One of the best take on this idea !

The art is lovely, everything goes well together, both sounds and visuals, it's all really satisfying. The gameplay is also really polished, right amount of overwhelming ! One of the prettiest games imo 
Impressed by how juicy the game is, you even took the time to make a custom fullscreen button, only one I've seen !

Congratz :)

The Modifier where everything went dark was so hard! Great game. Funny that his name was count down :)

This was pretty fun! It’s nice how there’s some strategy in prioritizing some tasks earlier than others and the last level really felt like a rush while still being manageable.

Took in your game while watching the M3zik youtube stream and giving a review based I what I watched.

Got Rank A first try, without asking I am going to assume that means I am one of the best players ever. 

Fun game, and a nice, silly narrative framework.

nope, get Rank Aaron first, and then you're one of the best players ever

Simple but well executed idea! I liked how you have to quickly switch between so many different tasks under time pressure and other modifiers like the dark room.

Cool art . extra marks for the cute lion and the little mice. Really fun game.

You had some EXTREMELY good polish, especially with animation and with the minigames/tasks. You kept gameplay at its core super simple and the tension and chaos of everything going on as the timer ticks down just adds to the fun - I never once felt frustrated. I also appreciate being given information beforehand about the tasks and throwing in events to suddenly make my life more miserable (in a good way) like the room suddenly becoming dark was also so fun. I think my only suggestion, which is 100% a post jam thing, is just throwing in more variety especially with things like modifiers. I was also unsure of the cobwebs - they didn't pose too much of a threat even if I got webbed haha.

Fantastic game, I can see why it's gotten lots of attention! The butler in the beginning also had me laughing extremely hard. I also did a very silly doodle of your butler

This was honestly a lot of fun, and you can feel how much polish went into the gameplay and the visuals. Short and sweet, I love games where you have to juggle between different microgames

this was genuinely really fun!! i could honestly see myself getting addicted to this, i think a mobile version would be awesome personally, playing this during downtime sounds like a lot of fun!

Fun, loved the art and how polished it felt!

Played till the end, and i gotta say, this is one of the most polished and juicy games I've played (even tho is short and simple) and I have played A LOT of them (this is not good for my health lmao, I need sleep). The astwork was sick.

For the scope of the game I think you did excellently, good job :)

dragging on my mouse is a crapshoot

Could you elaborate?

very fun game! Very easy to get hang of and can get frantic during last minute! awesome experience!

Wow, this was really fun! The controls are simple but the mechanics of each minigame and the time pressure make it really engaging. The art style is charming as well, no notes. Thanks for the game!

This is one of my favourite games of the jam so far. Very creative, great art, audio that makes you feel like time is counting down, multiple levels on the same theme was efficient use of your time in the jam. Seriously excellent.

I love all the little minigames! The only thing I wished it has was more! Great job!

Fast-paced cleaning isn't a genre I thought I'd enjoy this much.

Watching the countdown making it's final few seconds whilst everything’s burning with rats scurrying absolutely sent me. Love the slow ratcheting of panic over time and REALLY appreciate the small details, the little artwork easter-eggs, the really smooth room transitions. Just a fantastic entry.

I actually made a boss theme for this game but it didn't fit anywhere so we scrapped it. It's the best track compared to all the other tracks I made for Che-Kai in my opinion though.
