I really liked the graphics and the gameplay was really fun! the game is very polished. could you try mine?

Very high quality game! The transitions felt smooth, the game was loaded with special effects, sound effects were perfect, and the art was consistent and well-drawn. Definitely a super fun experience playing - though I definitely did not have the patience to wait 5 minutes and let my impulses give in and mess with the bomb. The game was super annoying and completely on par with the April Fool's theme. Well done! The "time" special theme was also implemented into the core gameplay well.

A really amazing entry! I had a lot of fun playing this one :D

Developer

Wow, thank you!! That seriously means a lot. Totally get not waiting the full 5 minutes, we kinda designed it to mess with your patience haha 😅

Really appreciate the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the game.

This was fun! I liked the multiple different endings and it looks polished! Putting a shiny red button on center stage was diabolical though because I couldn't stop pressing it as it was just too tempting. Nice Job!

Developer

hehe.. the shiny red button had to be there😈
Glad you had fun and enjoyed the different endings!

Submitted

Really clean and polished everything felt intentional and smooth. Would’ve loved to see more endings, but totally understandable with the jam time limit. Great job!

Developer

Glad you felt that way! Yeah classic game jam struggle haha

Pretty nice concept, I would like more endings but I get it it was a short Game Jam. Looks and feels very polished. Good Job!

real solid submission,  capturing both the trickery and the time aspect.  I indeed got fooled, should have read the comments before decripting the letter. Time well spent!

am really liked the game but the morse  code was very annoying

Developer

Pro tip: you can just select the text on the paper, copy it, and translate it using a morse code translator or something

This is great! It was so difficult I just ended up destroying everything on like the fifth try and got an ending, great game

Developer

Haha thanks!

Cool game I loved the sounds but can it was annoying to let the speaker speak but i think thats the whole point of the jam

Submitted(+1)

nicely made and pretty annoying which is the point of game jam. Could you rate mine?

Developer

Thanks, sure!

"A -- Z : LOL ARE YOU ALMOST DONE WITH YOUR TIME TO DECRYPT THIS LETTER? ARE YOU SURE? MAKE, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FINISH THE NEXT ROUND, I'LL HELP YOU, BUT YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE FIRST PART, YOU WILL"

thank you I needed to know what this was

Loved the art. Didn't liked the waiting for the timer to go under some minutes to progress. Overall well made game!

Developer

To be fair, that's part of the troll mechanic, so it's meant to be annoying. But you're right, we added a tip on how to speed up the defuse timer in the game description. Thanks for the feedback!

Very nice submission, nice art style, good sound, nice and subtle not overpowering. I didn't really feel too "tricked" though, it just felt like needing to figure stuff out and then eventually use spoilers to see the endings lol. Good job

Developer

Thanks! We tried to make sure it wouldn’t annoy the player too much, but I guess that wasn’t enough. xD

Wow, this is awesome. Very fun. The voiceover was also top notch. The only annoying thing was there was no way to skip the dialogues and sections I already went through after each time the bomb explodes. 

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah, we had this in mind. To minimize this without spending too much time developing the game, most actions are not limited by dialogue or some kind of clue. For example, if you already know how to get a numpad, hammer, etc, you can get it right away at the start of the game.
