I went through I think... 3 days? Nothing really changed so I gave up. If there was further content you should probably hint at it so I know my effort is not in vain, I tought the sitting sprite was pretty charming :P and the games presentation is very clean which I like, looks like you didn't have much time so I can see why, still props for participating even with so little time.

You definitely didn't have enough time and that's a pity, as it was an interesting idea for a story. Great job, anyway, and I hope you don't let this project die now!

Not much to say. I made it to the end, but I'm not really sure what happened. I did get a bit of a chuckle out of the game though, mostly from the goofy text and…whatever happened at the end.

This was definitely interesting! I'm not sure what happened at the end, but I think that I made button happy again? Would love to know more about the mystery and the thought process that went into this.

Interesting idea, I get the impression you didn't get it finished which is a shame as with some more content this would have been really interesting. Cool art, and great effort now just keep adding to it, it definitely has potential! Well done :smiley:

Only noticed on the third day that time moves faster if you press the button. The previous days were quite boring to sit through... Also at first I didn't figure out how to progress between days (I still don't get why I have to go in the locker).

What exactly is the meaning of the end? I don't really get it :/

Confusing, but lovely art... would be interesting to see where you take it!

Congratulations on finishing a game in 14 hours! Guess even a full weekend still has time for a Ludum Dare entry!

Fun, zany concept. A bit light on substance of course, but hey, you finished it, and it's reasonably fun. :)

A very strange game ; the story is mysterious and interesting, it would be better if it was revealed through the game, rather than in the LD game description: I finished the game, but I had to then go to the description to understand what did just happen! And, by the way: what's the shining thing swinging from the ceiling?

This is a nice start for a little puzzle game, but as you noted, it probably needs more content to be really satisfying. It's clear you ran out of time, and had more planned. It's a shame - I would have liked to see where you were going with it.

I did like the aesthetics of the game - the robot and its interactions would be fun in a more fleshed-out puzzle game. Reminds me of the old "point and click" adventure games somewhat.

Graphically, I liked the simplicity of the presentation. One suggestion would be to make the robot a different color than the background wall so that it doesn't get so lost against the background.

Interesting concept. I really enjoyed the little surprise / puzzle thing you had at the end and could see some room for other cool things. Would be awesome to see this game fleshed out and perhaps some music / sound added. But for 14hrs work, It was terrific. Well done on your entry, keep it up!

Interesting, but I did not understand what to do))
