I like the concept of this game, withholding information from the player through a skill check. The joke was intriguing enough to keep me motivated to the end and yeah the punchline was pretty good, I laughed.
The only frustrating aspect is that if you get the stars quickly in succession, large chunks of the joke are skipped through. As you have to keep restarting and gradually uncovering more, you generally will hear all of the joke in different runs except in my case, I skipped over several sections toward the end. I got the gist and of course it makes sure the punchline comes through, still it would be nice if you could view the whole joke in sequence once you beat the game.

It may be worth $0.99, but it's not worth my time

I have not yet reached the end of the joke but I still have a great time playing this each time I pick it up. Great to show people, and worth every cent. The Catalog release adds an additional 1 cent joke, and even though I bought this on itch, just knowing there's another 1 cent joke is a good enough joke by itself.

Jesus this game was tough as nails. But it's a great showcase for the crank and has a fun story about a guy who wishes he was a man one inch tall that could bounce on a playdate crank for ten years.

Very fluid animation, but fiendishly difficult. Also I had to pay 100 cents for it. Boo!
