I love how the music is like an alarm, it gave me PTSD though XD The Intro is charming, i kept smiling when reading it. and damn is the art beautiful

The Pacing at the end making you panic with so many task there's to do. The Artwork and the Narrative are so lovely I love 10/10 ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ

Loved the pacing of the jokes (both during the cutscenes and the way the minigames became progressively more ridiculous), and loved how expressive the characters are. I've seen a number of games in this jam that had you control THE MACHINE as a timer is ticking down, but your game is unique in how you chose to approach the setup - with humor that appropriately matches the absurdity of the situation. Amazing work!

Fun game, unique idea for this theme, great artwork, I like the story, the rest is just almost spot on but could be perfect, good job!

This is a reaally fun game, especially because of great sound design. Also a great story. Btw, yes I read that line in the "Nuclear safety and you" which said I won't read it, and I see that there's a salmon recipe in there :)

fantastic. the demon core reference is diabolical. i fail to see how petting a kitty stops a nuclear meltdown, though
excellent game, really stressed me out

Submitted(+2)

This was amazing, but oh my god my blood pressure. I burst out laughing the first time the cat popped up. Amazing, 10/10 no notes.

I thin I had an actual meltdown mid play

really cool mix of task 

Submitted(+2)

Horribly stressful but a very fun play! I loved the artwork and the audio tied it all together. a masterpiece truly.

Submitted(+3)

this deserves to win honestly, the random tasks poppin up on top of eachother really made me anxious and try to do them all but then got everwhelmed and clicked random stuff at that point. Good game and great job on everything!!

Submitted(+2)

This game gave me a minor anxiety attack but I loved every second of it. 10/10 would play again, especially since I got path B (though I’m a bit confused, since my green bar was completely full at the end). A very interesting concept and take on the theme :D

Man, i hate the rhythm minigame

Submitted(+2)

That was incredible. I will keep playing to get the other ending, but i enjoyed seeing the meltdown and the music going into calm acceptance of the situation. loved the art, loved the writing, loved the minigames, loved the chaos. Everything is to be loved here, You all did such a great job and I'm glad I got to play this one. Probably one of my favorites for this jam <3

Submitted(+2)

got the core meltdown ending. the sandwich minigame made me laugh. unfortunately I had to turn the volume to nearly muted because oh my gosh that alarm was killing me. Got a chuckle out of the story, and loved the art - congrats to your team!!! 

Submitted(+2)

awesome game,  5/5 :)
I got the ending B twice because I did poorly but the voice acting before the explosion made me laugh both times. lol

Submitted(+2)

This game was a full sweep in every category for me! 

I most enjoyed the art, it was very cute and well done :D

Amazing job, keep it up!

Submitted(+2)

I had so much fun playing this game hahaha

It got me a little tense at the end when the alarms got louder but the minigames were fun. My favorite is the alien one, the kid and the lollipop always appear in the worst moment haha
The crashout of the secretary on ending A is funny but I agree with everything she said xD
I look quickly before the ending starts and it’s amazing that I did like 84 minigames, it didn’t feel repetitive and went quickly

The design of both characters is great, I really like both! In general, the visuals of the game are pretty and nice. Also I like the captcha drawings, the little axolotl is cute and the cat with the fish hat haha
The audio in this game is great, it feels real and the sounds don’t drown the other ones, it’s nice to hear all at the same time but knowing what is happening despite all the tension

About feedback, I don’t think I can give some, all feels complete, I didn’t found a bug except with rotating fast the knobs not detecting the area it should land but I think is a little thing it can be overlook since UI elements can be tricky to handle in short jams haha

This game is entertaining and a great 1st game as a team!

Genuinely one of the best games I've played in a jam.  The Narrative and writing was funny, the art was beautiful and stimulating, the gameplay was stressful and funny, the humor in your game with the horses and that fucking kid with the lollipop.  Huge shout out to the music too, the dynamic track based off of the game state, the chord progressions for the reactor meltdown, as our team's main sound designer and music composer, I aspire to be able to create the sonic experience that Yuzu made for this game.  Cheers to your team! Looking forward to see what you create next <3

This game was such a fun and memorable experience! The mix of tension, humor, and polished gameplay works incredibly well. The art, writing, and sound design give it so much personality, and I had a great time playing through it.

Keep working and nobody explodes (I failed).

R.I.P. Perfectly Average Secretary (2026-2026). You were not average to me.
