I love a good short story and you guys really did a great job. Props on the audio and voice acting. Not sure if you'll expand this later but if you do I'd be really exited to revisit this world.
Fun game. Like others have mentioned, it reminds me of Getting Over It. With a bit more refinement and polish, specifically for the controls and physics, I think you got a great game. Loved the art style.
I had a lot of fun playing, even though the 3rd boss became invisible out of nowhere and felt a bit unfair. I also liked your use of geometrical shapes to represent the different enemies.
For some reason I couldn't read the top text of the instructions so I was very lost while playing. I think the idea is pretty good and you should iterate over it after the review period is done.
Good idea and fun puzzles. The mechanics are a bit strange and the objectives were not super clear, especially when the cards get switched up in order. Keep it up!
I'm very impressed with the fact that you recorded so many voice lines. The game also looks really good. It's a shame that the mechanics don't necessarily provide the best experience but I think you could explore this idea further. Cheers!
Lol I never thought of it that way! (Clicking on a naked childs back) Thanks for playing! At the very beginning we were going with a straight up Cookie Clicker look and feel so the pixel art was geared more towards that. After sleeping on it we switched gears and went with the "it's all happening in the main characters desktop" approach. Also, the Tachyon was originally on the bottom left side but that made it so that your eyes had to move a lot accross the screen when going from clicking to buying, to looking at your stats, so we moved the Tachyon to the middle. Maybe a different background with a clothed child would have been better lol
The idea is great and intriguing. I really think there is a great game behind it. You should explore it further once the review period for the jam is done.
I like the audio and the very distinct color scheme. It reminds me of those levels in Braid where you had to rewind to leave a "shadow" version of yourself to solve puzzles.
Really enjoyed it although it can be a bit frustrating having to redo the stuff you've already done. A lot of games in this jam are based off of that mechanic and like I said, it becomes a bit dull. At least in this game you don't start from the very beginning when the wizard hits you. Overall, very solid game! Keep at it.
The game needs to be a bit more forgiving of human mistakes. Players should be able to have some degree of error in their trajectory. I couldn't get past the second level just because I wasn't able to retrace my steps as perfectly as the game demanded. Keep it up!
Correct. Although the Infinity values were not intended per se, we did intentionally make the abort sequence play out indefinitely, so that it's the player who decides to take action and abort the program, and we took the necessary precautions so that the game doesn't crash and players are able to see the final sequence.
Thank you! When the theme was revealed we knew we wanted to tackle it in some way that not many people would. We were heavily inspired by Cookie Clicker and later on we came up with the setting (game takes place in a computer desktop). I'm glad it came across as unique.
I'll be playing and reviewing your submission on my Twitch channel this week. If you'd like, post your game in this post so I definitely don't forget (I wont but it doesn't hurt).
Everyone! Thanks for all the replies and especially thanks to everyone who played and rated my game. I'll start playing and reviewing you games this Monday afternoon and will go on throughout the rest of the week!

First, a shameless plug for my submission, Tachyon Clicker. It's a short tycoon game with a (sad) story. I'd really appreciate you playing and rating it.
Post your games here and I'll play and review them on stream on my Twitch channel. Start date is this Monday afternoon and will go on for the rest of the week.
