WOW amazing graphics and sound, and the idea great!

Greatly fun! Moar people need to play this.

ah, seems like we had similar thought patterns as far as "screening" goes. Great minds think alike, eh?
An excellent game, by the way, also. Lots of interesting choices to be made. It might have been nice to have the ability to improve subject mood slightly by skipping training, but I imagine that might create an imbalance that I haven't thought of.

This one is really freakin cool
You deserve a top 100 with this one

billrizer 2014-12-09 02:04

Very well polished - nicely done!

This is for sure the most innovative and different game I've played so far. It just felt kind of unfair that you couldn't train people up because they would feel bad(or whatever you called it). That's the way the game is though.

The game does not load when I go to the Web link?

This was fantastic! What a great concept, and I loved the art style!

Solid art and sound make for a great atmosphere. The game's sense of humor adds a lot to the experience. The concept and goal are clear and well presented.

It is a bit arbitrary at first what tests will produce what attribute in your subjects. It's also unclear what chance you have of succeeding with your selected team. These made me feel dis-empowered, as my decisions did not seem to be informed.

This was a very fun concept, and the sound was incredible. I really liked how smooth the graphics were, too. Sadly, you could have worked on the dialogue.

egos 2014-12-09 02:12

so polished !!!! the game is good to release. For me just too much text but ist great entry

Brilliant game. The game looks really well polished and I love the graphics.

Really nice work. The game idea is awesome and there's humour! =D

parapup 2014-12-09 02:13

This was very exciting.

lazerbreadgames 2014-12-09 02:22

I'm in love with everything about this game. Now only is it funny and interesting, it introduces a very interesting mechanic where Your best operatives often times aren't thrown into every mission.

jpcote 2014-12-09 02:40

Awesome game. I would play a lot on mobile !

anikki 2014-12-09 10:15

Great idea. Would have been nice if the job briefings would have received their own dedicated space in the interface. Needlessly clunky to have them as sheets in my opinion.

suppagumma 2014-12-09 11:38

Thanks a lot for the nice words :)

@Anikki I (Daniele) have a thing with papers so I just love having those papers apart. But that's completely based on personal kink and I agree it would be nice to at least have an additional mini-panel with the mission's required stats.

@KudukuForgiveUs I added a little explanation of how the stats work. It's not as simple as I wrote, but those are the basics :P Sadly we didn't have time to add animations that actually showed that stuff happening visually.

@NickMakesGames Loved your game and your concept. Even if I felt terribly stupid because it took me quite a while to understand how it worked :D

ramonparaiba 2014-12-09 13:19

i loved this pixel art stile... The theme's choice is very interesting too. Congrats

dsoft20 2014-12-09 13:56

Nice entry! I really like the graphics & audio.
The gameplay is fine too!

ccontinisio 2014-12-09 18:56

Great graphics and sound. I love the 'screening' idea, you're one of the few that hasn't taken the theme literally, good job on that! (5/5 on the theme for sure!)

stvr 2014-12-10 13:14

Best game I've played this jam! Great graphics, highly polished, and very funny. Amazing work!

gungnir 2014-12-10 15:25

I'm getting: Failed to download data file.
Bummer, I wanted to play this.

gungnir 2014-12-11 14:01

Ok, the GameJolt version worked fine.

I wish there was more of an overall goal as a motivation. It felt a little aimless.

It looks and sounds excellent though.

Thanks.

frump 2014-12-12 00:27

This was all around excellent, I really enjoyed playing it.

aaronjbaptiste 2014-12-12 12:07

Really really cool. Glad I found this game. Thanks bro

nicepenguins 2014-12-14 21:28

Great concept, but a little bit random. I like the music and the mood.

urbanlogicgames 2014-12-15 18:47

Wow, this is really clever. Great use of the theme. The game was pretty easy to play despite all if the info onscreen. I'd agree with comments that the UI could do with some streamlining, but art and music are great. One of the best games I've played so far.

greytram 2014-12-20 12:29

Great game!
I love the espionage setting and the humor in every description.
Great graphics and the music is just fine, speeding up when field action starts :-)
Very well done! Would like to see these agents in new adventures soon!

chaoseed 2014-12-20 12:51

Weird, but interesting! I like the idea a lot, even though it's morbid. The graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth. It's quite hard, though...

alpha_rat 2014-12-20 14:52

Great job!

sirdorius 2014-12-20 18:50

Excellent overall, as we've come to expect from you guys!

mathmadlen 2014-12-22 22:14

I loved it! Funny, well thought-out, witty, with beautiful art - great work!

mechabit 2014-12-23 15:32

very well done, difficult to see how to keep playing past the first couple missions as I keep failing them without knowing why.

phocker 2014-12-26 16:23

i like everything about this game - with a few more elements it could be a great game

erkberg 2014-12-28 00:12

That was fantastic! Really liked the idea and the gameplay, also the visuals and audio were great, and the humor even more so. One of the best games I played this LD, amazing job!

suppagumma 2014-12-29 13:45

Thanks for all the comments :) We are preparing the design to develop it into a full game, with a kinda complicated story and a lot more stuff to do (but still focusing the game on a screening process).

Fantastic game.

zi 2015-01-20 08:39

Just got around to playing this. Awesome stuff! :D
