Great artwork! 3 games I can handle but adding a fourth always seems to get me. Neat concept.

Great artwork! 3 games I can handle but adding a fourth always seems to get me. Neat concept.
Fantastic job with the artwork!! I loved the little puffs of smoke in the first minigame and other small touches since they made the game feel really polished. In terms of gameplay, I also failed pretty quickly once the fourth minigame was added but I think that's part of the challenge and I had fun trying a few times to see how far I could get.
Really great artwork, and a great take on the mini-game collage genre, awesome work!
Loved this! Simple yet effective, and feels well balanced for challenge. Music and visual are on point.
Awesome game! I loved the idea! what a great entry, amazing job!
Nice, I loved Multitask back in the day. Fun set of minigames, great art too. I think the balancing minigame is a little too sensitive though.
I had some issues with the game slowing down to about 5 fps when fullscreened or whenever I zoomed in with the browser. It seemed slower on my larger monitor (2560x1440) but still had significant issues with full screen on a standard 1920x1080 monitor. Other than that technical issue, the game was nice and simple, but still fun and engaging. The soundtrack seemed a little too simple compared to the level of polish on everything else, but it was perfectly functional. Nice work!
Honestly think this should be a more popular genre of games and I love everything about this game, the music was nice but the sfx were not as loud so if I turned down my volume I could not hear the sfx very well. The gameplay loop is amazing and I love the art style used. I had the most trouble with the balancing minigame because of the amount that the potions slid so it required wayyy too much of my attention and I still failed it. Overall I love it!
The visuals were absolutely stunning and I thought the minigames were totally in line with the theme of a wizard delivering potions. My one gripe would be the audio not quite matching the experience. Really well done nonetheless!
*edit*
If you lost the game on a fresh page, and got to the math section again, it would become unsolvable.
It's a really neat unnerving minigames game!
Visually it's absolutely stunning. Absurd that you made all that beautiful art by yourself in 48 hours, congratulations! It all meshes really well.
The sound effects are fitting, although the music never feels tense as it should. You're multitasking four things simultaneously and the song just keeps on breezing through.
I really liked how smooth everything went, from shooting to balancing the package. I would like some other input to choose the right math answer (like pressing 1, 2 or 3), but that's just me.
Impressive looking entry, congratulations!
Loved the concept and the art style. It's really messing with my brain! Great job!
Fun concept. The art is fatastic, the music is fitting, very polished for the time you had. Great job.

Didn't know I was going to play a life simulator :sweat_smile:
Really loved the art, the seeming simplicity of the games, and how the complexity builds over the game. It took a few tries but I got it. I think it was really clever to make simpler games that compound than making a more complex game. Something to think about in the future.
The art direction and execution was just amazing. I really liked the "cut out" visuals, and how the car squished and stretched in the lane to make it feel like it was moving. Great stuff!
I like the idea, but the third game is insane, I can't beat it :( Too hard, and when open's the 4rd I lose. I done so many tries :(
Art is awesome, great work! Nice little game
Really nice progression, and the art is very nice. I found the physics in minigame #3 a little awkward, but other than that they all played well and together created a fun chaotic atmosphere. For post-jam, this would work even better with a bunch of mini-games chosen at random, or maybe a co-op party element? Nice job!
This can't be good for your brain! Haha. I really dig the wagon. And wagon + click shooting felt like a attention-switching practice. The third one was wonky, in that it seemed like a small angle did not push the box. I understand that from a game design perspective (it would balance itself if you could keep it just level), but it did not feel very good. When i saw that i have to click in the fourth one too (in addition to clicking in the one on top of it), i did not have motivation to try the game again :p
Music irritated at first, after a try or too I started grooving it.
Visuals are beautiful, consistent style. The wagon <3
thank you for taht expirience! It reminded me of a game "what's remins of edith finch" where it was necessary cut the fish and perform other actions. But your version be a more stressfull and difficult. I woild like to A-D be a small sens, because only this minigame brought me difficulties. Nice work!
Cool experience and great idea! Loved managing four mini games at the same time, very unnerving, feels too much like real life :)
Incredible game ! I love minigames, so playing 4 at the same time got me right from the start. The graphics are lovely, really good job :slight_smile:
Beautiful artwork, really like the style you were going for! Interesting game idea, messing with 4 mini games at one once did not make me stress out as much as I thought it would lol I enjoyed the game, feels very polished for a game jam submission. Well done!
Really great game, never played something similar. It is really tempting to try it again and again until the end. Also very polished, nice graphics, fitting music. So overall, really cool experience and innovative game. :smiley:
i love the art style! really creative use of the theme. it was difficult for me to play without a mouse :sweat_smile:
great game and really nice brain workout :D the first time I played I lost after the third task was added, but I managed to finish the game in the second run, yay! it was really fun, great work for only 48 hours. I also like the art style a lot :)
Bwahahahahaha… I'm so (so) very bad with multitasking! :rofl: I tried again and again, but I can't go to the end, I'm over a short while after the forth game starts. But I can recognize a good game when I see it, even when I can't finish due to my poor skills, so: good job and well done!
I like the art, I think the 4th game could be something more game-y instead of just math and/or could use horizontal mouse movement.
