As a non chess-player, I'm now all for regicide (just kidding, I always was). Jokes aside, it was actually a fun challenge.
Timers are always a bit tricky in "turn-based" games, they can be quite aggravating, but also, when you get into the rhythm, exhilarating. I experienced both cases in the course of playing the game.
I think the game could have benefited from a visual indicator of the time remaining. It makes the tension more legible and provides the small win of surviving a close call. As things stands, you only get the bad feeling of being slightly late.
As an experienced card I found it fun and easy to understand, even if the tutorial gave me the initial impression that it was going to be the other way around (unnecessarily complex). I also quite liked the visual style. Good job!
Deliciously infuriating kafkian nightmare. At some point I stopped being "bothered" and just kept giggling and reading with morbid curiosity. So yeah, the writing is great, but so is the way it was all put together. A fantastic entry!
I quite liked the moodiness of the second image(the one with the lamps). I guess it goes against you stated concept, but among the greens and "sparseness" I get a cool vibe of driving-at-midnight-in-a-mysterious-nuclear-desert-wasteland- kind of thing.
Great style. For me the controls are on the "a bit too slippery" side of things. In spite of that, I liked the "indirectness" of the smoke mechanic, and actually enjoyed its trickiness (I mean, it's smoke, of course it's going to be tricky to control).
Cool take on the theme. It took me until solving the OR gate to realize that the tests were like actual truth table tests (I know, lol). I only solve til level 9 (didn't try the others) and had fun remembering how gates work.
btw, I used the "system 16 mini" palette from lospec. Really good for getting that old school feel.
Absolutely loved the style and writing. My only (minor) nitpick is the button "centering" whenever it goes from two options to one and vice-versa (so every time I had to relocate the mouse slightly). It sounds trivial, but it kind of disconnects you from the narrative tempo, even if just for a fraction of a second. As I already said, this is a great entry, excellent job!
Such a beautiful game(sound, art). At first the control scheme felt like a mismatch, and, perhaps, even a bit too demanding for a game with such a warm style and narrative focus. In any case, after failing a couple times, I got the hang of it. Overall, a great entry I very much enjoyed.
Such a simple game, but all parts come together nicely. Even like the little wait between the window going red and the door actually opening works well. Every time I was like "oh shit, did I pushed it too far? Am I getting caught?" Fantastic!
the radio thing goes a long way in giving the true and tried of “sink the ship” a new feel.
the whole time I kept picturing this scenario of me as a retired spy, chilling in some beach, going back to do one final job, using the only tool at hand, an old, barely functional radio.
Always lovely to see new sokobans. I'm not the biggest fan of "level variants", altough the NOT gate is one of those case where you do get interesting surprises. Lovely entry!
i guess it's one of those weird compatibility web port oddities, but on firefox the background tiles had a sort of antialiasing "filtering", that kind of detracted from the beauty of it. so I tried chrome instead and had no issues.

Very stylish and the way its twist introduces hidden info and a bit of logical deduction is also really cool. Would love to see more of it.

I played a lot of nonogram as a kid, so I absolutely loved the twist on it!
And the last level is so cute <3

The mini-games are the right amount of easy, obvious and not so obvious this kind of collection should have. Would have loved to see more of them.

What in the sokoban is this game?! A bit fiddly, definitely needs an undo button. Even then, it was a great fun anyways.

I liked conectivity/optimization part of it, until i ralized 'spamming' the $600 pieces is the easy way to success. Overall a really charming game.
