I feel lucky to be the first reviewer. This was awesome! All the music, the graphics and everything was well aligned. I played through all variants, but could not manage to finish any of them, because I have only a touchpad now, so the insects coming towards to the button stopped me clicking :) I loved the best the sarcastic lady ;) Where did you get those tracks? Text to speech?

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. @mudlee The voices were either recorded live or generated with AWS Polly.

It feels so good to press that red button... Great minigames!

This was absolutely amazing. I don't have anything to add. Amazing game, super creative and extremely well executed

Simple but really fun entry, enjoyed playing it. Good job

The mechanics are simple but the writing is so good that it feels immersive and fun to play. I had a minor bug on collisions, sometime clicks were not taken into account (the button that moves up and down triggers the click sound but the level doesn't end).

ubershmekel 2022-10-05 22:51

@owlycode thanks for the report. I had that experience too. What's happening is that you click-down (press) on the button, but click-up (release) outside the button, which cancels the click. That's how most buttons work on the web (including this comment's "publish" button). This is a bit surprising, especially with the way the sounds work. I might make the click-down sound a bit more like a "tap" sound and the mouse-up sound more strong, because it feels like a bug. So you can tell when you really clicked it.

@olddog I added spoilers to the description above - what you need to do is to tap on the side of the button to *push* the button to the hole.

It was fun and some times hard. Good job!

t1mon 2022-10-06 06:13

Wow, that's cool. Sooo simple but fun. You're a genius!

faust-mi 2022-10-06 08:12

Great idea with a theme and a red button press! Good job!

ruruie 2022-10-06 16:03

This was actually hilarious!

keenan-woodall 2022-10-07 15:50

Aw I love this! Really fun game idea and execution - great job. My best was 16.09 seconds total

sweedy 2022-10-07 17:02

Honestly one of my favorite LD51 jam games. Funny as hell, hard as hell, tricky as hell. Love this one <3

marcodeevil 2022-10-07 17:07

Simple, fun just great game! dialogues were neat!

amarokczukay 2022-10-07 18:12

i loved it! i was laughing all the way thanks to dialogues. it's an extremely clever idea! i really wanted to see a graph of when i was better at the end of the loop, but that's ok. great job!

wouter52 2022-10-07 18:53

Such a fun game to play! Pretty dark also, made me think about those experiments in the 80's where someone would click a button believing they would shock someone at the other side.

Voice acting is very well executed.

jk5000 2022-10-10 13:52

This was really funny. Well done.

I have some data to share. The average level reached on the first try, depending on the control group (n=38 unique players based on ip address):

* positive: 6.5 * sociopath: 4.375 * threat: 5.8 * hot: 5.75 * negative: 6.0

So I guess people like encouragement, and prefer not to kill people.

rsninjadev 2022-10-11 04:59

Super fun, even was replaying to try to get my time down, got a 15.071. Gives me nostalgic impossible quiz vibes. I would love to see more levels!

lavamagmo 2022-10-17 08:07

Fun game!

sahan 2022-10-17 09:09

Nice game! Has a solid gameplay loop and well executed humor, however it could do with a few more levels :3
