Game looks cool! But it seems not to work correctly on my laptop (in FireFox). There are a lot of controls to consider :)

Nice game! I just think it gets too hard too fast. I really liked the artstyle though!

Haha.. I love the boss and his screaming! - Overall a fun experience. The learning curve is quite steep though. - I like the graphics and the humor. Good job!

I enjoyed playing it, but didn't really get the Q-D and W-D controls, they didn't seem to do anything for me. Also the boss wasn't going away even if I spammed S. This was all in the web version.

It's a little bit too much information overload in the beginning in my opinion, but after a few tries the different controls started to make more sense. I like the idea of having this uncontrollable machine with loads of different mechanics you have to keep track of, but I'm still not really sure how to operate the water pressure on the left side. The boss is a good addition as well, though the second time he showed up I just mashed the S button a couple times which made him stop leaving and screaming in agony for eternity. Nice humor, I think if the player slowly learns the different mechanics this could be turned into a fun game, even to play with other people!

I like the idea, definitely need some getting used to. The art style is really neat :3

Mmmm... Confusing... Probably good. Looks good.

Thanks for the feedback everyone ! We'll rembember the importance of a proper learning curve next time :D @sunray : the Q-D controls are here to manually move the geiger jauge indicator. as for the w-d, it was for another module we could not implement into the levels :( @meener-gus : You're supposed to spin the wheel below it to make it go up !

OMG the man yelling scared the shit out of me x) Nice use of the theme !

Really well done! I liked the concept, really worked with the theme. The game is pretty hard, but I believe that's what you were going for. The graphics were pretty fitting as well.

And thanks for a web version.

It looks good, but I believe the web version is not loading correctly.

That…was appropriately frustrating: great work on the theme. I really wish it had more sound effects though. My brain was busy making them up while I played, and I really wanted them to actually be there.

Haha, I this was a very fun little game! I know it is relatively simple, but the whole multitasking element is actually really fun, and gets challenging fast. Also the boss is hilarious!

Nice little game!

exe version said it couldn't launch cause UnityPlayer.dll was missing? You also said it's an installer, usually if a game wants a system-wide install people will pass it by.

illo210 2017-12-09 20:27

Once again thanks for all your feedback guys ^^ @umsingelopugmanco yeah the game was intended to be hard, but not so fast, but the time was a bit missing for that. @tanisrulerofall can you describe your problem a little more? Some people have already tried it, but didn't encounter any problem. @galan yeah we planned for a bit more effect, but didn't have time to find them and put in place, and it makes our game a bit too hard :( @activated-onion, sorry we upload it in the nick of the time so we didn't make an accurate description, it was an executable and not an installer. We fix it, and we hope you can find some times to try it again and have fun with it.

The game was really fun. I like the concept and the sound effects make you really dive into it. As others said, the difficulty is increasing a bit too fast but overall, it was a great experience. Good work !
