This game absolutely ruled  easily one of my favorites so far. The humour, the multitasking, the minigames, the whole “braincell chaos” vibe was spot on. (pls pplay my game)

This game ruled. One of my favorites so far. But that fuckin blue guy is sooo useless.


Gameplay was really fun! Really enjoyed the minigame, but damn is that throwing the brain into the bin game hard. 

One thing I noticed tho were that sometimes I felt like the pathing to the computers was a little strange, especially at the end level. Like the brains wouldn't path to the closest possible computer. And also, flicking the yellow guy could be really finnicky due to the camera perspective.

Also, I kinda felt like I was "gaming" the system a bit. if I just tapped my mouse on the yellow or pink guys, I could reset their timer to stop working which I did a lot before I thought a minigame would show up. works the same with the green guy, just with W.

But overall, really enjoyed this one. Stellar gameplay tbh.

Somehow, throwing the brain into the bin was the hardest minigame haha. I like the unique style and humour in the game. It's really impressive for all those 3d assets and animations to be made in just 4 days, good job with that! I'd give a 5/5 in creativity

Very fun and frustrating(in a good way); the mechanics were simple, fun, easy to learn and adapt to, same with the mini-games. I ran into a bug where, when moving the purple brain cell, a mini-game pops up mid-drag; the guy will get stuck on screen, moving with the mouse. One mini-game that generally annoyed me was throwing the brain cell into the rubbish; the bin was at a weird angle, and I struggled with depth perception, as well as the mechanic of throwing the cell not working as well with high-sensitivity mice. This mini-game could do with a rework; I would place the bin in the middle of the screen with a depth indicator and replace the manual throwing with the same slingshot mechanic used by the yellow braincell.  All in all, good game with good art, mechanics, music and sound design.

I'm gonna flick that yellow brain cell right outta Bob's head! 

I loved the theme, the little distraction mini games, the "wah wah wahs," everything was really well done. Great job!

I had such a good time playing this. Beyond the fact that it looks phenomenal, the gameplay loop of having to control the different braincells in different ways based on their color, along with the mini game distractions made it very engaging the whole time. My only small gripe is that the slingshot control for the yellow braincells is a bit more finnicky in detecting the direction that I am trying to go than I would prefer. Some awkward controls here and there aren't necessarily that bad for a game like this though.

The different quality settings were a nice touch. Wabba wabba wah. 

I absolutely loved the art. The drawings and animations were fantastic, and the whole game looked amazing.

I did run into a bug where I threw a file into the recycle bin and it never spawned back. I also enjoyed the mini games, although they started to feel a bit repetitive when I had to play five of them in a row.

Overall, really impressive work!

We are all quite proud of the art we managed to get done this year. Very proud of everyone on the team actually! We will have to look into the recycling bin issue if we do a post jam release, probably got stuck on a hidden shelf, sorry about that! 

Thank you so much for playing, I'm gonna check out Illegal CatNip Lab! -Kaylee

Overall a very great game! I loved the multitasking I had to do and the wa wa wa was were funny. Very engaging and fun!

Thank you so much for playing! I loved recording the little wawawa audios. I did a little song too but we didn't quite have a place to include it lmao. I will check out CountDOWn to WIN! -Kaylee

Pretty amazing game, it got a bit repetitive, felt like the rounds should be a little shorter but way more hectic. The audio was well done, but the wa wa wa wa wa got a little repetitive. Still a great game though!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Knowing what we know now (average amount of playtime + how many minigames we could get done in the 96 hours) I think we would have had the time shorter overall but regardless I am so happy with how it came out! I will check out A week to retirement! -Kaylee

Im giving you 5 stars in everything, this is amazing! The toss the brain minigame is frustrating but honestly not that bad, I just need practice.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! Brain toss takes a bit to get used to but it's so satisfying when you nail it. I'm gonna check out T-15 TO EXTINCTION right now! -Kaylee
