haha very neat! and I liked how meta this game was, it looks like the game being played was another game you made? nice touch!
that's right lol I needed a gameplay that I could use, then I remembered that there was a tutorial video of another game I made haha
Gameplay is exiting, ang game looks really nice! Music fits last level perfectly!
Cool idea! would be cool to have some power ups and temporary boosts. Maybe some risk and reward of overclocking the computer to gain more performance.
thanks for the feedback, great ideas to add and balance :)
Pretty cool idea! I would definetely love more levels with even more chaos!
More levels, more chaos, more fun! haha
Thanks for feedback :)
Really cool idea, I'd love to see more levels!
A fun little game
Thanks :)
There are many games to play, I wanted to show the essence of my idea at least.
I am working overtime for that stupid child, I will make sure his computer turns into a nuclear reactor and he dies a slow and agonizing death.
it's a good alternative ending for those who platinum the game lol
éclaté ;) really short though
I'm sorry, I wish I had added a few more levels :(
cool concept though keep up with game dev!
Always wanted to play as computer:)
Exciting and Well-Balanced Game! I love the level of multi tasking you have to keep track of. The game has good art and goofy music.
Thanks Doctor Beryl, I wish I could have added different mechanics to each piece of the computer, but I'm out of time lol
Really fun multi-tasking! only critique I could find is self evidently the length, would've played for way longer! I would even play a post jam version if that's on your radar!
I prepared all the scripts to create more content, but during the jam I didn't have time to create many levels or balance the game properly :(
Very funny idea! Fun to be the computer for once :)
Just FYI: Had problems playing on Firefox (nothing happening), but it worked in Chrome than.
Thanks for the feedback rustygrum... I'll try to run in firefox here :(
great game with good idea. gj :)
Fun idea! Had fun mashing the button to keep the computer cool!
its easy if use shortcuts rs ASDFG and Space
an accurate simulation of my computer trying to run anything lol. very fun use of the theme
lol, it's easier if you use some shortcut keys, like ASDF, Space and Enter.
I really like your idea and the visual scene also looks great. Sadly the whole gameplay feels a bit repetitive and consists of mostly spamming one button. I think a lot more could have been done there (maybe having like a motherboard where you also have to manage the wires or cooling?).
But your game is great none the less, especially for only 48h. Keep it up!
I wrote down some ideas to continue implementing the way to interact with the computer parts and bring different mechanics, but I ended up choosing to add the sound effects, there was no time :( lol.
Thanks for your feedback Lohegrim!
interesting Idea not the best execution
I thought about balancing much more what one component affects the other and adding different interaction mechanics for each component, but there was no time lol
a little stressfull but cool idea - feels similyar to what I did ^^
Cool, being a computer is not easy lol
but a Computer has multiple cores and I have only one mouse to click x
true lol a tip is to use the shortcut keys (ASDF, Space) and ENTER to speed up the process.
Very fun and easy to understand how to play.
I need to polish some game feedback, but thanks!
Nice idea!
