i like the simplicity, good stuff :ok_hand:

mkraw 2020-04-21 00:05

Looks Goood!!

timo-strating 2020-04-21 00:05

I did not got it to work on linux using wine. A web version of linux build would be nice. The art on the images and the sound that did work were very good.

owinmowe 2020-04-21 00:06

I'm so lost yet so entranced. I really like it!

maxim218 2020-04-21 00:08

It is a wonderful instrument to control processes in the game. Wonderful style like game "Team Fortress 2". I enjoyed playing.

rocio-michi-ojeda 2020-04-21 00:11

i like it!!!! looks soo good

riadazz 2020-04-21 00:16

couldnt resist clicking every button possible and really liked the graphics, but after the first loss i couldnt click anything anymore i dont know if thats a big or i dont know what to do but overall it was fun

doriansnowball 2020-04-21 00:24

Good job on making this game! It's really well done! Two things I would have made different: 1. Maybe no instant fail. More like you can make three fails and after that, it's game over. 2. Randomize the order of the elements and maybe even randomize the solution to the element! But overall you made a incredible game!

bdiebeak 2020-04-21 00:25

@riadazz did you stuck on this screen? unknown.png you should simply press left mouse button.

vidim888 2020-04-21 00:27

The second "level" with this pizza like button pattern - hard to figure out how to do it, because you can't see both desk and press buttons, which makes it annoying to play as well. Really amazing estetics, love art, nice music! Reminds me of KTANE, but without rule book :D

bdiebeak 2020-04-21 00:30

@doriansnowball Thank you for suggesting! 1. Instant fail - key moment of our game. 2. Yeah, we want to make random stuff, but we have not had enough time.

bdiebeak 2020-04-21 00:31

GUYS THANK YOU ALL -------------------

thedashdude 2020-04-21 01:26

Reminds me of Please, Don't touch anything. Neat to try and figure everything out. The lack of tutorial was a little rough, but also was the whole fun of the game. Maybe make a small initial puzzle just so players don't think everything is futile from the start. I was looking away from the first clue the first few times, so it took me a while to get invested.

ilprinny 2020-04-21 01:49

The second puzzle took me an EMBARESSINGLY long time to figure out, I and a blast figuring it out. After level 2 the others were pretty easy to solve. This one hit me good, the sudden deaths were fun as all hell, the options being built into the machine was perfect. I think it might have been fun to do the puzzles in any order, some things might have had to change to compensate that change but I think figuring out what buttons lead to what part might have been interesting.

svetoslav-godzhev 2020-04-21 01:55

One hell of a game. My city was blown around 50-60 times until I figured it out :D. Maybe different levels with increasing number of puzzles and their difficulty would make the learning curve not so steep.

2020-04-21 05:44

Nice work, definitely a "Please Don't Touch Anything" vibe. Only real issue I had was the last puzzle - I kind of lucked into it but not sure why. Also would have been nice to save audio settings between attempts as the sirens were a little annoying after a while. :v:

matsuya 2020-04-21 10:57

Really loved the simple but interesting concept. Felt like a genius every time I solved a puzzle lol, the graphics are really impressive too.

nogam 2020-04-21 11:06

Reminds me of Don't touch anything .... and that's a good thing. It's maybe a little too hard to understand what is the good button but that's okay . Good job !

cowgummiboy 2020-04-21 11:24

It took me quite a while until i understood that i couldnt just solve the puzzle i wantet but had to do them in the right order, so i got very frustrates in de beginning. But once i got it it was a very fun experience. The graphics are very cool and the sounddesign is amazing. The puzzles are nicely balanced and it fells good once you solve them, eventough they felt a litte too easy but maybe thats beacause i figured out how to solve every puzzle until i understood that you have to solve them in a specific order. I personaly could have used a turtorial but i guess it's part of the puzzling fun to find out everything yourselfe.

brendev 2020-04-21 16:40

I felt it was balanced quite well, only took me 4 tries to complete it. I was impressed by how logical the puzzles were. I loved the art, except the explosion effect as that felt very out of place for the style. Other than that, great job!

ridde 2020-04-21 18:44

really cool atmosphere, liked it a lot

picross 2020-04-22 05:02

Great game! I like the puzzles a lot. Cool graphics too, good coloring and theme. Nice work!

paologinefra 2020-04-22 08:57

Really nice graphics (except for the explosion effect) and fun gameplay, some times a bit too chaotic but maybe it's wanted

dedjo0 2020-04-22 11:15

What a good game ! I really love how the option are built into the game :) The music is very good too

sigo 2020-04-22 13:13

Really good ! Loved the rewind effect.

epsulon 2020-04-22 15:30

nice game concept, logo reminds me react library :D

overmolo 2020-04-22 16:43

Absolutely wonderful! I enjoyed a lot and the A3-5 joke is hilarious! One of my favorites :D

kiririn51 2020-04-22 16:58

One of my favorites from the jam so far. Really nice comedic take on a stressful situation!

rubentipparach 2020-04-22 22:30

great music, wonderful artwork!

langotriel 2020-04-24 12:38

Where to start :thinking: The art direction was fantastic. The original textures, the amount of detail, the overall visual package: all really well done!

On top of that, the auditory space created by the chaos of sounds alongside the calming jazz was wonderful in its own right.

A quick replay feature is also pretty genius and encourages retrying, which I did many times to figure out how to make red lights go green and stop the horrible sirens XD

Well done! It's a great entry!

ttyana 2020-04-25 08:13

Awesome game! 20 blown up cities out of 10! Now I want that epic jalousie controller in my apartment.

molpe 2020-04-29 01:42

This is AMAZING! Love the jazz music :D I wish there was more ♥
