I really enjoyed the art style and the sound effects! They worked really well and came across quite professional. The cable/plug mechanic is clever and innovative - think you've done an amazing job.
Thank you for the kind words!
I always look forward to sound design in these jams. It seems to add a lot of tangibility to the game. And that in turn encourages me to keep plugging away (pardon the pun).
Cute little game. I can see this doing very well as it fits the theme and the game feels very polished
This game looks very cute and I like the fact that you plug things in with your face, with your eyes being a socket. Sadly, I got soft-locked between the mobile battery pack and the crane.
Sorry about that. I noticed it can happen sometimes, but didn't have a good solution. After the jam, I'll try to upload a fixed version.
Thanks for giving it a shot anyway :)
Great game design! Loved how you introduced the mechanic clearly and iterated on it from there. Cute character design and animations, too! Reminded me a little of a pixely Chibi-Robo haha. Would love to see this idea expanded more! :)
You're right! I didn't realize the resemblance while creating him. His design even started out kinda tall haha.
If I can come up with some interesting ideas, I'll definitely add some more content!
A really cool game, really nice art style and sound FX are very fitting
wow, that was awsome, loved the idea, would be epic to see it expanded
Nailed the theme!
Benson is all about taking it to the face!
Good job and good luck!
Really cool art direction! It felt nice to control and it reminded me of Limbo in terms of game design. Would love to see more.
The concept is still engaging to me even after the jam, so more content is certainly a possibility.
And, I can definitely imagine Benson and the kid from Limbo taking turns pushing a big box back and forth.
The execution on the animations and sounds are exemplary! The puzzles to were enjoyable, great job on this one :)
Oh damn you will get in the top one I can feel it! GG
The animations and sound effects are gorgeous!
I really wish this was longer, I feel attacked in my attachment to Benson. I legit started laughing so hard when he shoves his face into the plug. Great idea, you should definitely do something with this after the jam!
I very well might! Though I'm nervous to return to my slapdash, made-while-half-asleep code structure. *shivers*
Thanks for playing, and sorry for what I did!
You made me love him, THEN YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME!
Great pixel art, idea and sounds!
Noooooooooooooo!
You can't do that to my boy!
You can't just make me love a character, love his animations, his sounds, the puzzles he finds himself in, and then just do him dirty like that!
Amazing game, my heart yearns for more!
Sorry! There is an alternate ending, though :)
I'm very happy you enjoyed the game!
There is?! 0.0
Just gonna go play again and try and find it... don't mind me...
hehe *plug noises*
I got scared when I saw the connection animation-
But i like game
I'll admit the animation is a little morbid haha. Thanks for playing!
nice game! Really fits the Theme well.
Great Visuals and Sound Effects too!
Thanks! The audio was very important to me :)
it is a nice game
theme of the game jam is so perfect
the art style wonderful and the puzzle is so good
but unfortunately the game is to short
the puzzle is simple
Thank you! I agree that a little more challenge would be ideal.
Nice Game.Great idea and implementation.
Thank you!
short but a cute game.
fyi, i stucked at the lamppost area. i can't find a spot to help me climb up like your screenshot. but somehow i trigger a bug that the crane just keep functioning without me plugging to socket. And that's how i finish the game
I'm glad it all worked out! Thanks for playing through the game :)
Wow! Perfect! The connection animation is ssoooo cute! Great job!
His little waddle is what kept me going! Thank you for playing!
