Fun game just a heads up the fullscreen mode runs super slow so for a while I thought the controls were just really funky lol but after I left it got much better!

Quite challenging game for LD participants who already work for 2-3 days!

maratg2 2022-04-06 04:58

Man haha that is hard. I loved the idea and it's implementation in game. Very creative and well-made, and the most importantly, fun! Thank you for the submission!

jahwffrey 2022-04-06 05:03

That was a great idea and really well executed! A surprising and different challenge for sure, and I enjoyed it!

arthurr 2022-04-06 06:37

assez amusant mais un peu trop dur

Clever game, nice work!

CAPTCHA simulator ;)

Very humorous game! I enjoy playing it despite it's a bit too challenging for me :P

My suggestion is the need resting indication could be clearer, it's funny that you need to touch fish to recover, but didn't notice it at first and frustrated when the control got locked. Maybe you can make it clear in tutorial that you need to pay attention to fish tiredness meter. The blank after the game fail or beaten is also a bit weird, if it can restart a new game it would be more natural.

The idea is great, good job on making such a game!

There are so many interesting memes, and I especially like the "touch the fish to rest" setting, which reminds me of Mr. Quin. I was actually immensely enjoyed when playing this game just by differentiating cats and dogs. Nice Job!

Oh my god, THE PRESSURE!!

Loved it, had a laugh and totally reminded me how I suck under pressure :D

vivianmochi 2022-04-06 08:06

I'm seriously concerned with how difficult this was for me... I may not be as human as I thought! Honestly though great little game :blush: The voice acting was honestly pretty spectacular too! Stroking the fish caught me so off-guard XD Awesome entry!!

wondry 2022-04-06 10:27

ha ha ha, I am fired :-( :D :D

@nate954 @yulotomorrow @maratg2 @aderpychickenstudios Hay, thank you for your feedbacks! We have updated a new version of this game. Fix some bugs and add more detailed instructions. And make the game easier... I would confess that I personally cannot beat the game without changing the difficulty factors. Life is hard though...

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-06 12:27

Pretty fun game. A very accurate depiction of working in ML. Really required a lot of focus. When the red text started appearing it became a bit too difficult to keep up. I think it may have been better if there was only like 20% red texts instead of 50.

zc74560 2022-04-06 12:51

@dennis-magnusson Thanks for playing. It's a bug in game. We designed 30% red texts, but actually this number becomes 70% in the game. We fixed it just now.

naplz 2022-04-06 15:18

Omg the concept is genius I love it xd Pretty fun game and nice to play!! Great job guys!

cievers 2022-04-06 15:25

Hahaha nice! I guess I'm officially a dog person now, even with only a .5% lead :P

michbet 2022-04-06 15:25

This game has me questioning my intelligence... Still fun though!

vila6 2022-04-06 15:29

cool entry. Being an AI company intern consisting in making the AI's work was a fun concept, it's well executed and is engaging during the whole playthrough. congrats :>!

phoenixofforce 2022-04-06 15:39

Turns out i would be a terrible ai. 9/10 not enough cats. Good job on the game tho :)

cyzaine 2022-04-07 02:48

A pretty good game here, that needs just a bit more juice and pizazz to make it pop to life. But the basic idea is pretty fun, and would be a great mobile game I think.

moonchain 2022-04-07 14:28

it's a pretty fun reflex game, i like it very much

mrevilguy 2022-04-07 22:14

HAhahahaha this game is hilarious. God I never knew how bad I was at distinguishing between dogs and cats in a panic.

shortcreative 2022-04-08 03:28

Very nice! Love the concept! The way the first round or two introduces you to the gameplay before adding the "red is opposite" mechanic is perfect. Then it starts to mess with your mind, so it is a challenge!

ivysly 2022-04-08 08:26

good concept, but i don't really understand how it relates to the theme. i like how your game subverts its own rules and tests your reactions.

nullval 2022-04-08 08:57

oh man, great idea with the pressure mechanic :D it really increases the tension. Also the sound every time something is missed is also a great way to increase the tension.

tsugumi 2022-04-08 09:48

@ivysly Thanks for playing. In our game, the character is working so hard to delay the time get fired, which is inevitable. Every time player achieves the goal, the contract continues. But eventually player will be fired at age 35.

it's a cute little idea to sim an AI company, reminds me of the first game I made at school. the sfx def gives it the mood and humor.

I was confused by the picture showing both cats for cat and dog image at the beginning, then I thought I should just look at the title. But I got confused at level 2, there is no more instructions, and it doesn't work as level 1 (or I just kept pressing wrong buttons?). I still can pass it, until I got stuck at lv 3... is it the design? I played twice, after I scored 23, then the keyboard didn't work any more.

tsugumi 2022-04-09 04:53

@vivyhasadream Thank you for playing and giving such detailed feedback. The first two cat images with "cat" and "dog" texts indicate that player should use Z to fire an ACCEPT bullet for the right statement "A cat is CAT", and use X to fire a REJECT bullet for the wrong statement "A ,cat is DOG". As for the RED text introduced in level 3, it is the opposite statement, eg. a cat image with red cat text means "A cat is not CAT", which is wrong, then should be hit with REJECT bullet.

raptor851 2022-04-09 07:35

Ramps up quite a bit, more challenging than you'd think as you get further into it, by 7 I was letting a bunch fail to pick out the easier ones.

I love the absurdity of stroking the fish to get your energy back.

ping78 2022-04-09 23:20

Nice game. Now I wanna see ML model playing it.

chaoscomposer 2022-04-11 04:29

This game is very good! It has quite the simple premise, but I love how you gradually introduce more mechanics to the decision making you have to do and by the end things get quite challenging to think about! It's amazing how your brain gets so confused after just a couple of concepts overlapping. Getting to see cute pets is always a bonus. Overall quite a solid game!

eeaann9044 2022-04-12 10:40

Fun game but i got soft locked when i lost,

allax 2022-04-12 18:29

I liked the narrative, but I did not like the graphics and understanding of the theme by the authors

zitao-ye 2022-04-16 09:17

become a ai is really painful.

jozgames 2022-04-20 23:55

da um nó na cabeça esse jogo 🤣

não sei mais o que é um cachorro e o que é um gato, hehe

muito criativa a ideia, parabéns!

sakura-magika 2022-04-21 04:47

this was... a surreal experience, especially with the voice sound effects. you definitely captured a particular mood of a toilsome inane office job. i found myself feeling a lot of mental whiplash muxing "accept / reject" with "correct / incorrect".

thanks for making my day stranger!
