Really fun game! The game has a lot of charm and humor, and I’m a big fan of the little bite-sized minigames sprinkled throughout. I think the satellite dish minigame’s controls are a bit unintuitive; I was able to figure out what the game wanted me to do, but it still took a while to manually stop the reticle with the mouse. Otherwise, awesome job!

So I really enjoyed this once I understood what I was supposed to do. The Hint system is honestly a great touch because when I first booted this up, I was totally lost (which is honestly great for the concept! Just the first time I had no clue, I thought the browser version was missing something)
It would've been nice to have the phone ring because there were a few tries of this where I didn't even notice hints, the outline of the phone is a bit faint.
It's like a fun mini-game centred take on an 'escape the room' and I REALLY REALLY dig that, more unorthodox than I was expecting.
3D runs GREAT in browser, I've been having a lot of problems with other in-browser entries making my Mac explode, so I appreciate that it works flawlessly on web.
My ony problem is like others here, I clicked every button on the Radar Dish Minigame and couldn't get it to behave or figure out what I was supposed to do. ESC or space didn't let me exit the minigame, so I was stuck. I would love to revisit if anyone can figure out what I did wrong or how to progress after the dish minigame. Fun idea and great humor.
I got a good kick from playing this. Only snag I hit while playing was I had to give the radar dish minigame a couple of tries because it threw an exception the first time. Other than that though I'm a big fan of the approach you took for this jam's theme, great work!
