I played this for April fools and got quite a kick out of its Muppet-esque physical comedy meets dry unfunny office speak

It was a very interesting piece, with Stone Jones taking us on a series of unexpected turns!
I also really enjoyed the physical practice from the comedy theory.

I drew something inappropriate on my name tag and it was like he KNEW. That was a really fun little experience, but I'm suddenly disappointed in my own predictability. 

Great game and pretty funny! 

🤍10/10🖤

I like squeezing his nose and spontaneously shushing him 11/10

LOVE IT

I thought it was a pretty funny and interesting game. Stone Jones's face entertained me the most throughout, along with his (dry but still witty) sense of humour. Inspired me to be the comedian of my dreams. 5/5

I'm eagerly awaiting your jokes and japes!!

I LOVED this game. I had way more fun than I should have. Thank you for making this.

Very interesting game for sure. It's short but definitely gave me a good chuckle. Keep it up.

Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont

This game has such a unique style and genuinely funny moments. It may be short but defiantly worth a play.

i also made a video on it if you want to check it out( you are credited in the description, but if you'd like further credits or any other sites linked let me know :) )

that was great, well done!

This game is wonderful. Lots of neato gags. The best part though was just how interactable his face was to me. Idk why, but the ability to just shush him mid-sentence made me turn into a snickering hyena. He was definitely fed up with me by the end.

I'm so proud of how the shushing and the pies just stop him dead in his tracks lmao

Yeah alright

Kinda sus! Among u

Good game yo u make!!!

not really that much to do here in this game but heres my gameplay anyways thanks for watching

They don't all have to be 100 hour epics! Otherwise we'd have no time to eat sandwich :) thanks for playing!

So i just actually watched your video and looks like you didn't finish the game! The section you were up to is all about repetition - if you keep honking the horn, Stone Jones will notice!

Your game starts a 05:55. This was very funny and creative. Spike's is a great character. His design and personality was excellent and made interacting rewarding. The gag with the name tags and glasses was brilliant as the reactions came so fast. We could see you building on this game and making more content for it.  

Thanks for playing! Love to see a family share the experience together :))) absolutely adorable

I really liked this game. Very promising.

Thank you for playing!!! :)

I really like this game , the graphics are very cool , and I think I had way too much fun throwing pies lol. 

(+2)

Thanks for playing! The pie throwing stuff was probably the most unnecessarily complicated part of making the game, so I'm glad it paid off lmao

Thank  you for taking the time of putting it in.  I think it’s super fun 😁

fun game with awesome visuals (kinda reminds me of those flash games on the cartoon network website, the gumball ones specifically). kinda wished it were longer or went a bit farther but considering the fact it was made for a game jam it's perfect!

Funnily enough, it took like two or three times as long as the jam lasted to actually get it to this state! Games like these with a hundred single-use mechanics are a nightmare,,,

As a new employee at funny business, I can confirm their training regimen is top notch. It is refreshing to see a company has emboldened me with the tools needed to succeed in this industry.
