This is really cool!!!
It's a common genre to play with buttons etc to figure out how to beat the game, it's not really original in that sense but theres no much you can do to fix that with this genre, the art style and game is cute though.
Design[4/5] Missing the "only one" mechanic a bit in gameplay. It's mostly clicking buttons in time.
Theme[4/5] You do really feel like you're the ONLY ONE able to safe the earth! However like I said it is not really part of the game mechanic here.
Originality[5/5] Fun take on the 'only one earth'-like games.
The mechanic is to solve puzzle to slow down time because you have "only one second" to finish the game. The idea was to make a game that have to be finished in one second. 🙂
Thanks for the rating!
Aha I didn't notice that you slow down time by solving the puzzles!
I guess I'll give 5 stars for theme as well then :)
Also really like the art style and feeling of the game in general.
hahaha, thanks for making this game, had a lot of fun playing it. If you have time please add more levels later.
Really cool and frenetic gameplay! But volume settings are much needed because the music is very loud.
This game caused a scene at the office as we all tried to solve it together!
I almost quit but we made it at the end (I especially like the note at the right with the zigzag instructions).
Just amazing wow!

Hey, we made a GMTK game too. Check it out!
haha! it's super funny! I like it, I couldn't get past the emergency recruit puzzle, but good job developer!
Very nice, I really feel like a dog trying to paw at controls
Absolutely adorable! Probably one of my favorites in this jam. It was worth a second playthrough just for that secret.
OMG, I loved so much this game. The "boop" when the earth destroyed was very funny. Pushing button as fast as possible was very satisfying. Great job!
I really really like the cartoon aesthetics, And the comedy was a very fine icing on the cake!
Nice work guys!
Awesome game, all the buttons feel great to mash :D One of my favorite games of the jam!
(Loved the secret code as well!)
AHH THIS IS SO GOOD.
YES.
Do i really have to say more? Just go and play it, it literally only takes one second, hehe.
But for real, i love things like this, like "don't touch anything" but with a sense of humor and wicked artstyle. Seriously, props to the artist, instantly sold me on this, hehe
5/5!
Fantastic job. I have to say that the lowercase letters in the command line confused me a bit, until I figured out that Shift and Caps Lock didn't do anything. Also, I couldn't find any hints for the levers on the right, so I did ternary counting. (Thankfully, time slowed a lot before I decided to do that.)
This game feels exactly like opening a 3D modelling tool for the first time... except that it will explode in a second if you don't start clicking. The first time I played, I was like what, how, when... O_O . Things started to make sense after a few tries and it turned out to be one of the best short experiences I ever had. The art is also great and the comic drawing are so cute. The game currently has low replay value after winning for the first time so I wonder if the control board can be procedurally generated every time with a different layout and more complex relationships between the elements. Anyway, the game is still great as it is and I am really glad I played it.
This was good fun to play. A couple of real nice minor details in there.. like triple backspacing if you mistype the code, randomizing the switch and button orders... Great game guys.
My only tiny, tiny criticism (and this is probably more me than you) - I click too fast so I skipped the intro and end screen so needed to replay it!
An entertaining little puzzle game with a nice art style and a suspiciously lovable protagonist (think about it... who even sent the meteor?). I would love to see this made into a level-based game progressing through different puzzles. Good work!
I really love this mechanic, and the art style fits perfectly with the idea of a dog manically mashing flashy things on a console. xD I did get stuck at one point and couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do next, but that's probably just me being an idiot. xD
Liked the presentation and well executed, well done on getting so much done in the timeframe!
SO PRETTY! Oh my god the art of this game made my heart melt. I loved it sooooooo much. It was hard in the right way, really fun to play and the SFX/MUSIC were great! Congratulations for making this great game in such small time!
Thank you so much, that's very kind of you! Glad you enjoyed the game :)
