Not sure if i'm doing it wrong, but i stood on the highlighted cog and pressed E but couldnt pick it up. Also i could not look around? Is that intended? Very interesting game tough, let me know and I'll revisit since i got stuck.

@appoxgames Please try clicking the screen with the cursor to activate it. If it still doesn’t work, you can download the Windows build. Thank you for your understanding. We’re school students, we’re 17 years old.

The visual aspect of the game really caught my attention. It reminds me of a cartoon from my childhood, where a character, a sort of rag doll, had the number 6 drawn on their chest. If you know what cartoon I'm referring to, please let me know—I've been searching for it for a while.
Overall, I'm not entirely clear on how the scene is developed, but I still like it.

@lvsth0pe Do you mean the animated film “Nine”? I love it very much. We’re glad you liked our style, and we wish you good luck in your game.

Cool style, great concept. But it seems too hard for me I didn’t realize at first that you need to jump several times before turning the wheel. Very mean colleagues.

Visual style is something, but i saw somee problems with tutorial - it is'nt native thing and i'm as a person with eye problems feel too uncomfortable to play it actually. But at all it's great job guys!

poor sound design, poor controls, excellent graphics
If this was truly made in 3 days, then the developer has been touched by God
The best visual! You can quickly create a game with such cool visuals and a great mechanics, too, perfect. The programmers and artista must xlearly wanted to die while making this - well done, guys. I like that textures, looked so good.

Great game, really loved the graphics. I especially loved the main menu, felt really polished. I literally just moved the volume control back and forth for a while cus of how cool it was. Enjoyed the gameplay as well though it took me a bit to figure out what I was supposed to do (for some reason I was completely oblivious to the ticket beckoning me over to the desk haha). Love the drawing mechanic as well, allowed for some extra fun inbetween making gears. Also liked the Halloween drawings thrown in there for the season. Overall I have to say this feels like a really cool demo for a bigger game, the comment on the other side of the instructions and some of the other mechanics kinda give me the impression there's a larger story intended. (also I agree with the other comments, incredible what you achieved in under 72 hours)

Очень нравится визуальный стиль, видно что постарались и вложили всю душу. из самого сложного было понять что надо попрыгать чтобы вырезать шестеренку.

I liked how many interactive objects there are in the game. Drawing on top of other "workers" who are actually just slacking off is fun.
To be honest, I couldn't figure out how to play. I figured out that I can place the gear in the machine but couldn't find where to get new sheets for making new gears. More detailed instructions would be great!

Nice work! Really fun core loop and a clever take on the theme. Had a great time playing through it! Left my scores. Greetings from the Meow Bomb team — if you're looking for more games to play and rate, come check out our bomb-crafting cat!
Such a lovely art style and I absolutely love the drawing mechanic!!! Would love to see a bigger narrative with this where you escape becoming another "cog in the machine" yourself.

Воу! Визуальный стиль просто огонь, очень круто! Рад, что раза с 5го смог пройти, очень круто и красиво сделано!
The visuals are very cool, but the controls were not very clear, there was a lack of a tutorial.

The game is very beautiful and atmospheric. I liked that there are many different mechanics, especially the fact that you can paint humans. Was difficult to understand how to make gears. and the second type of gear when I made it, the mechanism didn’t accept it, nor did it change externally

@uliana Thank you for the kind words. Make sure you’ve made a suitable gear. If the mechanism doesn’t accept it, make sure you’ve dipped it in a suitable container of water. Have fun playing!
Крутая игра, можно рисовать всякие гадости на лицах недовольных

Визуал реально очень классный, да и сама идея, багов никаких не было. Ребята большие молодцы, очень интересная и классная игра
игра имеет шикарный визуальный 3D стиль, механика интересная однако не совсем понятно управление и пришлось долго думать как выполнить задачу, а игра сама по себе очень хорошая и круто сделана, анимация смерти прикольная
Круто!

Большой объем для людума и очень цепляющие визуал с идеей. Более чем уверен что игра бехолдер была у вас в рефах, обожаю подобную стилистику. Теперь оч хочется продолжение или вторую часть

@Ksenozwar Спасибо за теплые слова! По большей части мы вдохновлялись bendy и paperhead, но у бехолдер тоже очень похожий визуальный стиль, рады что вам понравилось. Хорошей игры!

Few bugs here and there but overrall what a super good project. Very polished graphics, nice sound design, and quite a lot of gameplay for a jam game ! Nice idea, and the game has a fun tone to it, great job.

It’s a really cool game, but it lacks a cursor in the center of the screen or some kind of center‑point indicator, because I missed a couple of times when interacting.

absolutely love the art direction I think super fun that you guys chose cardboard and makes the game stand out so much, this will definitely be one of my favorite games visually this jam. The game oozes charm with all the little details, especially the death animation where they physically carry you to the press I thought it was actually really funny. Really cool that the game lets you draw on the characters I think it's both a cool little feature even if it is just for fun. I wish there was a music track it would have been perfect
It took me a bit to understand what to do but once I did it was pretty clear. it is pretty clearly communicated, I should have just read the instructions a little more carefully lol. I did not understand how balancing the tray works it just always fell no matter how tried to control it and it seems like the workers just sit in the lunch room for the rest of the game, i was hoping that they would eventually return in the main room

The in-game graphics look like they were made for Steam—everything from the textures and models to the animations. I’ve figured out what I need to do, but not how to actually do it. Still, drawing nasty things on the backs of people’s heads is pretty fun.

The art style in this is so cool. One of the best of the jam for sure. The death animation where I got pressed into the machine by all the characters was intense and funny to me. Really enjoyed it. I like how the instructions and tutorial is diegetic and part of the scene. This was a really unique and fun entry.
If there's any improvement I could suggest it would be having some interact prompt appear when you can interact with something.
Great entry overall, well done!
Визуально очень круто и геймплейно тоже, как кнопочки двигаются, как все сделано, а механика маркера пробудила художника, всех разрисовала сердечками и огромными глазами👀

Interesting paper-inspired aesthetic!
I think I might have messed something up; the web version can't properly find the next step for highlight. So I can only paint those paper guys black ✍️
The environment is nicely set up, I'm shocked by your age, you really have a bright future ahead. 👍
the cardboard cutout look is genuinely one of the best visual styles i've seen this jam, it feels like a weird little animated short. hiding among boxes and following instructions is a fun premise too. i did see people struggle with the tutorial and the controls, which is a shame because the art deserves a smooth first five minutes. did you consider a simpler interaction for picking up the cogs?

The handcrafted cardboard aesthetic and diegetic workshop controls look fantastic. Operating the machinery and stamping gears feels very cool at first, but the loop gets repetitive quickly. Clarifying the strike rules and improving feedback for the lunch minigame would make it much more enjoyable. Really creative visual presentation overall!
Wow, what a style! It’s so cozy and beautiful, and the game feels really polished! You should be proud of yourselves!

I like this style reminds me a lot of a Edmund McMillen game. I had some issues figuring out the note. Then it just was tedious to finish all 6. I really enjoyed the lunch part, but almost immediately threw my lunch on the ground. Didnt realize it was a balance game until I had flicked my mouse to turn 180. The cardboard people are so cool and the way they press your face flat is really well done. I like it!

Graphics are amazing! I'm unable to install anything in my station so I can only test the web version and I couldn't do much because sometimes I could pick things up, sometimes not.
Took me a while to understand what I was doing and which things to interact with. The painting function is very cool and entertaining, but not part of the actual gameplay, unless I missed something? Had some fun painting my colleagues though. Amazing visuals as everyone and their mother have already mentioned and generally very cool atmosphere. Love the "punishment" sequence. Great work, looking forward to maybe a postjam version?

Fantastic cardboard art style - it looks really cool. Took me a while to figure out what to do, tutorial is kinda poor. Drawing on the other characters was interesting. Nice work!
