CYKA BLYAT MY REACTOR IS GIVING ME TINY PUZZLES, IF FAIL MY VILLAGEMEN DIES TO EXPLOSION AND NUCLEAR EXPOSURE, KURWA 草你妈的
That was pretty fun and more intense than I expected. The graphics could be improved and some of the panels seem far harder than others which makes lasting long a bit random. I managed to make it to 60.52 second after a few tries and I really appreciated the leaderboard names. It's also cool that you managed to include so many modes in an LD game.
Good job ! It made me think of KTNE. I'm too slow for ranked mod XD
Wow what a game, it was super difficult but super fun. Definitely good call recommending to do the tutorial.
A cool idea and well executed with lots of polish. I may be wrong but at times it felt like panels would disappear before their timer had expired? Great work nonetheless :D
This game was a lot of fun. I appreciate the tutorial, it was quick but very helpful. It felt very overwhelming at times, but for this kind of game that's a good thing! The upgrades were nice but I wasn't sure how to get coins, I assume it is random. I like the inclusion of the different modes. Also great you included a colourblind mode.
Good job!
It's like Keep Talking and Nobody Explode,, but it's on crack, without the 3D and a friend to help you. Great polish entry, it doesn't look like it was made for a Game Jam. I love it!
By the way, great ads

Thanks for the comments! Coin drops are indeed random, and some panel types last longer than others (you can use this to your advantage by prioritizing appropriately and getting yourself some breathing room). Panels close the moment their last timer pellet disappears - a small grace period would probably have been good there so it doesn't look like it's closing early.
Keep Talking and No One Explodes: The Desktop Game. Enjoyable. I'd have liked more panels but the panels that did exist were gratifying and fun. Very cool idea. GJ
Really nice game, got me hooked up. I lasted up to 53 seconds, but the randomness of coins and bonus items/helpers is too....random (normal game, not ranked or anything, just right after the tutorial). The music was cool but quite loud to me. Otherwise, a nice (stressing? haha) little game. congrats!
Very nice game! I like different puzzles, it requires a lot of attention. Good job!
Really cool game. Extremly difficult, but fun. And thanks for the colorblind mode! At first I had to do some guesswork which is green and which yellow. You seemed to think about everything. The rest of the game is like earlier mentioned: really polished and many features for such a short time.
Okay, this one is my favorite of all the games I've tried so far. Super fun, hard but with a greatly balanced learning curve, amazing sound design and feedback to the player... Super polished and amazing game. I got to 330.17 seconds but not on the ranked one, so I couldn't submit it. And I'm really thinking about trying get a highscore haha. Great work altogether.
I love this game. It's like an even more hectic version of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.
I love the music design. The fact that the wrong parcels (ads, 'do not push' buttons) highlights when the time is running out, but the sounds of time running out only sound for the good ones. Maybe the sound that warns the player that you are running out of time for the 'push' button parcel is a little too late, I think. But the timing for the others I think is reeeeally good. Like, the fact that if you hear at the same time that a 6&9 parcel and a 'pick the geometric figure' parcel are running out of time, you know you have to prioritize the fast ones, bc there is less time left. But without forgetting about the 6&9 ones. It makes the game about attention and knowing how to prioritize. It reminds me of a lot of Lumosity attention games that I used to play.
I also love the design of the mini puzzes. The possible results for the arithmetic operations is really good, idk if you have a really large pool of options or you programmed a good algorithm for that.
Maybe the fact that if you click the wrong option in some parcels, you don't instantly lose and instead the time left for that parcel is reduced (which I think is good for the missclicks with the 9 and 6) is not that clear... because I don't get why if you chose the wrong result for the arithmetic operations you don't lose, but if you cut the wrong cable, you do. I think I'd prefer to only have that license for the 6 and 9 puzzle.
I love the fact that when you lose, the game show you the parcel that made you lose. Although maybe that animation is too slow and could be omitted with a click to see the ranking before the next round.
Overall, my fav game for this ludum dare so far <3 I think it's a good idea supersuper well implemented and polished.
Amazing idea awesome game, if devilishly frustrating. (It doesn't help to play on a trackpad haha)
My highscore: 180.57s
Very nice game. For me the progression, even in normal mode, was little bit too fast, thus I didn't score very high. The game idea is great, fitting the theme greatly and very well implemented. It feels very polished. The music is very fitting to the stressed feeling of this game.
I liked that you try to confuse by writing the word 'red' in blue colour and that sort of stuff. The biggest problem for me were the 'Find the odd'-panels.
If there was an online ranking list, I'd try hard to get better. :smile:
I think this is the only LD game that made my hand sweat :sweat_smile:
Only played twice but got a great run with 432.77! Had a lot of fun!
Also, the music was perfect for this. Really added to the stress!

SO STRESSFUL. A+. Love it.
Here is the VOD of me playing your game on stream: (Timecode 1:38:50) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjDKYcRkBKQ
Very fun. A fast-paced defuse-type game. The tutorial made the game easy to understand, and the endless gameplay is challenging.
