Tape Time
A giant fren is on the loose! Joel must stop the fren because his pizza rolls are on the microwave. With only thirty seconds on the clock, Joel can only prepare by finding random items around the island and tape them together to create his own powerful weapon. Many bootlegs around town are also willing to fight to protect the island, but you must select the right choice to recruit them. Once the thirty seconds are up, you only have fifteen seconds to obliterate the giant fren. Can you save the island with your army of bootlegs?

Development History
During a drive to California, Chair and Maple decided to enter the Vinesauce Frenjam under the condition that Chair can put in the minimal amount of effort in the game, essentially planning this game to be a joke entry. After returning home, the team decided to try to a tiny update each day until the final weekend, where they do a final grind session to finish out anything that was not complete. However, as the team continued to make progress, they ended up putting more effort into the game. The amount of effort was still considerably less compared to their previous Vinesauce game jam game Fonzi Fuddy, but they still put in more effort than originally anticipated. They were eventually satisfied with the result, and did not expect to place high. However, they ended up getting first place in the the entertainment category, much to the surprise of everyone.
