Gameplay is quite innovative. Very good and fun game. The only drawback is the graphics.
very cool game, everything is clean. Like the graphic and humour
Congrat!
Amazing ! I've loved playing your game, it make me laugh. The idea is really good and pixal art style is impressive. The only drawback is music too repetitive.
Nice work !
Very polished game! The PixelArt is perfect. Music is nice. Gameplay is interesting. Overall very good!
Hi... congrats on submission. Game is nice, like the graphics. Its for a mood when you are a bit relaxed. well done
Ahahah, really fun! I killed him and saved my life! Good game idea and nice work!
Wow, this is a cool game, it's a very neat take on the theme. I accidentally got all of my research assistants killed and ended up dying myself, they hired the worst person to take care of a mutant bunny creature. Good Job.
The game looks polished with nice humor and atmosphere. There's not much gameplay other that mostly following the task list but it was still a fun experience. I like the art, I see you're consistent in you ludum dare entries :P
EDIT: One remark, the controls are a bit inconsistent, you use space, enter and E for confirmation.
Hahhaaha! Funny, very comic - loved the music and the visuals. Well done on a unique spin on the theme!
Genuinely got scared shitless when ***it*** happened. Still, only a few sacrifices were made. Solid entry! :D
Nice game, was fun playing on the stream! Jacks' seal of approval!
I very much enjoyed playing this game. The graphics are great, very consistent and the animations are flawless. I was a bit sad when I found out it was just those three assignments, especially because I only shocked the subject twice and nothing more happened, but it makes plenty of sense in the 72-hour context. This would absolutely be a game I'd enjoy playing if it were a bit more fleshed out. Congratulations!
nice game, took a few attempts to work out the right combinations but it was fun to see the different outcomes. the camera switching was a nice touch and the animations for the reactions were entertaining
nice sprites and the game is also fun!
Chewbacca? You captured Chewbacca ? Ohh, pooor thing... So since you've been naughty and mean to him... here is some feedback. So at the start you are thrown out in a room where basically everything is interactable, and this is a nice thing, but to know what you have to do you need to go to the Computer that is 3 interactive things away from you. I think you should give the player an immediate way to know what is up, and what you need to do. The graphics reminds me Monkey Island for some reason. Once I got the grab of it, I enjoyed the various reaction of the Chewbacca guy. But the way assignment works are not really straightforward. The inconsistency on the keys to press (E for interact, SPACE for activate, ENTER to enable) is a bit confusing. Good try, thanks for your entry. And I feel bad for the two guys I just killed for the experiment :(
"attempt to apply the following stimuli with losing control of the subject ..." what ? don't understand
I needed to come back to the game and try to provoke him to see what happens... And ... wasn't disappointed!! I got killed Chewbacca and the researcher together <3 Coool stuff :D
too me a while to work out the right combinations but eventually got it! only complaint is the inputs. I would make it so that pressing escape closes the computer and you would only have one action key. solid entry, good job!
Had fun with this! The interface was slick and the atmosphere was great. It was fun to see the creature responding well to my researcher and eventually eating some people! Good horror elements. The art was lovely. I think I would have perhaps assisgned the E key to all actions, like interacting with the computer etc.
Unique concept and well put together. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your entry!
Thank you all for playing!
@pfs, @notapixelstudio, @tulipekoni, @madebychaz The thing with the controls is true and I noticed even I get confused by it. It's a remnant from when I started development because I thought I would use more buttons than just 'E'.
@notapixelstudio Could be Chewbacca, but its big ears and front teeth suggest something else to me, perhaps we need more research? The tutorial is in the computer, which was a bit of a quick fix to make sure I could get it done. Some parts are rather unclear and some of the messages that are shown when something happens do not really catch people's attention or are vague. A lot more people did not understand when and why they should call security for example, so I need to make the messages a bit more clear.
@iasper The game does actually continue after you trigger it twice. You can call security to continue, but it will slowly get closer to breaking out. Would love if you give it another try, since there are some great animations for failing the game too ;)
A well polished game, simple and fairly quick to go through. Would definitely like to see more of it. I liked how the failure scenarios played out and the final report at the end. Would definitely like to see more of this! The only thing is the control scheme between moving around and the computer felt a little off, they probably should be more in line or similar so you don't have to remember to mentally switch between two different control schemes.
I like the style, computer controls are a bit cumbersome as others have stated. Finished it on first try with everyone alive, then I had to try out what happens if you aggro the hare.
A fun little game. I trying to keep the assistants a live. Did struggle with the computer though. Graphics and theme were really well done.
Really cool game ! I love the gameplay that we have to discover what to do by testing things around :)
My first full 5 rate in this jam, Congratz!!! The game is really super fun to play, like a scifi fan i enjoyed so much the mood. The graphics, the music, pixel art, all in this game is great!!! I find a issue, in my first play the music was off, and before 2 turns the music was playing two times overlaping the other music. But overall you game is amazing!!!
Love everything about this! Such a well-rounded and functional game. Great art and so many cool animations. The world you have built here is awesome and led me to check out your other LD games. Revolutionaries and Pixels is super cool! Looking forward to more. Thanks for the game!
