This is so good! The look, the color palette, the music, the gamefeel, the concept.

robotchimp 2026-04-21 12:06

Oh this is sick, I love how it looks stylistically and the warioware-esque minigames paired with searching for the signal is really cool.

memoloop 2026-04-21 12:06

It's a very interesting game. I like the art, the audio and the concept. Greate job!

jankfank 2026-04-21 13:28

Love the concept and art style. Top 1 atmosphere and graphics so far for me

someday-not-today 2026-04-21 18:02

dithering, respect for art style

loudev 2026-04-21 19:15

Super polished, great vibes. No notes.

2026-04-21 21:13

Wow, that's really cool!

only 5 stars, you deserve it. Some crazy quality work.

kseniya 2026-04-21 23:15

Really liked the concept and the drawing, the style is awesome, very good

aj-atkinson 2026-04-22 00:07

I absolutely love the style and feel of the game! Great job!

hadmatter00 2026-04-22 00:13

The premise of this is really interesting, and the gameplay was super fun! I really liked the faster minigames, like shoot the targets.

t-c 2026-04-22 00:17

Nice work! Some games felt a bit tougher than others, but I think that is to be expected from a variety game like this, and things will be easier or tougher for different people. Really liked the atmosphere you set here, everything came together very nicely. The calls you had to right click were an interesting mechanic, and the indicators were varied enough that it felt like a fun thing to have to look for each call. Overall very good job.

2inkling 2026-04-22 00:18

The entire atmosphere is just exceptional, everything down to the camera movement. Concept is perfect for the theme. My only note is that the time spent waiting for calls is quite long and the minigames themselves are short and easy to fail if you don't read the text in time. But I'm nitpicking, and overall this is near flawless execution.

kenoshka 2026-04-22 00:19

visual design, sounds and voice acting really slaps, controls are good too and gameloop was kinda fun but as i understand there are only pipe and products minigames, wish to have some more

nadia-pixel 2026-04-22 00:25

My respects to Pinok Tapkom and Mister Dumpling and the whole crew for this gem. snimau shlyapu!

darsor 2026-04-22 00:34

@nadia-pixel thank you! we are very very proud of the work we have done, heh<3

msipp27 2026-04-22 01:15

i'm pretty sure the egg minigame is impossible, fun other than that, though!

termight 2026-04-22 06:13

Man I had so much fun! The minigames were nice but only on my second run discovered the rule book. :D With more content this could easily be published to Steam for a few bucks in my opinion.

2026-04-22 06:23

Wow! Super impressed with this game. The visuals are stunning, the audio was great, and the game felt very polished. I felt unfairly failed when I saw blood on the walls but maybe I missed something. Amazing job!

poboy 2026-04-22 06:25

SO GOOD

The idea is amazing and I love the mini-twist in the middle. I wanted to see the fake arm but I am too bad at CONSUME THE PRODUCT so I died too early to see it.

You could turn this into a Steam release

WHAT A MOOD

zpdlf003 2026-04-22 09:18

I actually thought this was a released game. The quality was really excellent. The animations, in particular, were outstanding.

zhr 2026-04-22 10:45

Very liked the idea, nice work!

luka420 2026-04-22 16:10

I was blown away by the game! Loved the conpect, art and soundtrack! As a warioware fan, this hit the right spot hehe

thatfirey 2026-04-22 22:12

@msipp27 Thank you for feedback, we'll try to see on how we can improve it sometime, but generally in egg microgame you are supposed to hold down left mouse button and let go as soon as it becomes green

seong 2026-04-22 23:11

Crisp and crunchy art and a solid sense of lore. Gameplay feels super clean and varied with difficulty scaling across levels. Audio work is spot on, and it's just a well written game both in terms of dialogue and the game itself. All the little details in each of these elements like lighting, animations, the parallax, the atmos/sfx, all make it feel so polished. Oh my god, it even has a trailer...

thatfirey 2026-04-23 00:56

Thanks to everyone a lot for the feedback

drainkid 2026-04-23 01:05

Every time I realize a game is warioware my neurons begin firing at 5x speed

Really good job, I loved the art!!

awr 2026-04-23 01:21

i love love love the pixel art in this…

alyd-asmar 2026-04-23 11:40

Making one game in a week-end? Too easy, let's make 6 instead! :laughing: Kind of curious about the brainstorming session that led you there lol. So impressed by how polished this is, everything feels super good, and I'm saying this even if I made the balloon pop every. single. time.

Aside from that, well, this is... terrifying ;-; Not a fan of thriller experiences in general, so I had to stop after 15 minutes before succumbing to anxiety, but this was awesome. Absolutely loved the mood and writing, to the point I kind of wish I could play without the timer just to see the rest of the story :joy: Visuals and sound atmosphere are also top-notch, and the voices are soooo cool. I might come back. Also reading the comment I realized I was not playing the egg game right, I just clicked repeatedly instead of holding, which had the side effect of succeeding quite consistently :rofl:

ribout-horace 2026-04-23 12:58

Seriously, that a whole ass game. The quality is so high in every aspect, you've done a wonderful job!

korzhik 2026-04-23 21:25

A very polished game. No bugs, no placeholders, no unfinished content. The team delivered a complete experience with a proper story arc that's genuinely fun to play. The minigame variety is impressive - runs feel fresh even on your 4th or 5th attempt. The difficulty progression keeps things engaging too, you can't zone out when you need to go into total lock-in mode just to blow up that shitty balloon. And the core loop speaks for itself - the combination of signal hunting and minigames works really well.

The art direction deserves a special mention. This is a whole other level. It looks stunning. Same goes for the sound design.

Overall an excellent game. Easily one of your best jam projects.

captainspoof 2026-04-24 11:44

super eerie the concept and the hand change idk why

drydiamond 2026-04-24 14:43

Once someone told me a mini-games Game in a Jam is always a bad idea... it looks like it's not always a bad idea, this one was great !

zathnic 2026-04-24 15:52

Great atmosphere, and impressive to implement so many minigames in a jam!

endejck 2026-04-24 20:26

OMG, this is great. Hope you guys will win in some of the nomination. The art, the idea, the atmosphere, the audio... I realy like it all

alchemic 2026-04-25 02:55

Fantastic mood. I was instantly sucked in.

I would say just remove the ldjam embed, it's so slow as to be unplayable.

j4cko16 2026-04-25 03:53

Holy crap this game is amazing! The fact that this was made in 3 days???? I really like the audio and voice acting and the whole vibe of everything. The mini games are also a good time. The only things were that even with the audio I was pretty confused on what to do for a minute and just clicked on random things. It wasn't very clear that I had to look for a signal (tho if the audio did tell me then I just didn't hear) which regardless a little more guidence would had been nice?! I kinda just got lucky and found a signal at first by clicking randomly. Tho once I understood the game it was a good time!

lenny-rudeberg 2026-04-25 06:58

Fun and interesting concept, reminds me of wario ware mixed with a dark psychological horror twist. GG!

phoenix-fireflower 2026-04-25 20:23

I played quite a few WarioWare-style games, and this one's the best I've played. The visuals, the voice acting and the little cutscene at the beginning are all superb. There's a good variety of minigames here, although 'Consume the product' seem much harder than the others.

bigfatgua 2026-04-27 03:47

This is a phenomenal dark-themed WarioWare! Pairing the WarioWare vibe with that Night Person episode from Rick and Morty is a stroke of genius. I absolutely love it. The level of polish is incredible—I can hardly believe this was made in just 72 hours. I’m already playing out the rest of the story in my head!

lllarso 2026-04-29 10:52

I played a lot of games this Ludum Dare, but yours is definitely one of my favorites! :)

The graphics are awesome, the mood creepy and the minigames are fun to play. Chasing for the right signal was also much fun. Really good that you implemented the "tutorials" in a natural way, like giving tips through the phone or reading something on the tablet.

I like that you progress through a story and it is very nice that you implemented voice lines. The humor is spot on and overall it is just a very polished game. Great work to the whole team! :)

woona 2026-04-30 07:23

Loved the game, it feels very polished! Great variety of mini-games but what I liked the most is the visual style and mood. It really gives off the vibes of old TV.

As for gameplay, I'm not a big fan of job simulator type games, but I played a couple runs and found the game quite enjoyable and full of surprises.

gecko64 2026-04-30 11:53

Loved it! The style, gameplay, and sound design all added to a drab atmosphere. I also loved the warioware style gameplay and when I was finished wished I could have some sort of endless mode. Good job!!!

ao-85 2026-05-04 21:17

The visuals are stunning, the audio was great, and the game felt very polished. I felt unfairly failed when I saw blood on the walls but maybe I missed something.

hollowsedge 2026-05-08 07:25

I really liked this game. It was really unique and very fun. One of the best games in my opinion! This would be great as a full sized game with more rules and minigames. Excellent work!!
