Made for Global Game Jam 2024 (Theme: Make Me Laugh)

Sim themed flash. Graphics are good enough to tell everything apart. The gameplay makes sense but was not enjoyable. The comedy was not funny at all.
My fingers hurt from clicking.
funny game
i love how newgrounds stoped caring about if reviews are helpful
Certainly a memorable game for its very unique mechanic of being a ghostly hype man for comedians, and the game also has a certain goofy charm to it with its terrible comedy acts, low-effort art, and level scores being delivered as radio reviews. It's neat stuff, and I tried my best to get into it!
Despite that, though, I couldn't help but feel like the game mechanics didn't work out. I did my best to do as instructed: capture the laughs, avoid the boos, take the energy obtained from laughs and inject it into sad or meh viewers, but it just never felt like I was in control or satisfied. Maybe there's some sort of strategy that the game has, like if you keep sad people separated from each other they wouldn't spread their sadness as easily or something, but I couldn't find it and it all just felt aimless. There's also a lot of weird jank, like how clicking on audience members would sometimes be ignored for no reason I could discern.
Again, I certainly give points for trying out a unique mechanic, but I felt like it needed more time in the oven in terms of execution.
