Hard but fun game. Playing it give me the feel of when i used to play flash games that used a similar art style, good old days. :)
I love the detail of the jiggling wires, its so simple but adds so much. The AI character is fun, too; not sure if he was supposed to be intentionally lying or just a nervous newbie wreck, but I like him. Its a nice bomb-defusing puzzle game overall with a great presentation!
Cool game! But I must be an idiot because I can't get past level 1!
My biggest problem with this game is that there is too much text and also I have to press the scroll button????? Who does that? Also if you have a lot of text, you should make sure it's easy to read, your text is a little too small.
Other than that the gameplay is good, I am bad at the game, but I can recognize that it's good. You should just spent a little more time on the UI, that's it.
The game was very cool and polished, but I wasn't exactly clear what to do 100% of the time and would get stuck sometimes. other than that cool game!
It's quite the interesting concept! It was quite good, though hard to figure out what you needed to do at times. As many others have said, it can become trial and error. It's likely due to both the lying AI and that we don't know what the wires do, so we don't have enough information to figure some things out on our own.
Next time do not copy too much sentence from another person's comment. You don't have to write a feedback, but if you will just use your hands, not only your eyes.
I played the game and read some reviews. I thought it was a valid criticism and shared the sentiment.
actually one of the coolest games i've tried for the jam
I really like the concept, but the puzzles are very confusing... If the AI lies sometimes, it becomes like a trial and error thing. At least for me, it's not super fun to just click around until something happens. I think giving proper hints, or showing clearly that what the AI is saying on that hint might be a lie, would make it better. But besides that, the art is great and the humor is really fun too! It's a really cool concept! Good work ^^
Yes, you're so right in every criticism of yours. In the future, I will add meaningful game loop and AI dialogues, as you said we can't know which one is true and which one isn't, it just becomes rogue-like game. Thank you so much for your feedback!
You have a good idea on hands, go for it! Great job finishing it up for the jam! ^^
I think I'm just too dumb for this game, I couldn't get past level 2. The game feel is on spot, though. Visuals are good, too.

It's like keep talking but nobody explodes but your playing with an ai. Cool game.
try out mine too if you want : https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-4/rate/1663718
A very creative project with excellent visuals. But the gameplay was somewhat confusing. I watched your YouTube video for hints :) But you can definitely improve it later. Good work!
fun and great-looking game although it was difficult to understand at first I still found it challenging in a good way.
Although it seems similar to other bomb diffusing game, this one is different.
I liked the communication with the AI and the way puzzles could be solved.
It was a little hard to understand at first what I actually need to do but clicking around made it clearer.
It also fits the theme which is really cool.
This was awesome!
VERY fun and polished game! The gameplay is great, it reminds me a lot of keep talking and nobody explodes! The puzzles are fun and well designed and the art is great! Very impressive!
I would also really appreciate it if you could check out my game!
This is a game you can expand in the future
Wow, the art for this is amazing. I also really liked the sound effects and the concept. An issue I had was that I was mainly switching around random wires until they locked into place (I stopped trusting the AI after it made me blow up). I think this could be made even better if there was more logic behind some of the puzzle elements (Maybe you can see inside the PCBs with some x-ray glasses? you could have multiple layers with a maze of traces and vias).
Yes, you're right at every point. I hope I will expand it later after the jam for the better game logic, graphics and levels, and I will be using your ideas!
Actually locking issue, is not a glitch, it's a real feature (Not a joke). If you place correct wires to right pins, it will be locked to make puzzle easier. But in rush of game jam, i forgot to say it in-game. So this is certainly my mistake.
And yes, main plot twist of the game is not trusting the AI and creating a logic in your head to find which wire positions are meaning explode, which one doesn't.
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. I am looking forward to play your game and write a review as soon as possible.
Cheers!
The visuals are very very good and the game design is great! When will it be released on steam ? (it's so polished that it already looks like a full game )
Haha :D Thanks you very much for your kind words. It's an honor to hear that from creator of SPAICE. Appreciated it.
A neat experience, would be nice to see it expanded in the future maybe
