INSANELY good! Unbelievable how it was made in 4 days. There was a problem where a rat got into the corner where a machine was so I couldnt reach it so I inevitably died. Other than that its perfect
Im glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the bug find! We'll try to replicate it (or if enough people encounter it) so that we can detail out how it happens. After that we'll put it on our list of known bugs to keep an eye out for!
A beautifully crafted game, made by what I could only assume some insanely talented and disciplined engineers, artists, musicians, and passionate writers. Thank you for making something so special, and an even bigger thank you for using your platform to highlight other developers! I'm excited to see what you all build next!
very nice looking game! cute art and nice polish... audio was great too!
Absolutely amazing, I can't believe this is a game jam game with all the polish you guys put into it. Lots of fun, I was bested by the final boss unfortunately, but I really enjoyed it!
Looks incredible! I got stuck on plugging the air where it wouldn't close. Had a great time and the tutorial is amazing!
Amazing game! Got a little soft locked in one of the mini games being unable to exit it, but I loved the progression from floor to floor leading to the top floor finale which was a wonderful surprise. Fantastic work for 4 days!
phenomenal!
Nicely done! Stunning and beautifully crafted game, props all around! :D
Wonderful job to the entire team! This game was very polished, the audio and artwork was great. The mini puzzles were fun and quick to do once you figured them out.
This is probably the best game I've played at GMTK 2026. Nice work guys
Everything fit so well, the game design is so brilliant. I think I'd never get bored of playing the little fixing game.
the art style and the music struct the atmosphere so well. This game should be on Steam. I'm sorry to breathe the same air as you guys
this is an incredible entry to this jam. my favorite so far
this is an incredibly polished game for such a short amount of time. great job. my only nitpick is that the rats can get too close to the stairs and make it difficult to hit them.
It's been great to see you back at GMTK! What a new great game. Well cone!
very nice. I got so scared when the time slows down
art style and soundtrack are just TOO COOL! love it!
This is amazing! So much charm and work put into it. The vibes almost remind me of OneShot. I did experience some minor visual bugs on the web version (and somehow I managed to crash the game oops.)
Wow, this is gorgeous! Making a game this polished (with a whole soundtrack??) in just 4 days is incredible. I played with a trackpad so I didn't do very well, but the way you showed the character slowing down through the visuals and music was really cool so I didn't mind dying.
The little rats are my mortal enemies haha
Uow! Incredible. Art, soundtrack, game designm theme fitting..every great!
