Submitted

Those comments will live in my head rent free for the rest of my life! Fun game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Everyone here likes the CPU lol.

Submitted

What a great game. Kidding!

Actually, I did quite like it. 

Developer(+1)

You dare use my spells against me, Potter?

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Hahaha, the commenter is really cool and meme-worthy. When they said "Bruh," your rating instantly went up by +1. You're doing great! 😆

Developer

Thank you, and thanks for playing!

Submitted

The narration, music, and level design are all fantastic!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the compliments (btw its my friend who made the music) and thanks for playing!

Submitted

Quite the rollercoaster for that poor little circuit lol. Very creative and fun game overall. The atmosphere getting progressively more edgy and weird adds a lot to the immersion. Well done!

Developer

Guessing you meant the CPU, but they had it coming haha.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Good game :)
Was really fun and really enjoyed it :D

Developer

Thanks for the compliments, and thanks for playing!

Developer

I finally have been able to put up the actual music version, thanks @sifud808!

Submitted

Really fun, good job !

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Love the concept! Computer man was funny and some solutions were very clever! Margin for error on these puzzles is tight so can be frustrating to reattempt the same puzzle again and again even when you know the solution but was satisfying to be able to make it to the end of the game! 

Developer

Thanks for all the compliments, and thanks for playing!

Submitted

I enjoyed playing your game! Very cool concept and I loved the difficulty/tension ramp here. The banter from the CPU was everything. Thanks for making and sharing your game!

Developer

I love the CPU too (:

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Nice game and well designed levels! I thought battery life limiting how far you can travel is a really cool concept. Are the Z/ERR switches there as an extra challenge?

Developer

Yeah, they are there just for the challenge.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

How many times have I seen the sign "BRUH"? A LOT )

Developer

Lol, the CPU is just tired of your deaths.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

This was so good! It becomes the right level or Hard as it goes. Good music too. 

Developer(+1)

It's ironic you say good music because it's literally a placeholder lol. I'm going to change it once my friend actually finishes the music.

Thanks for playing!

Developer

I've updated the music now if you wanna listen to it.

Submitted (1 edit)

I wouldn't say it's better, but it gives a different vibe to the game. It's a little calmer in my opinion. Still a bop tho.

Submitted

Great, I love being shouted on by a CPU :)

Developer(+1)

Fr I love then having the CPU overheat then go into a temper tantrum and try to kill me like they're Wheatley from Portal 2.

Submitted

Great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Submitted

The music and the sound effects are really loud.

Developer(+1)

Sorry, I'll try to lower those.

Btw the music is a placeholder anyway so don't worry abt that hopefully I can replace it.

Developer

I've made them quieter now if you would like to play again?

Submitted

Good game. It even has a Portal reference. The pitch of the text SFX is too high for my liking.

Developer

I understand, I'll reduce the volume.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

That was fun! I'm really proud of myself for making it to the end – at some point, every level felt difficult enough to be the last one. If you update the build, it might be nice to add a level indicator (like 6/9). It could slightly break the feeling of anticipation for victory, but it should help players not to give up right before the finish line. Thanks for your work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I usually don't add level counters but I'm fine with giving some subtle hints.

And yes I will update the build due to needing to replace the music so its convenient.

Submitted

Nice concept, i really like dialog, but i stuck on 3 or 4 level, However, Great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

If you were stuck because you didn't know where to go, I think you're talking about the one where you can go around the electricity offscreen.

Submitted

yeah maybe
