really fun! started to lag out around 250, tho

Pretty fun! It's strikingly similar to Space Team.

That could definitely get addictive, I definitely need to be more awake for this one.

Not sure if it was something to do with my setup or the game but I couldn't turn the crank handles at first when they spawned in.

I started this rate session with that game. I'm not sure I will sleep tonight, but I managed (hardly) to get 263 (or was it 267? yet forget), and I doubt I will retry it - I need to stay a little mind safe. :P Well in the theme, and well done.

Just broke 400 before giving up Tough game, very true to the theme, I like it :smile:

I love it. Weird games about infuriating interfaces are the best.

Well, this got stressful fast. Kind of reminds me of "Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes".

I liked the game. Very true to the theme, started to lag a bit once i broke 200 with all the things to do. I really liked how it forces you to multitask, and multitask well. You soon learn to listen for simon, click buttons only when flashing, and zero in on answers only in trivia. I don't understand the pictures one, and didn't get farther than that.

All that said, only improvements I can think of other than fix lag are add some sort of very minor story, and to maybe have some powerups to freeze panels in higher levels. (if you want to keep with the theme, maybe frozen panels then go double the speed to catch up)

But even if you don't add those, its a good game as is. :)

Wasn't sure what I was doing or why, but I kept doing it!

Great game! I hate it!

Interesting and super chaotic.

Nice take on the theme! It's like a one-person Space Team! Never figured out what the cranks were for, and since it's kind of hard to turn them, I just gave up on them. Turns out they don't drop to zero?

Interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BQct2dB93U
