Fun idea! Gets overwhelming very quickly but I enjoyed the art and simple gameplay!
Really unique idea for a game!
I was wrong to think managing microwaves was easy :( Super fun game and loved the art!
Heh, sure, I can manage 2 microwaves! A 3rd one? A-alright, I can manage... 4-4th... oh my god...
Simple but very well executed and fun game with cute graphics!
Keep up the good work!
this was super cute and addicting. The more microwaves the more stressful it got, but in a fun way. I loved the art the most :)
I like the colours used and the concept was novel.
So cute and the concept is so clever! I loved it! Amazing entry
Omg the continuously falling microwaves are so stressful haha!! Really cute graphics and fun music! I want to get a good score at microwave and that is a very healthy thing to want :)
absolutely incredible !! The art style is very simple and cute, the micromanager getting beet red (or perhaps as red as a tomato) is a genius idea, and so is the concept of having to stop the microwave just before it finishes and alerts the customers. it all feels very polished in general. very fun and very stressful... you nailed the theme perfectly!
Adorable art style, the crazy character expression are super fun! The rigidbody physics is a nice twist on a simple concept. I got to 65 points, which I'm pleased with
That's way higher than my highest score (like 20) LOL good job!!
What a cute art style, almost made me forget I am there to be exploited for minimum wage on a giant food corporation. Loved the game <3
I got overwhelmed so faaaast, but I understand it's the whole point.
As for feedback I would try to contrast a bit more the clocks, when I got to juggle 5 microwaves it became hard to watch all over. So maybe some chromatic shift could help parse newer from older microwaves.
Aside from that the art style is very good! cute, whimsy, all the checkboxes I need. Music choice is also correct, not distracting, just the right amount of filling.
Good job!
Thank you and I appreciate the feedback!!
Omg, the multitasking here goes crazy. Way to take a standard countdown (timer) and make it super whimsical. I also really enjoyed all the manager’s funny expressions. This was a fun one!
Fun! I spent a lot of time just getting the manager to pose on beat with the music from the title screen! It's a small detail that adds a lot! And the microwaves are all over the place Xd
The Bear Season 6
the idea is fun , especially when they keep piling up , you gotta focus, GG
I think this triggered some PTSD for me! well done creating an authentic micromanagement experience haha
very eye catching and unique gameplay!
cute art! i like the bright colors, the dialogue, and the funny expressions of the guy :)
Very lovely and charming game - the boss's sprite and emotes crack me up. It's reminiscent of what I stop a microwave at 1 second in the middle of the night, because I don't want to disturb / wake up anyone. Also, very impressive that this is developed by one person - well done!
Really enjoyed this! The artstyle, pitch-shift, physics, overall vibe. I got 30 after a few tries, would love to see how manic it gets when you're really good at it!
