I am amazed on what you managed to do in 3 days. The computer ui got me by surprise. Good job! 

Developer

Thank you! Appreciate it for trying it out! :D

Nice, really cool having voice acting and diagetic UI.

Some issues with web build camera as others have said but otherwise very nicely done!

Developer

Thank you! I do reccomend trying out the Windows build but I did update the build already so you can retry it again if you'd like! Thank you for giving it a go!

Stressful game lol. But the gameplay is quite fun. I can see where you're going with the theme, having to decide between making credits and spending them.

The environment is really good too, with all of the ambient sounds and stuff. It adds to the atmosphere. Though it do look similar to Iron Lung, especially with the main menu xD

Developer(+1)

Thank you! It is heavily inspired by Iron Lung! xD Appreciate you for giving it a go!

the vibe was so amazing, i can feel the suffocation, closed room phobia kicks in, and the visual all complementing each other. great work!

Developer

Thank you for trying it out! I'm happy to hear that you find the vibes awesome!

This was super cool! I loved the theme interpretation! It took me a bit to understand what I was doing, but once I got the hang of it was very fun. Well done!

Developer

Thank you for giving it a go! I'll definitely consider clearer instructions to improve the game!

Very neat theme implementation. I'm not a big clicker fan but I like what you've done. The art, mood and sounds definitely made me feel claustrophobic.

Developer

Thank you for giving it a go! Some people tend to main the Memory Game and the Guess the Number one instead of the Clicker which is fair xD. Thank you for the compliments on the vibes as well! :D

Submitted(+1)

The atmosphere of this game was amazing! Random sounds freaked me out. The terminals gave me serious FNAF 3 vibes. Liked the idea of upgrading a program a lot to increase its efficiency. I'm torn on it because on one hand, it makes the game more replayable by making it so you can focus on a different game next time, but on the other it gets a bit repetitive. My arm and mouse did not like me after 17 minutes of mainly Clicker lol

Overall though I thought it was fantastic. Good job!

Developer

Nah that's fair enough! At the moment, every game is available to the player (I made it double click to open which might've been a mistake since people think it was an unlockable upgrade xD). But upgrades and stuff are definitely something to consider in the future! Thanks for giving it a go!

Really well put together, just a nice little atmospheric plate spinning game. The environment brings a whole lot to some very simple mechanics.

Developer

Thank you for tying it out! Appreciate you complimenting the environments!

Cool game, loved it ! the 3D assets are great

Developer

Thanks for trying it out! I do love the 3D assets (its premade in the credits xD).

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that it kept you on your toes! :D

very fun game I love to play its great work!!!

Developer

Thank you for trying it out! :D

Very funny concept! Managed to survive for 13 minutes. The visual of frantically trying to earn credits on the computer while the sub is filling with water around you is hilarious. Also 10/10 voice acting.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for trying it out! Also thanks for the compliments on my voice acting lol

3 5-stars! I'm surprised by how polished it is! "I'm not paid enough for this..."

Developer

Thank you! I'm honored to receive your high rating! and indeed, "I am not paid enough for this" xD.

Best dialogue ever

Submitted(+1)

I liked the computer. Very cool. Also, walking around to buy things was also an interesting mechanic. Good job! 

Developer

Thank you! Appreciate it for trying it out!

Voice acting is wild lol.. this was fun despite the camera bugs, good job.

Developer

By all means I am not a voice actor HAHA. I do reccomend trying the Windows build since the camera bug only happens on the web build! Thank you for giving it a go!

Nice game. Loved the atmosphere. Great submission.

Good luck with the jam.

D

Developer

Thanks for trying it out!

The sound and all really created a cool atmosphere. The controls were a bit clunky, even on the desktop. I couldn't spin all the way around. But still well done, I enjoyed it.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for trying it out! Ah was it? It worked fine on my end and I can spin all the way around. When you started the game did you click your mouse on the screen immediately?

Its pretty annoying when these bugs happen on computers that I don't own HAHA. But I guess that's the cost I have to pay for doing a game jam xD. Still glad you enjoyed it though sorry for the unfortunate clunky experience!

It might have been my setup, since I use Windows Sandbox for downloads

Developer(+1)

Ahhh that might have been why! Good to know though so I can potentially fix it for the future! Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool! I loved the scenario. Great job indicating problems with minimal HUD as well. The gasping for air instead of an oxygen meter was a nice touch.

Developer

Thank you for giving it a go! The oxygen gasping is kinda inspired by the way Subnautica does its oxygen decrease by slowly fading out the screen. Great to hear that you liked the implementation!

Submitted(+1)

I appreciate the unique gameplay concept with oxygen loss and water leaks in the 'iron lung' inspired game. It would be helpful to have clearer indicators for unlocked and blocked minigames. The diegetic UI elements, like the walkie-talkie introduction, add a nice touch. It could be improved by making the timer and credits design more cohesive. Overall, great work!  Iloveed it!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Really appreciate it for trying it out! Very similar feedback to one of the other ones before. The Credits and timer is being diegetic is definitely something that I would improve int he future! The minigames are never blocked and are all unlocked from the start, my theory is the same as the other comment, you might've clicked it once instead of twice so it seemed like its blocked which is my bad, I should've made it clearer rather than just putting it in the readme since some people might miss it. Thanks for the feedback!
