Very interesting idea! The text keeps you engaged. Such a simple small sized game, I love it.

Very simple but it gave me a smile😊! 

GAMEPLAY  
Simple gameplay. Check the command and press the right button. Still made a few mistakes πŸ˜‰! The text was fun to read. I read on Discord it was made in about 10 hours and that is not bad at all. It worked without bugs in my play session. Of course it would have been nice if there were more challenges or different environments for the background, but it was fun to read and play for a couple of minutes. PS a lot of text...πŸ˜‰

GRAPHICS/ART 
Minimal graphics but the exploding cubes was nicely made. Good text contrast πŸ˜‰. Some more variation in an update could be nice. Other colours or other backgrounds.

AUDIO   
Relaxing audio track. Sound effects on space/click and key press would be a very simple and nice addition.

THEME  
Ticked both themes. Slightly but it did 

For 10 hours work it was fun to read and a bit simple but I presume the next jam you will be joining us again for a new nice game. Thanks for joining and for 10 hours well doneπŸ’ͺ!

Fun game but man it was hard to read at times. haha. Reminds me of the fake interview with Weird Al and Eminem "Wow, a triple negative!" Anyway, good job!

The idea may seem surprising at first but it is well in line with the theme, I let myself be drawn into the adventure and finished it, thanks, well done!

I shldn't've tr'd 2 play it srsly. My braeen meltd.

Absolutely love it! Although, part of me thinks it was targetted purely at me for using my keyboard too fast XD... Definitely messes with your brain, but the concept of "not"s to make it more fun is certainly genius, and the messed up English definitely makes it a lot more fun!

Of course, not to ? du dev, but I do have some feedback as I like to give everyone, although for a small game like this it is very hard to come up with some XD

  • Skipping the text so you don't have to wait for it to fully write in each time would be cool.
  • Sound effect on getting a wrong answer would be cool
  • A "power" (time) counter while playing would be a nicety, although may not fit your theme (?)
  • And finally a restart button after every level, just so you can go back and try it again!

Awesome little infuriating game though, especially for the small amount of time you had!

I've put recorded quick videos of each game I've played since I often find it useful to see how players tried my game... If you wanna take a look at yours, feel free, hope it can be of some help!

Wish you the best of luck with your other projects, can't wait to compete with you again in the next jam!

No worries! Can't believe I missed the easter egg, will definitely have to go back and check again! πŸ˜‚

Only mildly boring :)

I like your choice of making the alternate reality a black screen with "fireworks" upon advancing text. It gave the feeling of actually being in an alternate reality we cannot perceive beyond blackness and an occasional flash of light.

loved the dialogue, It would have been funny to see a sergeant or developer get progressively more upset the more you disobeyed them

Anoyying as hell but sort of fun/ funny non the less. definite jam game

Submitted(+1)

It's actually pretty fun despite only being a white-text-on-black-bg-with-exp-sfx game.

I think my average was like 25 power or sth.

The art/music work, but could have more variety.
