Nice art found the copy minigame a bit punishing :P
great game! I love how the line copying minigame was pretty forgiving as long as you got the general shape right i wonder how it works behind the scenes.
beautiful!
Awesome game! Really enjoyed playing it :thumbsup: I managed to survive for 1600years not sure if thats so good. Drawing this spiral thing killed me all the time... :laughing: Well done!
Nice idea! Really liked the game. This is perfection.
That was suchan amazing game, I can't even put into words. Fun to play, lots of variety, timed challenges that make you stressed!! The art style is gorgeous - heck even the credits page has its own unique assets! Loved the little easter eggs too (the TARDIS on the cabinet).
Thank you everyone for your comments! We really appreciate your feedback and are glad you like how submission :two_hearts:
@florianbald we polished the game during the last few hours, and audio bugs should be gone :) I've also added a bit of audio to some actions we initially missed, and put my heart into the Game Over scene :v:
@3amsoda took quite some time for @Shinyo to get it right, but basically every drawing is compared pixel by pixel to the reference texture, if it matches it's 1 point, otherwise we check if any adjacent squares were colored and give 0.5 point if it's just a pixel away -- otherwise it's 0 points for this square :smile:
@xschaumix that's a good score, the game speeds up quite fast in the end... My personal best is 3400 but I was on mobile :smirk:
@pavocado glad you noticed (and liked!) the TARDIS drawn by our artist @Tayteus :blue_heart: We tried to put as much easter eggs as possible while not compromising the delivery of the much needed assets for the game :laughing:
beautiful and polished game, best one that i've played on the jam good job! =D
Art - nice
Oh man, the artwork, music and overall mood & feeling of the game is great. It's really polished, even the details like lights flickering and insects flying add value to the already great visual experience. Gameplay is rather simple, with Among Us-style minigames, which at first are kinda easy, but it gets kinda difficult rather quickly (which is good!). I really love it, great job!
Really funny game with impressive pixel art.
Sweet!! I love the stylization and the feel to it. Its not fun to be god but this is :)
Thank you guys :hearts:
@deav we had harder mini-games (the lights one was a "Lights Out"-style game for example, where changing one light affected the surrounding lights), but it was really difficult to balance the time it took to complete mini-games vs the time it took for the gauges to fill in the short amount of time we had to playtest, so in the end we leveled down the difficulty to keep the game fun but not frustrating.
I'll pass along all your comments on the art to @Tayteus :smile:
Excellently made! Not really sure if you implemented an endgame yet cause I've yet to find one, anyways really polished and well done! (might I recommend adding a windows download link, WebGL makes the game run at 20 fps which is a bummer)
Amazing graphics, absolute polished game and that elevator music in main menu - cool, haha. But that drawing machine was a real annoying thing for me with my perfectionism. And, had your artist got something like twitter or artstation to post pixelart?
@aquilart once a gauge at the top is filled, you get a Game Over screen with your score -- didn't you get one?
@cerieyele glad you enjoyed the sound design :smile: Our artist @Tayteus has an instagram account ([@autostrip_tristan](https://www.instagram.com/autostrip_tristan/)) but as you can see he usually posts comics there, producing pixel art for our game was actually the challenge he put himself up to this week-end :sweat_smile: (I just edited a video of our twitch livestream where you can see him draw [Earth exploding](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1168042589) :v: I'll try to edit more clips in the coming days)
Fantastic work, you guys seem to be a great team! Best art I've seen so far!
I found the minigames a bit hard to play on a touchpad but the mood is super strong in this one :)
:clap: :clap: :clap:
interesting game, I especially liked the graphics. I only found the difficulty jump after like 5 minigames to big. Great entry anyways!
@substain you're right! We could implement only 2 difficulty settings so the step is a bit high... 5 games in easy mode, then the rest is hard mode :sweat:
@marc-grabow I've updated the description to warn users :smile: thanks for the feedback!
Haha, fun game! I especially liked the graphics.
Well done! I appreciated the difficulty curve and the mini games were fun an creative!
I love the among us type minigames, really glad to be able to have played this! Graphics are outstanding and the mood is super nice!!
Tons of fun! I really liked that failing a minigame didn't lose the game directly, but that it was just a time-waster while I was spinning plates. Really enjoyed it, solid LD entry!
Thank you again for your feedback :smile:
This is really fun and polished, and a clever take on the theme! I appreciate the level of detail you put into it. I especially liked the color mixing minigame. I wish I could pet the cat!
I like the management side of this game, it feels a bit unique. Really polished and solid entry.
@tetrapteryx I had to pester @Tayteus for hours before he drew the cat for me haha :smile: Glad you liked the color mixing mini-game, that's my baby :stuck_out_tongue: We had a lot of discussion about it, whether we should go with substractive or additive mixing, because people might not be used to additive, but it turned out great I think.
@hotowlgirls thanks :thumbsup:
This game had a lot of quirky charm with the story and setting. The minigames were pretty challenging, particularly the color making game (but probably just requires practice). I liked how the minigames would switch out and scale with difficulty too! The artwork was really top notch and overall this was a nice, polished entry that could maybe just use a tweak in the sfx volume or a slider for volume. Hope that doesn't bring you down cause i had a lot of fun playing regardless!
Task management games are always awesome!
This is definitely one of the best games I've played in this jam, the art and music is great and the mini games are amazing!
Really nice game, the mini games were challenging and intuitive the graphics and music well made and the theme was right on spot! This was a little gem in this jam! I only lasted 1300 years best to give it a retry to get at least at our times!
A very cool game! The concept of perpetually running around to 'extinguish fires' was very well conveyed. Loved the humor too.
Good job all around!
Great game!
nice art and music. cool concept. it was easy at beginning, but suddenly it became so hard. I lasted 1200, failed because I couldn't handle the global warming. lol.
Great artwork. I thought the remembering part was too hard and I saw some lights going off while I have succeed the switch lights task. Overall great job guys :D
@sanemsky Yeah, the lights go off on purpose if you take too much time to light them all :smile: the goal is to keep you on your toes at all time :wink:
That was really fun! Loved the art especially! One of the best ones in the jam for sure!
Wow, art, sound, feedbacks and graphic all work together to give players a smooth experience. What i love most it's the legibility of your minigames. It's a perfect example of "show don't tell". Thanks to this legibility even in the middle of the rush is possible to learn new minigames without wasting too much time. Hats off!
Great art and fun little minigames, good job!
Catchy puzzles, but it starts too hard. Liked the design and references. And I'd rather use another font in messages and less text, to make it more comprehensible due to the dynamics of your game. Cool creation, anyway!
@ardorugus I take note of your suggestion! At first we wanted a bit more narration in the game but were short on time, so I think we tried to cram too much on the first screen, acting as a mini tutorial... (I had the idea to put a fully fledged user manual inside the game for each machine but @Tayteus already had a lot on its plate at this point :sweat_smile: )
Really great little game, the graphics and general feel of the game were incredibly polished for a jam game - loved it! My only comment, and it's minor, would be more clarity on the colour minigame for which way the levers were meant to be going. Really great entry though
Hey, I got a chance to play your game! Really, really good. The pixel art combines with quality lighting effects makes for some great visuals. Sound was nice, but the volume control would be great. The alarm would continue to play even when I was playing a mini-game, which made me think more than one things were going off. I only have a few small suggestions. On the copy mini-game, a light gray line to trace would be nice, and sometimes I would have a terrible drawing and pass, while have a great drawing a pixel off and fail. It would also be nice to know which mini game I am going to play, some are quicker than others. Good entry!
Great graphics! Some games are way difficult than other. Reminds me my prev LDJAM entry, same concept of bunch of minigames))
Incredible game! It's featured in part six of my let's-play-series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcMY-HqW9fU
Oh no, political conflicts! A very fun game with a very consistent visual style, well done! I've seen a surprising number of "a bunch of random minigames" entries this jam, but nonetheless, this one is great.
It must be one of the best games of this jam! The best pixel art, really the design, the color palette, the characters, the style, everything seemed perfect to me. Those mini games in each machine seemed great, excellent idea and execution! xD
Thank you everyone :two_hearts:
Sooooooo coooool !
Really liked all : graphics, theme, minigames and sounds (especially on game over screen !).
I just found that the audio is not always at the same level, it may need to be more balanced (for example, the success diing-diing is too loud).
But great game !
A nice small game! A very pretty package with some nice sound effects behind it, and a dumb story that fits the unstable theme nicely to boot. Great job! There isn't really anything I had problems with - it was just fun.
@pikario apologies for the sound! None of us were very experienced with sound design, but everyone's feedback here has been valuable and I'm sure in our next game we'll be better :thumbsup:
@rjmarzec thank you :smile:
Funy game, nice graphic. Well done.
It seems like a pretty fun game. Maybe if I had free time, I would try to play too. I want to play it. Thanks for sharing! I played various interesting games like this at different jobs when I was younger. My favorite was a game where we delivered newspapers and food. And the funny thing is that now I work as a delivery man. Yeah, maybe it is a coincidence, but this one seemed the most appropriate job for me from all the part-time job offers that I found on https://moneylifewax.com/best-part-time-jobs/, and btw I didn't fail.
It was interesting to get acquainted with your game, I'm also doing a similar thing now. True, recently I began to notice that my work takes too much time, and therefore I began to develop a digital addiction. Perhaps someone here also encountered a similar problem? Personally, they helped me cope with this, the advice from this article https://diariolalibertad.com/sitio/2021/12/16/como-hacer-una-desintoxicacion-digital-y-darle-a-tu-cerebro-un-descanso-de-los-dispositivos/ . Here I learned how you can do a digital detox and give your brain a break from all these gadgets.
