As the YouTsune Algorithm™, your goal is to keep your viewers in the loop by delivering them personalized videos. Dodge bullets, navigate through menus and manage your time!

Q: "What the heck does YouTsune even mean?"

A: YouTube + Kitsune

Enjoy :)

Really loved graphics!

neat idea, milk mini game is my fav

Thanks! Contrarily, I feel like that's the one that gets most repetitive (not surprising considering all but one of the bullet patterns were added in the last 3 hours or so), though if I could put in the grazing mechanic from Deltarune that I envisioned they would probably be more enjoyable.

Look forward to an update post-jam, we'll probably work on one.

I really like the clean visual!

Niceeeeeeeeee
