Nice game with (obviously) a beautiful art style. Note that after collecting the heart, I could still go back and "collect" the other components again.
Polished content all around. Very much enjoyed seeing that red glow around the corner while heading out for the heart. Very nice use of colour.
Excellent little game. I've been thinking of making my own little pixel-sized game recently (like Knytt Stories), as well as those finnicky keyboard controls. Seems you scratched that itch.
Excellent balance of risk and exploration, as well as the two trade items -- you need "junk" (was it junk?) to make the friend, but you need cash (was it cash?) to get the teleporter (which is increasingly useful in the endgame).
Now I have to go back to buy myself a beer helmet and see what that's all about. Also: the purple pods? What were those?
Very good job. One of the top games of this LD48 for me.
SOUNDTRACK OF THE YEAR. NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR TE TE TE TE TE TE.
Okay, some genuinely terrifying moments in there. Well played.
Were there plans to have more in the way of breakables/enemies or some such? I basically didn't shoot at all in the end.
Just a quick suggestion: perhaps have the links between Singing Smileys fade away instead of turning blue when they've been blocked off? They can be fairly distracting, even when they're no longer "active" but still bright blue.
Still, challenging and enjoyable game!
"Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult." I have serious scientific issues with certain events in Act III of the story! ;)
Top marks. Really great use of Unity and some excellent humour thrown in.
Really excellent work. I was pleasantly surprised at how...futuristic the computers seem to work. Cool HUD bro.
It's what I'm seeing too.
Would be cool if -- for instance -- you could just drag across two adjacent cats to have them disappear, instead of clicking each one individually. Nice concept; are there any algorithms to guarantee that each level is "solve-able," or is it completely random? (Also: kittens!)

Love love love the art style, though at first I couldn't figure out where the garbage was. I kept trying to feed the sandwich to plants. Plants love sandwiches, right?
That coffee sound is going to haunt my nightmares though. I also liked walking up to a full pot and scorching my innards by downing the whole thing in one go.
You should totally have an Employee Washroom DLC where you take all the toilet paper rolls and flip them in a direction everyone hates.

Really nifty little game; with some UI polish it could really get going.
* Health usually counts down; you could make that bar a Damage bar, which would naturally make you blow up when full.
* I like how New York and Paris are cities, as well as California ;) (maybe San Francisco could work).
* I wasn't fully clear what money was used for at first; I know the info's right there, but it didn't grab my attention at first; again, some UI tweaks there.
* Also, feedback on how cities will/won't react to your threats could be cool (a la Civ), but that's just a bonus.

Sounds like a pretty cool concept. Would it have run on a tablet, or is it mouse-driven? Anyway, keep at the LD's -- they're an insanely good learning experience.

Really like the look of this one, and the growing unease as things spiral out of your control.
