Great game! I love the idea, and the gameplay is fun. It gets really fast on the 2nd level, and a bit of music could help. But well done anyway!

discjokk 2025-10-08 19:07

The sounds are so funny! And for being such a simple idea, it gets really addictive. Some music would make the game more enjoyable, but otherwise a funny little game!

Quite simple but well made, I liked that it was kind of like a midi reel. Got very hard after the first couple levels but managed to get to the end without losing

@discjokk well, 2 hours left to submit, and I only had my mic and my voice/hands :shrug:. I think, some more hacky, old 80 bip bop sound in the game could fit better.

A lot of complaints about level 2, the RNG has bad balance, thanks for the feedback.

@pegasys @pixel-studios Thanks for playing

Honestly this is great, I instantly fell in love with the "Pup" sound) If you recorded your own voice I did the same thing for my game XD

It is super simple but the production value is pretty decent! I liked the sound design - most of the audio clips sound like they were made by various body parts :P

lastuck 2025-10-08 19:33

efficient design and goated sound effects, nice take on the theme, good job!

Really fun, was able to complete the game. The mechanic is simple but very enjoyable. Also I feel like the should be a consequence for accidently clicking a good memory block haha:Dd

daniboygg 2025-10-08 19:45

@deadcode I had in mind more mechanics, the one you mentioned as well, but time... :sob:. I think I'm going to improve the game after jam, because there are a couple of mechanics I would like to implement

@naru @dr-braur @lastuck @deadcode thanks for playing :D

This game is so incredibly simple, yet still addicting! I think the funny noises do a great part at keeping me hooked!

Super adorable sound effects and a solid base for a fun game. I think it would help to get punished for misclicks, or at least for clicking on the good memory blocks. Now I was just frantically spam clicking :D

Wow! That’s awesome! I actually went back to C and SDL recently to make some games, and I have to say, I really missed having a garbage collector, ha ha! Good entry, great game!

daniboygg 2025-10-11 21:35

@milq I was planning at some point to start using C and SDL/sokol/raylib as well. Godot it's a cool engine and being open source is superb, but in the end I feel like too much click here and there, I want to just write code!

milq 2025-10-12 00:17

@daniboygg Yeah, I started with C and SDL, but in the end it’s true that I ended up implementing a map editor, a physics engine, etc.

mrbamboo 2025-10-12 02:03

Hilarious!!!! Sooo noce use of the theme

automatonvx 2025-10-12 10:38

heh, a simple design but surprisingly fun. I liked the setting and was pretty polished. The voice SFX are always funny XD. Simple but solid.

frau-blut-kranz 2025-10-12 16:27

Very cute game! loved the little "pip" sounds as the machine was working. Definitely had trouble once the levels got harder, but it was fun! Great premise. Loved the game.

infernalwolf08 2025-10-12 22:21

Simple, yet effective. Very fun result that got surprisingly difficult. This is a great game, good job!

blackcat508 2025-10-13 20:22

nice and simple game, pretty fun!

quackqack 2025-10-14 10:59

Loved the sound effects!

martingonn 2025-10-19 07:18

Loved the game! It is simple, yet fun! Maybe you could add some harder-to-break blocks on the higher levels? Five stars.

binroot 2025-10-22 01:51

Kinda tron line!
