG >:C

Alright, I'm gonna quietly enjoy the rest of the game. Sorry to drop a bunch of suggestions on you after you've finished the game, especially since y'all invited me into the game Discord and I was inert the entire time. Would love to see what you guys could do with this material on a budget. Maple 2.0 needs microtransactions for additional outfits and OST purchases, wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

Edit I: At least the guy agrees with me that I need to give the dog a new toy.
Edit II: This is the cutest game ever.
Edit III: THE BALL HAS BEEN LOST TO THE OCEAN, WHYYY?????
Edit IV: I caught a Garden while fishing. Sweet deal.
Edit V: I'm trying really hard to enjoy the tea. Do I need to sit on this bench for a set amount of time?
Edit VI: I left the room to make breakfast and in that time I finished the tea. That was a little weird but I'm glad I was able to enjoy the tea...

WOOHOO, game works :)

This is my first robot day sub I'm looking at, so technically you're # 1 as of this review. I recognized all that Pixel Day music, I roll hard with the NG music scene. I don't know much about coding games but for a small game it's fairly well done. The art is adorable and fits the holiday. If I remember correctly there weren't many games produced for Pixel Day. Sometimes you can nab some decent Newgrounds prizes when you get low turn out for certain genres of content. This definitely doesn't come off like something that was rushed but I'm curious what you would do if you put more time into it?

I was initially confused by that small portal at the end of each lap. Since you can program it to enlarge once a certain parameter is met, maybe that initial portal could be replaced with an arrow? I kept jumping at it trying to activate it and got a little confused when rolling to the right sent me back to the beginning. I reread the directions and made a few assumptions to compensate for my confusion. Also, it's a little sad that the portal doesn't immediately enlarge once you get enough swag. I ran out of time having to complete another loop :'C

Love the work you put into this and good luck with RobotDay Chdonga!

Really cool sounds and explorations! The synths are awesome. Some of these snare drums are unique, 1:04 sounded like it was being plunged. Is a drum layer getting reversed there? Some more variety in that plunged snare drum might have been amaze. I'm a slut personally for pitch bending and filtering drums periodically to emulate drum fills, helps accent the synths. You had some of that variety around 1:20 and 3:28 + 3:38. Loved those final breakbeats, the song would have benefit if you didn't save those snares for last. Layer them into the plunge snares? I also liked the snare towards the drop that starts to fade in @ 00:54. I think some of those sounds would have been great reused in the hard dubstep sections, little variety fills.

Look, I'm gonna be up front with you. Nachos, you have a snare drum fetish. This grievance is coming from someone that also gets off to certain snare drum textures, a hypocrite. If there was some kind of hidden message hiding in those snare textures, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. Look, we all get our hearts broken. You didn't deserve it.

That final snare drum @ 4:03, let those tones ring out a little longer. Put a little reverb on that last snare texture, give the wave shape a cute little furry tail. tbh, that's my snare drum fetish.
Edit: the pixel animation is gorgeous <3

I'm not sure fractalcore will catch on but it should. This shit is awesomeness, unique idea, perfectly executed. Very creative, I'll have to give it a try. I'd love for fractalcore to catch on but the real way you get a genre to take is if other musicians also go at it, if others share in it. Actually, get a fractalcore contest up and toss together the results as a playlist! Just saying, you shouldn't stand alone with a concept as good as this.

"...when my vocal ability has improved..."

Meanwhile, mumble rappers and hardcore music enthusiasts are like "hold my beer bro, I have some guttural eldritch noises to commune with."

Hey look, actual footage of my squat session complete with my inner thoughts. Great job!

I came here with zero context. I still lack context but these illustrations are sick, good work everyone <3

Gorgeous colours, love the figure. Beautiful work MM <3
