I love the art style and how your sense of humor showed through the game. It gave me a few laughs! 

Two small critiques:

  1. I suggest adding a visual indicator (maybe some black bars that transition in/out at the top & bottom of the screen) during the "listening-to-music" cutscene. I was confused/frustrated that I couldn't move and was unsure what the reason was until I figured out it must be cutscene
  2. I read the controls before starting the game. So, I was confused/frustrated when I couldn't jump or left-click in the "Hub World". Maybe it's worth adding a control silhouette to each of the mini games and the hub world, or simplifying the M/KB setup

I enjoyed how you had a variety of mini games too. Maybe with some help from the boss I could've got to 100%!

This is so unique!  That music track was so good, couldn't help dancing to it.  Also, those wires really need replacement.

Developer

thank you for your kind words :) 

I‘m glad you like my game ^^

Emile is a champion and deserves an award for just his bops alone.

More seriously though lol I really liked this game, a kinda take on the task system of Among Us.

My only real criticism is maybe give the player some idea of what they need to do for each task, and possibly some indicator pointing in the general direction of the issue.

All in all great game!

Good job friend :D

Developer

thank you for your kind words! :) 

I‘m glad you like the Game :) 

And also thank you for your feedback. I will definitely try to implement your thoughts after the jam ☺️

Ok so the concept is awesome! The art is awesome (I like the boss's pixel art with his stomach hanging xD that's a nice touch)! The movement is fluid and nice.

The only thing I don't like is how long it takes/is very repetitive. I think if there were more mini-tasks that can be chosen from, it could've been a lot more fun! 

Also, I'm not sure if this was intended or not, but the game kinda just stopped progressing after 50%. No matter how many tasks I did, it always stayed at 50%. Might just be a bug though.

I like the overall feel of the game though, great work!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words. :) 

I was not sure if anyone recognize the stomach. :) 

Yes, i will definitely add some more variation of the mini games after the jam. Thank you for your feedback! :)

I don‘t know what happened in your game, but usually the Backup only stop progressing if there is currently a „bug“ active. Otherwise there should be a progress. Did you play it only one time? Or does this problem appear every game? :)

This game was really cool, I loved the art style especially! Did you make everything yourself?

The little mini games were fun, and it was entertaining trying to keep on top of everything. Reminded me of among us lol

I think the game could benefit from coding it to make sure you don't get the same bug twice in a row (I had the set firewall on one 3 times in a row).

Great stuff dude :) (The intro music was the best part, it had me pumped from the get go!)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your kind words. I‘m glad you like the Art and the Game. :)

Yes, i draw everything by myself :)

Thank you for your feedback. I will definitely try to solve the problem with the same bug in a row after the jam. :)

Oh wow, i thougth the music was the worst part of my game because i‘m not a musician and that was the first try to create some own music. Thank you! ☺️

It took me time to figure our that I need to use E key to fix the server. But it's a fun game and the concept is very nice.

Developer(+1)

the Controls are shown in the Menu :) maybe I should show the controls also while playing.

Thank you for trying my Game :)

Very well done.

It is like Overcooked Server Edition!

Some feedback

  • Add some more minigames especially when entering the computer
  • Add variable servers needing rebooted

I had fun and enjoyed. Good job!

Developer

Thank you. I‘m glad you like it and had fun. :)

Yes i will definitely add some more variations of Minigames after the Jam. Thank you for your feedback :)

Not my type of game :/

Developer

Nice!  I ran to run servers as fast as I could.  Alas it was not enough and my boss was surely disappointed.   The art direction for this is great!

Developer

Thank you! I‘m glad you like it :)

Haha then you have to try it again 😬
