Great mood! Having some feedback for placing the items back would help communicate some level of progress to the player.

Really cool game ! Maybe it needs more challenge !

Nice atmosphere and gameplay! The controls are a little difficult to work (at least for me), overall well done!

Mercyless game, but quite fun! Did not manage to win, as the stuff kept falling to the floor, but i got pretty close ( i think?) Dope song as well

The music worked well but what I really liked was the art style, the game looked amazing. The gameplay was challenging, I think the pickup should be a bit more forgiving, I found it extremely difficult to pick up pens.

Lots of great entries this jam, but I gotta say this one hit me right in the feels. The ambience, the music, the art style ; It made me remember the joy of a good discovery. The soundtrack makes you feel like a freaking super hero (It's awesome). The Gameplay's fluid as hell. I mean... Great f*ing job guys.

The jazzy boat atmosphere is cool and it's a funny take on the theme, great job!

Probably one of the best games I've played so far this jam. Really fun, took me a round to understand what to do but I didn't read any of the descriptions but managed to win my second try. Really fun and I loved the music especially!

**Great job!** This was a short, fun experience. Sufficiently challenging, and not so long as to overstay its welcome.

**I especially like the music.** The music was chaotic and fun, and fit the theme of the game perfectly. **I also liked the chaos of the game.** There was so much going on, but there were enough clues to give context to the player about what was going on. Apart from that, **the graphics looked nice** as well.

For some things I think that could be improved: I think **there could be some better indication of which things go where.** I know there were posters on the wall, and some color coding as well, but I think that maybe not having multiple colors on the same desk, as well as some feedback when a player puts things back in the correct place would lead to a better overall user experience. Apart from that, I think **the hitboxes for picking up some items could be a bit bigger.** Some items such as the pens were a little janky to pick up.

Other that that, I would say **this was a fun experience!**. The overall mood of the game was very well done, and the gameplay complimented that mood well. Thank you for including volume sliders as well. Congratulations on completing a game in such a short time, and good luck with whatever comes next!
