OMG. This is my favourite game of LD50 so far. Great work on this, so funny, and fun to play!
I think you deserve a steak dinner for this one
Humor and mood were incredible. This needs to be a full game. Even a series. I'm willing to back it on Kickstarter if that's what it takes.
This game is so bizarre, playing this on stream, it was like a crossover of IT Crowd and Death Stranding in a weird fever dream. Very nicely done.
some of the best graphics of all time. I think I got soft locked after a few minutes but everything else was A+
Love the art style but the cutscenes were hilarious! My only complaint is that i didnt really like the typing minigame for washing machines. But other than that amazing job, really impressive for a jam game!
Joe washing machine, the everyday hero. In what state of filth would our clothes be in without Joe?
Typing random letters gameplay was pretty boring to me. Is it meant to be tedious to simulate manual labor? Stayed for the sounds and art, and glad I did. I think you have something great with the surreal art style and story.
All i want is just look amazing with that washing machine
Ended up with rank C :grimacing:, reminds me of how slow I am with a keyboard... The last washing machine was huge :o
I like the retro 3D style. I can't believe I beat this game :D Am I a professional washing machine mechanic now?
3.29 and rank B :)
Had a blast with this, good humour and great theme
'state 'v this... :laughing:
Lovely, understated humour and a fantastically surreal atmosphere.
Can't imagine what inspired you to make this, but it's brilliant. Hope he gets he gets his promised steak dinner and pints down the pub. Man deserves it.
Really fantastic job! :smile:
Funny concept! I like the keyboard key method of interacting with the game. I had a similar idea at the start of this LD that we ended up not going with.
May I suggest splurging for washing machine upgrades? These units shouldn't be breaking this often. And the wear and tear from them sitting outside can't be helping either.
Also: rank B :-)
This is hilarious, these are the kind of games I always look for during a game jam. So strange and quirky, like a surreal fever dream. 3D graphics and FMVs are amazing, and I laughed out loud when I started getting compliments during the repairs.
You deserve a steak dinner for this!
This is art. Possibly the best game of the jam.
Great style, want to fix my washing machine rn
This game was an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. Doubt--Is this game really only a minute long? Joy--FMV!?! Challenge--Oh god what are keys?! Intrigue--What is this old man getting himself into? Accomplishment--Rank B. I'd also like to highlight one of the most convincing greenscreen walks I've seen in recent times. 10/10. Also, that leather coat? We've got a real businessman here!
Rank A! Absolutely inspired game, where do I sign up for the sequel?
Hilarious and moody haha Combining ps1-style graphics with live acting frames is wacky and funny looking :D I like the music mostly, very atmospheric and talanted

This is the most fun game I have ever played. The gameplay was really very simple, but the graphics are very cool in PS1 style. I like ps1 style and I also make games in it. The music in this game is also very good. In general, I think it would be great to add some variety to the gameplay. Very good work.
Yessssss rank A

Best typing practicing game ever!

As others have said and I agree... very good comedy, cut scenes, and background sound effects. The typing minigame caught me at first... the shifting of hands to the home row and then back to wasd to move... but it became natural after the first couple of fixes. I ended with Rank C. I'm assuming rank A is the best. I was expecting to lose more... batteries run out or something. Would love to see an expanded game of this including other appliances, and more humorous running commentary. Overall very good, would play again, will be recommending it to others to try.
Ok this is the funniest one yet, I laughed out loud several times. It feels like it belongs in a universe somewhere among Little Britain & Tim and Eric.
Game feels good to play too, typing out the keys is satisfying. Good SFX and ambience.
Really nice work.
I really liked the humour! And the implementation was pretty solid all around. I noticed how I'm used to strafing instead of rotating with the A & D keys but got around that pretty soon... All in all, pretty amazing stuff in 72 hours!
This was hilarious! Kudos for mixing live action and old school low poly style, that combination produces such a unique atmosphere! I didn't whether to laugh or be terrified!
Typing games are inherently fun, so not much to say there. However, I really like how you guys approached it. Well done.
Amazing what you can achieve with just a really good digital multimeter these days. Had a lot of laughs playing this. Low poly adds so much and shows sometimes less is more :laughing: Good entry!
Very nice audio all around.
The comedic vibe is consistent, nice writing. It's a solid contender for the fun award.
AHAHAH Love it! This just made me laugh every step of the way! xD Definitely got dark souls boss vibes walking into that last room. Also the green screen combined with the playstation 1 esk graphics is just hilarious
Amazing game, laughed all of my playing time)) Especially liked how the dude encouraged me when I succeed. Model of repairer man is the best!
My guy won't turn. It's like his head is in the same dimension with his butt. I get the concept but had it quite hard to play. Yet, this one is a fun load!
I'd be surprised if this didn't rank high in humor when rating is done.
I got stuck on the second washing machine. It just kept saying something wasn't high enough. Did I miss something about the controls?
Amazing, loved the entire atmosphere of the game and definitely made me laugh out loud instead of the standard noise exhale XD
Also, great camera angle Screenshot 2022-04-12 at 9.31.22 PM.png
Fantastic visuals! I think your game will be atleast in top 20 in Graphics category
"You've done amazing work on these washing machines", this was the approval my parents never gave me
The voice quips had me giggling. Great mashup of old art styles. A game that makes you laugh and improves your typing skills while it's at it.
So now I'm officially rank C repair man! Your game is a true diamond in the whole genre of "learn typing with all your fingers" games. I wish all the doctors would play it.
Haha, I laughed so much playing this game :laughing:
Well done!
