The initial concept is brilliant. I thought for sure i was going to be adding water to the thing as it spun and sprayed the water out of the container to try and balance the two while juggling something else. Nope, it was an amazing array of tasks, i even let the roaches go through with their plan to see what they'd do and they did what i didn't want. ;-) hiding them in the fog was brilliant. The animations were clear, the puzzle for the bomb seemed hard but curious. :-) cool stuff.

Thank you, @commanderstitch! Honestly, I didn't even think of the watering mechanic. :sweat_smile:
haa this was very fun.. The voice acting crackles me.. even tho i don't speak a word of russian.. Never have i've been so scared of a porly drawn cockroach touching my button
Simple idea, great execution
Fun little short experience ! This kind of game is really carried by the writting and in this game I felt it was pretty well done, it was short but every minute had something to do or something new to add and you can see a lot of though was put into it even in small things like the roaches having a small startup indicator when they spawn or the fish bumping against the glass to move the blender.
Great job !

well done
Super nice game! I had a good laugh, and learned a bit of Russian in the process, which is a nice bonus :D Art is lovely. I love this kind of short narrative games with a bit of gameplay elegantly mixed in it. I hope it's not your last game in the genre. Nice job!

Great Game! Tiny bug at the end where you could still press the button after he was saved.
Simple and funny. :slight_smile: Super engaging intro!
Great game, very adorable and engaging! I thought the voice acting was excellent.. I didn't understand it, but the intonations and mood of it were spot on! The artwork is excellent too!
This was really funny! The game was engaging and I liked how it kept introducing new problems as you went on. The art was great too! I enjoyed this a lot, nice work!

I admit, the temptation was too much and I immediately pressed the button to see what would happen. I enjoyed the simplicity of the game. Not pressing a button is an easy concept to understand. I liked that the mouse was used to reveal the background and you needed to hover around to see the cockroaches. Also I wasn't able to complete the puzzle at the end (if it is even meant to be solved) but I was glad that I didn't immediately lose. Overall this was a nice entry.

Funny little game! Strange concept, but I liked it. I don't think I really understood what happened at the end, though, since I didn't complete the puzzle. Great work!

@captaindaws, glad to see people actually notice this kind of small touches. Thank you!
@spacemonkey, it was the first time I made a game in this genre and I really enjoyed the process. Will definitely consider making something like this again. Thanks for playing!
@hedgy, thank you! I didn't consider this case. Will fix it after jam.
@redhermit, glad voice acting worked. :) I had some doubts about it, but deep inside I knew that good voice acting in any language is better then a tiny repeating sample. Thank you for playing!
@ruddgasm, this is why we changed concept from a badass fish who tries to convince you to press the button. Thanks to @phoenixking who noticed that it would make temptation even more irresistable. Thanks for feedback!
@picross, tbh, it wasn't meant to be solved. I wanted to add some Stanley Parable's vibes to the final puzzle, but kinda failed to communicate it through gameplay. Thank you for trying the game!
Nice entry and awesome voice acting

That was effing amazing, made me smile and laugh! Loved the graphics, the minigames, audio.!! Don't know what would add to the experience. Perfect! :thumbsup:
Great idea ! I love it !!! Very fun :D
Very nicely done! I enjoyed the constant chatting of the fish. I really didn't expect a puzzle game to suddenly appear, but it was a nice surprise, I like puzzle games :)

Fun story game! there was a bug in the bomb puzzle where some buttons wouldn't switch but it was fine in the end.
I like this very much! I haven't been able to complete the bomb puzzle though, so I'm sure I missed some of the chatter from the fish, but he was entertaining!
Haha great work, love the sped up voice acting! 5 stars for humor
I really liked it and it really made me laugh!

LOL this one is really funny! Very nice concept. I love the art and sounds. Also thumbs up for the Linux build 😁️
LOL
That was a very surprising and fun experience, loved the voice acting (thanks for the subtitles!) I never knew where the game would take me and it's great when that happens. Here's the video of my playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2FekepgpMs

When selecting clothing and footwear for playing in the snow, the primary focus should be on warmth and comfort. Layering is the key to staying warm in cold weather. Start with a thin, moisture-wicking base layer, such as a long-sleeve shirt and long underwear. [https://allinsnow.com/](https://allinsnow.com/)
