I think it is a good game. The graphics are nice, the sounds do not like me but are enough for the game. I had a problem, I think it was a bug; when a box falls on the player It cannot move more. I was blocked some times. But generally, the game is enjoyable. Good work!

Developer

The fact that you can get stuck under boxes is intentional and counts as losing.

I dont have windows, and theres not a Linux or HTML5 version so sadly i cant play the game :(


The graphics look pretty neat though!

Great game, and difficult as well, which makes this game even more interesting, great job!

I am a fan of the mono color scheme. The game played well with the only main issue I came across were the bombs hitboxes and being unable to see where exactly they spawn if you are not elevated a bit. Other than those few things, the game was quite a bit of fun! Well done!

Neat Game! i really loved the office-ish sound design
(also there are two cheese spots under the teleporters at level 3 and 4 lmao)

Developer(+1)

What do you mean by "cheese spots"?

Submitted

basically spots where one can idle for eternity and not die

great game :)

I love it!

Interesting idea! Loved the grayscale visuals and overall theme. Great game!

The only thing I didn't like was the way bombs worked - for me it seems that the explosion effect stays for too long and the hitboxes of it were a bit confusing.

Developer

The hitboxes are a bug. The collision testing is made only for the last frame of the explosion's animation, meaning that it is always the biggest it can be. The fact that the explosions stay longer is intentional because it makes the game harder.

Ho, no macOS or web export :/

Developer(+1)

To export to mac OS, I would have needed either a mac or a mac OS VM, and I have none. Mac OS VMs aren't easy to make and they don t even run smooth on my computer. As for web export, my GameMaker 2 License doesn't allow me to do that.

It was more difficult than I expected! Really fun to play!

I like monochrome aesthetic for the game! It was fun but challenging, had to cheat a bit on the last level by waiting on the finish for all the coins to spawn xD
Good job making the game! :)

This was very interesting!

Great Job!

Again an awesome game the concept is not ordinary so that’s kinda cool !

I was crushed by the box and stuck. Good game!

Developer

That's intentional. When that happens, you lose the game and you need to reset.

A nice little spin for a platformer game. Neat concept with the broke computer and the loading. Nice!

Developer

The question is, who broke the computer :) ?

Nice game! It's sometimes very easy to get stuck in the boxes, maybe you could make it so that the player would get crushed by them instead if the player was  fully under them?  Also the bomb explosion lasts maybe a bit too long. But the gameplay was still fun and enjoyable! Great job overall!

Developer(+1)

The fact that you get stuck in boxes is intentional, however, yes it would be better if the level would reset when that happens rather than the player needing to press reset. Also, the bomb explosion needs to last a while since, as you know, objects spawn every three seconds, therefore the player must face a challenge while they wait.

Submitted

Sometimes the coin spawns  right under the bombs and I keep dying because of it =)) Nice game lol

Developer

The game is meant to be hard. That is not a bug, it's a feature.

Fun game! Had a cool atmosphere and interesting mechanics! The only real problem I have with the game is getting stuck under boxes. I saw that's intentional and if that's the case it seems that it should restart you the same as the bombs. Other than that, great job!

Submitted(+1)

The game is really cool, story is a nice addition. But bombs are little too much lol, i kept dying hehe, but overall it was nice game! Nice work!

The Game was really cool! And I prefer games like this which are short and to the point. You also added a story and some juicy stuff pretty cool interpretation of theme , Well Done!

Submitted(+1)

like the aesthetic and gameplay isn't too bad but with how long the bombs last and how big their hit boxes are it can get annoying at time and if a box lands on you you're just stuck, however everything else is pretty solid. 

Developer(+1)

The fact that you can get stuck in boxes is intentional. The bomb hitbox is a bug because the collision testing is made for the last frame of the animation which has the biggest sprite.
