I got an error trying to play it. It says "file may be corrupted".

Never mind. I got it working. Pretty good!

Here's my Extremely Detailed Criticism of all of the entries:

Mario Takes a Bath
I appreciate "Character Does Mundane Thing" games to an extent, but I feel like it was a bit too barebones. You can leave the bathroom after changing clothes, so you could've done something with that (a hidden streaker ending, perhaps?). Also, while it does use GB colors and GB music, it didn't really feel all that "GB-themed".

Donkey Kong '94 Remix
Spoilered for length's sake.
[+]Spoiler

Gameboy Ware
Now this is what I'm talkin' about. Mario pissing, dancing bananas, 1-2-Oatmeal Gourmet Race, photorealistic dancing men... It's all here, and completely sensible too, since it's wrapped in a WarioWare-esque package! I do have problems with some of the minigames (I still have no idea what I need to do in the cape-flying microgame despite trying it like 6 times, level 3 of the sumo minigame doesn't even seem possible, the different foods in the eating microgame look a bit unclear etc.), but overall, it's a fun experience that I might actually go back to. Basically, this is how you do a "joke game".

So yeah, Gameboy Ware by FabianLC gets my vote.

RE: Joke Game Contest 2: Gamin' on my Boy - Syaxamaphone - 06-02-2019

My vote goes to FabianLC

RE: Joke Game Contest 2: Gamin' on my Boy - OssieTheOstrich - 06-02-2019

I'm going to respond to Roo's criticism if my entry and try to clear things up. Repiles are in bold.

I really have to question how much this game was tested.
I really didn't have much time to test the game, since my schedule was really crazy, and I only had until 7:00 each day to make/test the game.

First of all, whenever you get a game over and continue, your lives are set to 0.
I forgot to test that.

This is amateurishly bad already, but the fact that the game doesn't even save your progress and you have to start all over if you restart the game makes it completely unacceptable.
I wasn't sure if games made for the competitions have save features, and even if they did, I really didn't how to make a good save feature around this time.

In the first level, you can die to a falling object even after you've triggered the victory cutscene.
Strange, I was testing the game and when this scenario happened Mario didn't die.

Both Kongs float in the air, doing nothing, which would normally make for a pretty easy level.
Was this after the "Mario dies in victory cutscene glitch"? Or was the whole level pretty easy?

I forgot to press the switch and went right, which caused me to get stuck here, forcing a restart.
That was pretty much on you.

Level 2 worked well enough, but then I got to level 3 and everything sort of fell apart. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug, but I simply can not get past these vines/ropes.
No matter what button I press, Mario simply doesn't advance to the next rope, and because there's no other way to proceed, I'm kind of forced to conclude my playthrough here.
I really couldn't replicate the climbing mechanics one-to-one, but the best way I found to complete the level was to go to the 8th vine and climb it. Then try to make sure you avoid the Snapjaws.

So yeah, unless the joke of this game was that it's barely functional, it's sadly not going to get very many points from me.

Remind me to not enter a Game Contest ever again.

Also I vote for FabianLC since his entry was unique and really fun.

RE: Joke Game Contest 2: Gamin' on my Boy - Great Destination Tracks 3 - 06-02-2019

Gameboy Ware could be my number 1 because it's so much fun

But Ostrich takes the cake because his game is so faithful to the DK94 game

It's not that you "made a bad game", I think it's just that with your schedule you made a game that was a little too big to be properly tested. Nonetheless, I thought your entry was still pretty good.

Voting closes tomorrow and the winner will be announced!

Uh.... I vote for..... myself? Whoops!

I'm pretty sure I can't actually do that...

Yeah, you can't vote for yourself. You have to vote for someone else.
