おはよう,

First puzzle: ✔️
Bug combat: ✔️
Check comments and see that everybody give up after first puzzle and do the same: ✔️

More seriously, when using the zoom inside the browser I could maybe try harder and finish the second puzzle.

What I really liked:
- The reminder of the controls. Which are also well explained!
- The mini-game which is some kind of magic trap you find out.
- The puzzle hint: mini tutorial telling you how to align number at the beginning / the image on the bottom left when doing the second.

What could be improved:
- The mini-game energy. Maybe put something else in music to make it sharper.
- The mini-game feedback: Audio and visual cues when the enemy attack / we take damages etc.
- Some music when we completed a puzzle (The "congratulation" but I wanted to have much more!)

Unique game for sure. グッドジョブ !

Thank you for making TIME to write your feedback. I remember such technique with the PROS and CONS used also by people on SteamPowered. You may also verify another GAME OFF 2022 Entry, “Four by Four”, that is as our team’s PUZZLE GAME, where pieces at chaos have to be ordered in the correct sequence. Yes, the game by itself does not appear to be loud on the congratulations. It may be when you share your GAME review and technique to quickly WIN that you shall receive the POSITIVE EMOTION caused by the LIKE counts (if such has VALUE to you), et cetera that you truly deserve! おめでとう！Congratulations!

I like these games! This one is good, but like the other comments said, I struggled to see the pieces clearly after the 1st puzzle. Good job completing this in the time frame!

Hallo, thank you for the feedback! I understand that you already used the ZOOM tool on the web browser to make the pieces larger. Rest assured, Puzzle#2 and #3 CAN be completed! Yes, this is already the RELEASED version. p.s. I’ve also verified your ENTRY and wrote a comment.

Thank you for the feedback! Congratulations too for defeating the BUG! The remaining musical tunes are available for download IF you did NOT yet reach puzzle#2 and #3! p.s. you have a noticeable profile image that reminds me of advertisements on 90’s Computer Games Magazines, with keyphrase: water skiing

Hello! Managed to kill the bug, and complete the first puzzle, the second however is so tiny that it's hard for me to see exactly where I'm at, and the gap isn't really easily readable. I find the looks kinda cute, it was easy to understand and cliché.

Thank you for making TIME to verify the GAME! Yes, the second and third puzzles are noticeably difficult, due to select parts of the END IMAGES appear the same and may also NOT be as observable with smaller screens. We recommend continuing to verify the technique to QUICKLY finish even only Puzzle#1 in this case. Again, congratulations and thank you for the feedback! p.s. verified: your team’s entry; remembered: via select parts deltarune (PC, SteamPowered) and Calme (PC, SteamPowered)

Wow, it took me ages to solve the first puzzle. Looks like a skill issue.

Anyhow, the game work... well that's about it for the positives. I can't really get it how is this related to the theme, like this seems to be just the good old puzzle game where you have to arrange the tiles. In fact how is the name related to the actual game? Then for the music, what an absolute masterpiece. No but it was actually pretty funny for a moment, then it started to be very annoying so I clicked the weird dark rectangle to turn it off.

And lastly, I really don't get the action game thingy, like yeah I can move and that's about it. Most of the time the bug thing is just glitching between the corners, and then without warning it just teleports to a random side of the map and dashes straight out, sometimes even hitting me.

Well yeah, that's my feedback. A bit critical but I like to say things straight. If you are someone with not that much gamedev experience, it's pretty cool that you got the game done. Without a game engine even ;)

Hallo, thank you for writing and your feedback!

"Just reconnect." We didn't really have a cliché to use for the project name at the start. I had to re-read the instructions on GAME OFF 2022 @ITCH.IO, and even had to verify the sample list with the almost 4000 phrases.

As for its relation to the actual game, it may have already lost its significance!

At the time, I was also updating our GAME OFF 2022 files on the web server using the network tool, WinSCP. As you may also know, when the connection has been idle for a set time, the software automatically cuts the line. But a button with "Reconnect" is displayed on the Window, so we can quickly connect back to the web server.

At the end, we went with it, after remembering how people tend to quickly click "OK", or whatnot, without even reading the text or the button name, until it has eventually lost its significance.

--

As for the BONUS MINI ACTION GAME, you'll need to press the ACTION button to create a DEFENSIVE SHIELD against the BUG's attacks. You can press and hold the ACTION button if TIMING it is excessively difficult. The BUG's movement has a set pattern, which after CORRECT identification causes a quick WIN.

Thank you. Health!

p.s. verified: your team's "Literally"; keyphrase: funny

This was an interesting little game. I like the idea of the minigame you can play.

Hallo, thank you for the feedback! I verified your game’s GAME OFF 2022 page. I learned that I shall need a Windows machine to execute your application. Let me also verify if a machine is available, so I can write a REVIEW and save a RATING of your GAME.

Very trippy game. Music is a little rough... my wife came and closed the door on me when after it played a couple of times. I could see it being helpful to start with a level that is 3x3 (up to 8) and then going to the 4x4 puzzle. It's been a while since I played on of those puzzles. The picture puzzle was especially hard to get what I was doing and I was just wanting to be done with the whole thing. It was a little difficult to understand the little action game.

Hallo, thank you for the feedback! Yes, you may need to decrease the sound volume, so the pitch is NOT excessively sharp at times. There is an increase in difficulty in the next levels after Level#1 with the NUMBERS. The PLAYER has to remember the target END IMAGE. We’ve added a mini image @the bottom left to assist with this ACTION. I’ve noted that the intended OUTPUT where the PLAYER executes ACTIONS without using noticeable TIME to think and plan the CORRECT set of movements with the TILE IMAGES was NOT achieved in the next levels based on your case. As for the BONUS MINI ACTION GAME, the monster CAN be defeated. I was writing the computer instructions for the GAME, when its movement pattern appeared as an ERROR or a BUG. I verified that it has a set pattern and it CAN be defeated. I opted to share it as the MONSTER for our team's GAME OFF 2022 Entry, due to I understand that participants also have know-how in computer programming.

So, it's basically a 15-puzzle game and an action minigame (I couldn't figure out how to win, sadly), both made in PHP? Impressive.

Hallo, thank you for playing the game. The puzzle game is a set of three levels, with increasing difficulty. In the MINI ACTION game, the player CAN WIN by defeating the MONSTER via correctly identifying its movement pattern, as with eliminating bugs in computer programming. Regarding your question, the MAIN GAME also uses HTML/CSS + javascript. Health!

The execution is good, the smart changing of the little position square considering your input and the options available felt really nice.

Love the fact that it's playable in every imaginable platform, no excuses for not tryjng it out.

All in all, for people who like these types of puzzly games this is pretty fun for pickup and play!
