This was too hard. The controls are just not compatible with my butter fingers. I have to move towards the piece of furniture, then press J/K/L, correct? But if I want to check another part of the furniture, I have to disengage from it? Because sometimes I didn't find anything on a bed, for example, only to get 2 parts from it just by mashing buttons.

On the other hand, the frantic pace, the music and the retro graphics kept me trying. Thanks for the experience!

Pretty hard, but was really nice. I loved the music and retro graphics. I loved the intro too!

I accidentally skipped the intro because I thought Space would advance the dialog box ahead a little bit instead of skipping the whole thing!

It's a fun, fast little idea, though if you just jam the buttons when you reach the areas, it's pretty easy. The music is cool, though, and the graphics remind me of an old Game Boy game (in a good way!).

Good idea, good game, but the controls are what gave it a low-ish rating. Options to change time and only one search control would of been better.

It does look good though, and did keep me trying. (I never did get it, though)

The Music and the Retro Graphics were amazing.

Thou I find the game at pace too fast.

I dig whole concept, idea and execution. Love graphics, music and screen I got to see for completing the game.

laddo-d 2015-08-24 23:19

hella good music

d3giler 2015-08-24 23:25

Loved the Intro! but controls were kinda confusing xD but I guess it goes with you being in a rush so great job!

lolshouse 2015-08-24 23:29

Nice idea, but the execution is a little short and awkward. The mechanic of searching 'under' 'in' and 'on top' things is limited by the fact that I could just mash the keyboard and get everything by hugging the edge of the room in a few seconds tops. I get the impression that this was a short, sweet game made for effect and I think it does that well.

Concept-wise, panic-based games that get you pumped are great. I hope you keep up with these ideas and refine them into fun and more fleshed-out games in the future.

Good fun! I wish it had a bit more replay value so I could keep going!

mantis 2015-08-24 23:51

It was bit too easy to bruteforce - move to every object and press all 3 search buttons at the same time. Maybe delay between usages?

kirilllosev 2015-08-25 00:21

Well. It's hard to connect controls with the action. I just pressed all buttons and went to the door
I like the idea tho

vladirien 2015-08-25 19:40

The music and the mood are great but the game is a bit short, I wish there was more levels. The intro was pretty good also.

wg_phancock 2015-08-25 21:22

I liked how you made getting dressed into a high adrenaline concept. The graphics were good, especially having a variety of costumes.

Could have benefited from a more intuitive control setup, though.

HAHA, Awesome, Loved the intro, graphics, and music.
It feels a bit like a complex Warioware mini-game, but one I don't mind playing over and over again. The only downside is that you can pretty much button-mash your way to victory.

It's definitely one of the most funny AND fun things I've played so far! Good Job!

split82 2015-08-26 18:48

Great job. Really like the music.

superfreak 2015-08-26 21:23

LOVED the intro, theme and music. Great fun :)

theziggy 2015-08-27 19:05

Extremely hard, would be nice if it was easier, as well as more levels. Other then that, good job!

maramasa 2015-08-27 19:37

Music was great and helped create the hectic atmosphere of scrambling to find your things. Retro graphics were cool too, good job!

nikteddy92 2015-08-28 00:07

My god this game is really hard! I like IT! :D
Nice graphic, smooth gameplay and funny theme interpretation , well done!

triplevisiongames 2015-08-29 08:29

WOuldn't let me use keyboard because my pad was plugged in and I didn't realise!

Good implementation of the theme, with a nice framing to why you're doing what you're doing. Graphics and audio work really well together and I was compelled to keep trying to get everything even though I didn't ever manage to!

denis347 2015-08-29 17:47

This was really hard. Nice audio, good game overall!

bigbuggames 2015-08-29 18:09

Fun and quick, the graphics are cool and it fits very well to the theme in my opinion. Took me a few times to get every part on time but I finally did it! Good game!

magenta 2015-08-29 20:27

A neat little game. I immediately went on a button mashing spree but I kept missing my tail :}

rnlf 2015-08-30 20:05

The intro alone is worth a million points :)

steboots 2015-09-01 01:27

That was REALLY hard, but it seemed so simple I had to finish! I think I did it in under 10 tries, simply put, I loved it!

xanjos 2015-09-08 01:32

Nice take on the theme although it's ridiculously hard due to the short time you have to find everything and how context sensitive the actions are.

robothobodanceparty 2015-09-09 06:18

Very simple, yet intense and surprisingly fun! Great work!

careless 2015-09-10 10:53

Really cool idea, took me about 10 goes to finally beat it.

Great simple and effective pixel art, the music really makes you rush through finding everything so fits perfect.

At first was being too impatient hitting the different keys while I should have waited a moment, thought I could button bash my way through.

When I see these smaller more simple ideas it really makes me wish I could think of something like this, always try to do too much. My next goal is to make something more like this for a jam.

Great job! :D

That was so hard and intense! :D no way i would thought winning your game!
but i ended up finishing everything pretty good!
intense!
well done! :)

manimal 2015-09-13 21:59

Very good retro music.
