Wow, that first alarm absolutely jump-scared me! This is such a fun and frantic entry. It starts off feeling deceptively easy, but as the difficulty ramps up and all sorts of crazy chaos starts happening around the clock, it gets incredibly challenging and exciting. The voiceovers are hilarious, and popping the balloons is oddly satisfying. The graphics are simple, but the hilarious narrative elements and frantic gameplay loop more than make up for it. Awesome work!
Thank you. I am glad you had fun
I can't believe what a big grin I had the entire time I played it. Now I'll be thinking about the egg-ice dichotomy all day.
Lol. Right? - I am glad you enjoyed it
Loved the game, the concept is awesome ! The alarms are loud, I jumped every time I heard them
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it.
At start it felt like its easy I wont lose...But as the difficulty gradually increased it was becoming fun and more exciting. Hats off devs!!!!Also the voice overs was damn crazy.
Thank you. I was a bit worried people would quit on the ramp up but I am glad you enjoyed it
Yeah the alarm sound was very surprising lol :) Nice take on the narration! The core mechanism was simple but all kinds of stuff happening around made it challenging (in a good manner)
Thanks.
Yes the alarm shall get you all. hehe
Time to Complete: 3m 30s

Enjoyed my time with the game
Nice Game!
I am glad you had fun. That is my number 1 goal of anything I make.
Good job! Yeah its a short game. Or long if you don't click the crown, it will just keep looping. And the stuff are using delays so they aren't super consistent when they go off.
The maze idea is interesting. I will keep that in mind. But sorry the alarms were meant to annoy you as much as possible. lol.
