Everything this game lacks on length, exceeds on style.
Lovely mini game.

Thanks Lex! :)
Your style is as cute as ever, and you managed to come up with a very interesting idea with a game. It's short but very sweet. Trial and error is crucial here, and you do have to memorize what each thing does, but you also have to think. I almost failed and the hairdryer saved me in the last second. The animated objects are very cute and all of them feel useful, though in the run where I completed it, the scissors pretty much didn't come into play at all. There are definitely multiple ways to win, and I really like that. That's cool game design. However, there are some problems I would like to point out. Once you select animate, there's no ''back'' option, so you can either animate something you didn't want to animate at that moment, or reload the page, because there's also no restart button. The music is pretty cool for a battle while still being fun, but it can get a bit annoying, which is understandable. The game was made for a jam so you probably didn't have much time to make the music. It also keeps playing after you win, which makes the end screen less happy and more intense than it should be. Otherwise, it's a very fun game with a cool mechanic. Keep it up, and, if you can, please fix some of these issues.

Glad you liked it and took the time to try different things!
The scissors act a bit like the "glass cannon" of the bunch, pretty strong but not the safest to use.
Also, good points, I made a quick update adding a 'back' button from the animate selection, didn't consider that at first but it does make sense to have the equivalent of a 'b' button as you navigate the interface.
Thanks for the review!
but...why does Spirk's tower have a tire and an unplugged hairdryer and --
Butzbo responds:
Well you got me there!... It may be a good time to work on the backstory...
Too short, but worth well made.
Beat it on my first try with 1HP :D
Crit:
* A very creative way of defeating someone as OP as that with the help of the environment.
* Good creativity on how the animated use there abilities(es. the cheese).
* A good non annoying music adds a good icing.
A very good game overall, keep up the good work and do your best on your future projects.
