Simple concept, pretty art but i think bad using of the JAM theme it feels like superfluous

Love the UI within the coputer, it's a really fun touch. I did get fired eventually because I tried to play the asteroids game too much. Great work, love the music.

Really cool idea and good humor :smile:

A game within a game! If only I weren't so terrible at asteroids xD Great presentation, it really sets the mood while playing. Nice job!

I really enjoyed the game, even though I was a bit frustrated, I kept finding myself coming back. I played this without a mouse and with a mousepad, which was a bit counterintuitive, as rotating the rocket was a bit slow and then switching to the button would not be great. But I believe that is on me. This reminds me of games, I used to play when I was younger, and the voices were pretty fun. I'll be sure to come back to this game, with a proper mouse :)

Nice twist on the theme. Love the art style and the computer interface.

Also, why is the TAB on the bottom of the keyboard :-D

Great humour, and really loved the computer UI :)

You were able to make me find some fun in a game as boring as Asteroids. That's an amazing feat. Good and simple idea, kind of funny situation too. Could have been a The Stanley Parable ending! GG

Very fun experience!.

This game has vibes of the previous LD, but still, works with the current one extremely well. Great job.

Interesting/fun concept! Nice voice acting! I liked the multitasking idea, the graphics set for a great environment, but I couldn't quite get used to the asteroid game. I don't remember what the original asteroid played like, but as for my nowadays taste in games, the minigame, to me, felt really slow and somewhat unresponsive. All in all a very fun game, nonetheless, I'll just have to accept I'll forever be bad at it haha

Absolutely fantastic game! There are so many things that really stand out. The graphics, the music and the voice lines are lovely, the theme was implemented amazingly and the game itself is super addictive. A bit frustrating at times but in a good way :D

Also I really love some of the little things, like the links is your credits menu or also that your game doesn't start at 100% volume. It's also super cool that you added an online leaderboard this time! I'm only rank 3 for now but I'll probably play it a lot, just like I did with your last game.

I only wished it was possible to restart the game even faster, but other than that it's phenomenal! Really great job!!

Enjoyed this game, I wish I could restart the desktop game without restarting the entire game if I hadn't let the button timer elapse. I made it into the top 10, briefly!

stefan-laimer 2022-10-05 11:36

noooooo...so close to beating d0lega's score...

I will get it at some point!!

i am the world's worst button presser, confirmed

javasaurus 2022-10-05 21:01

Very well done, I'm a sub-par button presser as expected ! I really like the esthetics, they bring me back to my childhood computer. Love it ! Perhaps the fire rate could be higher to make it EXTRA click-spammy, but I really enjoyed it, well done, beautiful entry ! :)

jamdong15 2022-10-07 08:03

Wowow, game-ception, haha. Really interesting!! Admittedly, I wasn't that good at the asteroid game but this was still a really interesting entry :) Also, I love the voices. I think my only piece of feedback would be to switch the "shoot" mechanic to be a key, such as the enter key; it was a bit difficult switching back and forth between the mouse and the key. Otherwise, really unique entry!! Great job.

Also, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game! :) Any feedback would be wonderful.

mikkyti 2022-10-07 18:37

such a fun idea! I like this graphics btw))

skvader-418 2022-10-07 20:47

the Polish and graphics are top notch. But damn is this hard, cant get anything above 100

etrealjunior 2022-10-07 22:01

Congratulations I really liked your game, the references were very good, with great gameplay, and the helper clips helped to guarantee you 5 stars, my congratulations again, a big hug.

amarokczukay 2022-10-09 16:38

fun game with hard to master gameplay. i mean my brain is not made for that hahaha graphics are nice and game overall feels polished!

euler-moises 2022-10-11 11:42

Oh!!!

What a cool idea! Just like my life!

I can't play without something popping up that I have to do.

It's very well done.

I didn't find any bugs.

Congratulations to the team!

This made me sad. I tried very hard to get anywhere near the leaderboard, but alas, I failed. My slow rocket ship was destroyed repeatedly by the space cookies :( A fun multitasking game, with a lot of "RNG react fast" moments. I think because the game was so difficult, I was mainly struggling with the asteroid game - before even considering the distractions. I may have enjoyed a little bit more if the game was a little easier to begin with!

itsboats 2022-10-21 05:06

I really like the humor and idea of this but the asteroids part needed to be a lot snappier. I think you couldn't change your momentum quick enough to make necessary adjustments and would have to rely on rotating and shooting incoming asteroids. One thing that did help a lot was the generously small hitbox though! Other than the movement of the ship, the whole game is really solid and I like all the little bits that immerse you into BonkOS and this button clicking world xD

Also that keyboard is cursed lmao

ava-skoog 2022-10-21 08:13

Well done on a funny game 😁 It was mostly fine and of course very intuitive, and it was really nice to have the notes for the rocket game at all times, but I do agree with others that the rocket was way too slow. Props for voice acting the boss! Music is nice—perhaps it fits the rocket game more than the surrounding game, but that makes it fit anyway 🤔 Enjoyed myself, but did feel a bit snubbed when said slowness of the rocket led to my losing. But on the whole really neat! I like the little details on the desk, and that's one weird keyboard 😅 Neat with the progression of the chat messages. Well done!
