Tibby the Joyful & The Puppet Princess (LISA the Joyful repainted)
A downloadable game for Windows
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.
NOTE: The game currently has a chance to crash when healing at the campsite as the animals.png sprite sheet is missing for some reason. It shouldn't be, but apparently it is. You can fix this bug yourself by creating a png and simply naming it animals.png and putting it in the characters folder of the game found in the graphics folder of the game.
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!!!!
All characters appearing in this game and the events depicted within are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. View discretion is advised as this game does not come with specific content warnings.
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!

Did sqrlyjACK!!! give you permission to use modern bubsy?
Might as well be up front and say that literally nothing in this games repainted did I ask for permission for to use, and I would not need to as it's a non commercial silly parody shitpost fangame! It's a games repainted, it's kind of the culture for this genre! I will say this though: Modern Bubsy as a concept, Sqrlyjack actually completely disowned several years ago, and eventually retooled into an OC called Spanky (and that OC does NOT appear in this game at all). Modern Bubsy as she appears in Tibby the Joyful I'd say is the same as like MU Clarence appearing in Brad Has A Pain. Or perhaps even how Sqrlyjack herself made Space Funeral 4 back in the day. Or like literally anything in Tails Gets Trolled. It's a loving homage that still pokes a lil fun. I would like to make it clear that in no way is anything towards or about Modern Bubsy in the game a reflection or criticism towards Sqrlyjack at all. I do not know her personally.
i loved what i played i just couldn't finish the friday night funkin section, it removed the fun out of it for me after 3 hours of tries but from what i played this is really good
I am glad to hear you enjoyed what you could experience of it! The FNF section is what is - all for the bit.
the fnf section is fine, its pretty funny i just suck lol
cough cough,
IM NOT GONNA SUGAR COAT IT
( AAD ) thats it, Its funny how karate combo does 5k Damage Every time I use it
Well, Bee movie script, i hate it
its forced so
please remove the "Force" in it please?
Bee movie script?
No :^)
You must endure. To be rewarded entrance to the gateway to heaven, you must pass the test of great patience.
I INDEED have a skill issue in fnf
frick bf
You just gotta keep at it! You'll get it eventually! It may take you 5, 10, or even 20 times, maybe even more, but you must persist!
Also why is Charcater/Animals Missing?
It made me quit the game
IT IS??? Oh shit I did not realize that.
EDIT: Right, I don't know why that was missing, it shouldn't have been because that sprite sheet is where the spiders are kept. So as of writing, the game crashes when you use the camp site to heal and the RNG determines a spider should appear to poison you when you awake. That's why the crash happens so I gotta put that sprite sheet back in.
also fun fact i did it 50 times, thats how bad i was
bug found: if you kill peppino you still get the peppino ending
and the peppino puppet fight
Oh! Yes that is definitely a bug, that is not intended to happen. I must have forgotten to have the event only activate when you have Peppino recruited.
Thank you, duly noted, I will look into that to fixing that when I release a future bug patch, hopefully sooner rather than later.
and i remembered that you need to add the s to the animal sprite sheet bc if you don't the game crashes (and before the furless ecounter (in the overworld) joel is not censored)
Gotcha gotcha. I had no idea of that so thank you I will get to fixing that ASAP.
Also Joel not being censored was originally part of the gag because he's a man so his boobs don't need to be. But if it's a bother to people I will censor them 🙏 Because I think in the fight itself they ARE censored if I remember correctly so ideally I suppose there should be consistency within the game.
i want to have sex with bubsy
