Adorable. Really interesting intro and fun mechanics, quite enjoyed it. Cables felt nice too to use

Submitted

Very funny game with an interesting idea. You did a wonderful job!

Great game! Pixel graphics and classical music were an unexpected pairing, but everything works together extremely well. Starting with a cut-scene as a way to set the stage is something I never considered before, but I definitely want to try it out in my next Jam game after seeing how well it worked in your game.
The cables also deserve a mention - the way they move feels amazing.

I already like the presentation and the control! The theme is really unique tho! Im still stuck at the 3th level, Im not sure cuz Im a computer dumb but I dont know which cable belong to which hole, but yeah! Great work man! :D

Thanks a lot! As for the last puzzle, pay attention to the sound the cable makes when plugged in, that’s all I’m gonna say without spoiling it. And don’t worry, it’s not an accurate representation of a computer.

Wow I love the game.

The visual style and music.

The wires it's somethings! Do you plan to release code for the game or at least that part on how to make the wires? I really would like to know how it was done!

Enjoyed the game!

Good job!

Developer

Thank you! Maybe I’ll release the source, but not before some major refactoring. As for the wires, it’s an implementation of Verlet rope that I found here, and tweaked a little.

Submitted

Totally understood.

I plan to release the source code also before the final update of the game.

Thanks for the info on the rope!

I love the idea. Very unique. The controls feel just right. Very few bugs at all. Very fun puzzles and a great take on the Theme.

Developer

Thanks a lot! But there was one big bug in the game, at least he was helpful!

Very fun puzzle game. Who knew cockroaches could be so cute! Only issue I had was trying to get cables into center sockets, the detection seems to favor the outer sockets until they were connected. Great work!

Developer

Thanks, I’m glad you liked it! And yeah, the selection is a little quirky, and when you cycle through selectables the order is a little weird. To be improved!

Developer

Thanks. We were not sure about his welcome. Happy to have succeeded.

Very fun game! Only issue I truly encounter was the linux build didn't pack the `.pck` file

Developer

Thank you, and I’m sorry about the Linux upload. By the time I realized, it was already too late. I feel extra dumb because I’m on Linux.

Really well executed game and the sounds to lock in different things in the right place felt so rewarding!

Developer

Thank you, I’m glad you liked the sound effects. Your comment is what’s so rewarding!

Developer

This is honestly perfect. Everything comes together so well!

Developer

Developer

Thanks. It’s so motivating to do even better.

Great take on the theme! I haven't played a game as an insect in a while, haha. The controls are intuitive thanks to the responsive UI and everything is clear. When a game doesn't need me to struggle to play it, it's a win for me. Good job!

Thanks for playing, and for your comment. It means a lot!
