Tibby the Joyful & The Puppet Princess (LISA the Joyful repainted)

A complete unapologetic butchering of the sequel to a beloved indie cult classic smash hit 2D sidescrolling RPG maker game, LISA the Joyful repainted, also known by its formal title of Tibby the Joyful & The Puppet Princess featuring Bubsy from the Space Funeral series, or just Tibby the Joyful, corrupts the finely crafted world of Olathe Hell, Michigan into a vision of something horrifically unrecognizable through a beautiful repaint makeover. 

A world filled to the brim with references, memes, and gags. Whether or not any of it is even slightly amusing is up to your artistic interpretation. Inspired by the Games Repainted mods of yesteryear, relive the glory days like it’s 2016 again, and dive into the chaotic eye bleeding madness of Tibby the Joyful & The Puppet Princess!

The game in its current release state is 95% done and the full complete base game will come in a future update hopefully before the end of the year. Then, after that, the NG+ mode will be implemented some time next year.

SUPER COOL EPIC FEATURES TM:

• A thematic repainting that’s more than just crushed meme jpegs (though there are still a lot of those) - many hand crafted sprite edits as far as the eye can see loosely tied together by some semblance of an actual story to achieve the highest quality shitpost!

• Join Tibby, Bubsy, and another character (who can only be recruited through secret means who definitely isn’t just in the screenshots for the game nor in the initial game teaser trailer)! Each with their own distinctly new and unique moveset to master!

• Brand new gameplay mechanics that test your skills in speed and coordination with your fingers in ways that definitely were not in the original LISA games!

• New Game plus mode after you’ve completed the game initially! Featuring brand new enemies, cutscenes,  and a completely new unique true ending! It’s like 2 repainteds in one full complete package! Or uh I guess 1 and a half? THIS FEATURE ISN'T IN THE GAME YET SO UHHHH DON'T LOOK AT THIS!!!

• New bonus areas and secret bosses exclusive to Tibby the Joyful that expand all those juicy new lore receptors in the brains that are surely dying to have their itches scratched.

• 32 in-game achievements that serve no purpose whatsoever other than bragging rights and a sense of self satisfaction for all you sick fuck hardcore completionists out there! Note: You cannot currently get all of them in the game.

• ABSOLUTELY NO VORE WHATSOEVER! WOW!!!! THE BEST FEATURE!!!!

QUICK Q&A

Q. Do I need to have played LISA: The Joyful to play or understand this repainted fangame?

A. Between you and me, you can go in absolutely blind, but for the sake of legal please-don’t-fucking-sue-me appeasement, I highly recommend that you simply must play the official games first (which you can learn about on serenityforge.com). Neither I, nor this fangame, are associated with Dingaling aka Austin Jorgensen, or Serenity Forge. This game is also not linked to the actual LISA canon in any way. In fact, the repainted game follows its own narrative so if you don’t know the source materials for any of the character replacements, don’t worry about it! It’s more like a bonus if you do know so you can be in on the gag.

Q. Wait, this isn’t a mod? But the teaser trailer said-

A. For the sake of legal distinction, no. This parody fanwork counts as a fangame due to how expanded the scope of it became. The repaint has an entirely reworked movement system through the LCM script and has outright erased and/or changed a lot of things in the base Joyful - if you were to simply put stuff in the base game via the folders it simply wouldn’t work nor be compatible as it is now pretty much an entirely different game from LISA the Joyful in its structure. So the instructions for this fangame is just download and run it.

Q. What is this fangame’s age rating?

A. It is still rated 18 by the BBFC/PEGI standards and is not for kids as it contains the same content warnings as the original LISA: The Joyful, which are as follows - DRUGS, ALCOHOL, SEXUAL THEMES, VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE, DISTURBING IMAGES. Like the majority of repainted games, the humour and imagery within is also quite crass and potentially offensive at some points so YMMV. 

Q. Why did you decide to host it on your itch.io with your explicit adult works rather than separately?

A. So annoying people and children wouldn’t play it. Think of it like how poison frogs are brightly coloured so you know to avoid them.

Q. My computer / Anti virus programme is going uh oh at the exe file. This is safe right?

A. 100% safe to download. The exe simply extracts the games files into an allocated main folder (like you downloads file) to your choosing.

Q. Can I stream the game?

A. I’m pretty sure you can on YouTube, but due to some of the music I am not too sure if you can on twitch. Maybe in the future someone can help me release a version where all the music is terrible copyright free midi covers *wink wink*.

Q. Can I play this on Mac or Android? 

A. At this current time, unfortunately not. The game heavily utilizes RPG maker's movies function, and on all platforms other than Windows PC, they crash the game. There is currently no work around for this.

Q. I am stuck and need help / I have found a bug that needs fixing in the game!!! 

A. I was well aware of this possibility so just leave a comment below for now. Sorry!
