I feel good when I capture 3 at the same time. The music is wonky kinda like the socks. I'm wondering why they are running away. Good to have options menu to control the music volume.

Its a really good idea, and sound is perfect
Cute take on the theme. I was jamming to the quackin' bongo groove, but when the squeaks kicked in I knew we had a certified bop on our hands. Love the paint style art and wiggly sock faces. Also appreciate the inclusion of menu options. I got a perfect 3 on easy pairs, but couldn't do any better than 3 on hard, either. I would have liked some type of time indicator, since I was a little confused about the end condition on the first playthrough, but otherwise a solid game. Rocked my socks off :)
Thanks fot the comments and feedback. @bucketh3ad there actually is time indicator on the washing machine. I guess itβs just not very noticable.
What a perfect jam game! I can't get over how cute the socks are.
The game was so fun but I couldn't really match how it fits with delay the inevitable kind of.
Thanks @meritcoding. The concept for me was, that every time after washing your clothes, there's always some socks missing, so for me it was about trying to delay the escaping socks before they get lost forever.
It's a super amusing interpretation of the theme as well as a real-world scenario that most of us can relate to! Sure, it's only fun to play for a little while, but I could see it being one of those games you might find on the "No Internet" page of a web browser to play for a bit while waiting for the power to come back on haha!
oh god, this is a very accurate real life simulation ! The socks are really cute and the gameplay is simple yet very effective. And it's such a refreshing interpretation of the theme. Well done !
Really interesting game! I didn't notice the timer on the first run through but later I did. I couldn't save that many socks so when I grabbed 3, I just held them until the game ended xD
My pc doesn't even want to download because "virus detected". Windows defender being annoying again...
Literally the best Laundry-based game I've played all year. Perfection.
This game is simply great The music, gameplay and art beautifully capture the comedic absurdity of the concept, creating a consistently light-hearted yet joyfully intense experience. I legitamately don't have any criticisms of this game. Really nice job!!
It is a very funny game, congrats for the entry. I speacially liked of the sounds and animations, you art style is very original. I spend some time thinking about how keep all the socks but in the end I just accpeted the fate :end:
This was a really hilarious take on the theme! Everything fit super perfectly together. The gameplay (while not the most unique or engaging) was at least enjoyable enough to fit your idea and make it work. Overall great job on this game. I loved the humorous take on the theme.
A little weird but also a funny little game. Well done.
really cute art (and concept) - could've added a "you lost" screen if all the socks run away π§¦
I'll just leave it as pure cuteness and so real life related. Waiting for proper 3D hide-n-seek simulator on Socks Engine :D
Haha so funny and cute, very clever and light hearted take on the theme :D fun entry, good job !
A perfect hit on the topic. No matter how you take care of your socks, they still run away. Ρ ) I like to catch socks in the game. They are very charismatic. Thank you for choosing the difficulty in the game (I like it more on the slow one). It is not always clear whether you will hook the sock with the cursor or not. The game is very cute and I had fun playing.
Fun game to play with. One suggestion I would have is to make the time bar bigger. The first time I play the game I didn't see the time bar and was confused about how to win.
The game was funny with cute art and music! I think with levels and upgrades there would be more replayability.
What a cute game! Great job! As others have mentioned, the time bar could be bigger or more prominent, because without the comments, I wouldn't have noticed it. But otherwise it's a really well made game!
So fun to play, and this is an awesome application of the theme. Loved the music too :D
Idea is really simple, really good and fit the theme perfectly, the music is as malicious as the socks are, it's fun, great job.
haha so cool to play, great concept and love the audio, makes it even more fun to play! :-)
So cute! haha Really like the artstyle and the music! With a mouse it's getting really hard very quickly, wish I could play it with touch. But I still had a lot of fun!
haha this game was so much fun! The graphics are very nicely done and the music is fitting really good! I like to imagine that the socks are singing that ^^ May be the game could be a bit better with a progressbar for how much time you have, that is all the feecback I could come up with. Very solid game, I like it!
Hahahhahaha, that was adorable! As the other said, a more fully featured time bar would be awesome, but other than that, great job! Gave me a good chuckle!
Nice design. Nice mini game with a lot of expensions posible. For example the Whites with one evil red sock.
Such a fun game! great style, amazing sounds. Well executed over all, it really feels inevitable!
Cute art style! Nice and simple. So this is why I'm missing all those socks! I just never tried to capture them :P
Nice game, I like the artstyle!
Love the colorful art and animations. Reminds me of Don Hertzfeldt. Beautiful and unnerving. The music is perfect. I think you could ramp up the difficulty and keep me playing longer. I could only save 3 single socks, but I was playing with a touch pad- so I wasn't able to react as fast as I wanted. Thanks for the game!
Great Game!!
Very silly game, I love that "Sock loss" is inevitable :wink:
I do wonder if there could be some sort of timer or indication to the user about when the "craziness" will end. The first time I played I was beginning to wonder if there would be an end.
Haha, that was cute and fun! (and also gave me PTSD, lol)
Maybe this little game will help me get my shi...- urm, socks together!
I really liked the general idea of the game, and the socks look so adoreable, lol :)
This could be like a warioware minigame, so cute! :)
Also really liked that theres two game modi and two difficulties! Good job!
The game is so adorable! I kept smiling all the time. Audio fits perfectly! Really great job.
Carazy theme and very fun xD !
And idea well implemented.
It would be great to store the socks that the player picks to accumulate points with the option to have a highscore
The lacking part is the audio. The loop music is very short and becomes annoying very quickly (almost stopped playing because of this)
A sound for grabbing and letting go would be nice to add.
Nice entry anyway, congratulations!
It's coolest game, which I see at This GameJAM. This is very crazy.
Simple and cute!!
Nice music and graphics. wish the socks made some sounds themselves when picking up and dropping them. Can't say much more because it's a very simple game, hah. Good entry overall!
Nice simple tiny game :) Great submission!
Cool game! I like music and socks :)
the music and the little sock animations made this game as charming as it is :D a very simple concept, sometimes I felt "being good at it" was purely down to a persons ability to quickly click and drag, though I liked in pair mode it added a bit of strategy so you prioritise certain socks when it all gets a bit too fast to save all socks.
Pretty simple game with an unusual concept. The idea itself is very funny, but the gameplay itself is very monotonous, it would be great if it had other mechanics. The music in the game is amazing.
Simple but enternaining game. Loved the mood!
Best music ever! Very difficult game but enjoyable just for the laughs π Looks and sounds nice and the socks are super cute. The pinching hand cursor is π
Simple but entertaining and well-made! Congrats!
