Fun interpretation!
Thanks for playing!
What a masterpiece! This is a game that I would actually purchase! What a unique way to interpret the theme! All 5 stars! just take those stars and make more please!
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you had lots of fun with it! We are hoping to fix some issues and possibly add some additional levels once the voting is complete :)
Great concept, fun gameplay and cool art style. Reminds me of Untited Goose Game (without the goose)! Great job!
Top marks all round! My kind of game... enjoyed very much! Well done team:)
Glad you enjoyed :) thanks!
Really liked the artsyle! I don't know if it's because I'm pretty bad at puzzle games, but it felt kinda hard haha :D
Had a slight issue with moving the coke can(?) on the computer level and combining it with other items. The other items would just toggle between selected and unselected really quickly so it was hard to see if it actually worked or not. Other than, neat game!
Glad to hear, thanks for playing! :D
Ah, that's good to know! I think there might be a couple of places where we need to make collision boundaries larger to make things easier to pick up and combine. I'll add the can to the list :)
Really enjoyed the game and the finer details are amazing! So well through out and visually stunning to match!
Happy you had a good time with it!
The entire game was perfect.
I loved the little collectables. They didn't add much to the gameplay, but they did make the environments more alive. I was excited to get to the next level to see what bug I would find.
I'm also really impressed by how creative the puzzles and interactions were. I thought the game would be too easy, but there were a few times where, after solving a puzzle, I realized how obvious the solution was and felt silly. The puzzles are so well designed. It felt like an escape room game, but the objective is to get everyone else out of the room by annoying them.
The length of the game is perfect as is, but I would happily play through more levels if they were available.
Thanks so much for playing and for the lovely review! 😊
We did want more levels, but ran out of time in the end and decided to flesh out our current ones instead! 😁But we do hope to update maybe with more after the jam is done :)
Nice puzzle game :) I really enjoyed to think how to annoy them hehe. The chip tune music fits great and the sprite animations are cute. My favorite animation is actually the credit screen where each member of you appearing from the top. Nice work!
Thanks for playing! I'm happy you enjoyed it 😁
I LOVE THIS GAME!!! The graphics and the gameplay was awesome, and the concept is good too!
I'm glad you liked it :) thanks for taking the time to play!
The art is so good, the level design is also very interesting. My favorite part is deleting the super important files. Nice job!
Thanks for playing! :D Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Wow, This game is so fun and artwork is lovely. Reminds me of the untitled goose game, but a lot more evil :)
Thanks! :) I'm happy you had fun playing it!
This was a fun set of puzzles!
Thanks! :)
not bad. I never play these types but i liked the art and the transitions ( : nice and chill gg!
Wow! I enjoyed to play your game. It took me a moment to get how to play it, but once i had a clue it completely hooked me! Nice job. I loved the art.
super solid game! though this type of gameplay isn't normally for me, I played a lot of it and had a pleasant time with it :) everything just goes well together, and it's a relaxing time <3
Thanks for taking the time to play! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
I really enjoyed this game. Didn't even realised I spent an hour playing it.
That's good to hear, I'm happy you had fun playing it!
Quite unique idea, I haven't seen something like this before. And, I really like it! It's just great, nice looking graphics, quite challenging and fun to play.
Great job! I love it!
Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed playing it! :)
The gameplay is unique and refreshing, with a pleasant art style and music that reflects the kind of laid-back nature of the game. The gameplay is surprisingly unrepetitive and fresh for each level. It's also really cool to be able to interact with the phone. I think that made the controls less boring. Bonus points for allowing me to collect bugs while bugging people.
One point of criticism that I want to give is that the scene is very detailed, which is not a bad thing, but it lead me to go pixel hunting when I'm stuck. Maybe having some indication on what is clickable, or a hint system might help with that.
Overall, I think it's a fun little chill game. Great job developing it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
I think a hint system's a great idea, thanks! That'll probably be something we look to incorporate in the future (even if it's something just as simple as highlighting all the clickables in a room, I think that will help).
This is very cute. I spent one hour 3-staring all the levels but I couldn't get more than one star in the final level (I need to know if there is a secret ending!) and the office level took me a while to get three stars. Love the calm music, the pixel art, and the transitions! Definitely one of my favorite games so far!
That's great to hear, thanks! :)
Unfortunately, we forgot to update the config that drives the star count for the last level which prevents getting more than one star (going to add a comment detailing this and fix post-vote) :'( Sorry about that (hope you didn't spend too much time trying to 3-star it!). The good news is that you got to see the real ending! (although I really like the idea of getting all levels 3-starred revealing a secret one :D). Looking forward to replaying your entry (played through it once already, you can expect a good review :P)
Interesting point & click. You sometimes don't really know what you can actually combine or not, but other than that, it was really fun to play
Thanks for playing! Yeah, I know what you mean. There are definitely instances where we could give the player more notice around what can be combined (part of the rabbit puzzle in Level4 springs to mind for me). Definitely something we'll be thinking about improving upon. Looking forward to playing your entry :D
