ay ay ay I have some words.

1) I get the absurdity of Russian rouletting against a time in a microwave but with all the scene setting and the music mismatch feels like it was more of an asset tossup than a decision.

2) Putting the player in this situation requires some finesse, some tact, it ends up being jarring in this setting.

I see a world where this can be done with humor and creativity.

very similar to buckshot roulette.. but... I'M AGAINST A MICROWAVE? Very silly, though it did feel pretty RNG, since there wasn't much you could do to skew the odds in your favor.  I had a good time, and I personally actually liked the music!

Don't know if I should be surprised not to see many games with microwaves so far but this is not how I expected to find one! The music doesn't quite match with the setting of the game and I wish there was a bit more to the game instead of just RNG but it's a pretty funny idea I'd like to see more of.

Did I just almost die to a microwave???

The game looks pretty cool! I just wish there was a little more to the gameplay besides RNG and two buttons. I also think that you guys should have used a scarier sound effect for when the revolver fires, because the current one sounds like a bit of a peashooter.  :(

Your game's vibe reminds me of Buckshot Roulette. I think the music can be more intense or maybe silent, but adding like someone gasping for air etc. Glad I didn't have a microwave to worry about playing Russian Roulette.

Really strange concept.  Does fit the theme though.

If you were going for a quirky/horror vibe, the music really didn't fit.  It'd been better to have no music to drive tension, if you did want to make it a horror game.

Its' impressive to turn some mundane object into a game.

Somehow still less dangerous than the microwave-roulette I play trying to defrost raw chicken..

Seriously though, hella hilarious and fun; I didn't realise I could be just as excited about hearing a microwave ping in the virtual world as I do in the real one. Somehow a cuboid with no face distilled more frustration and terror than most character designs. Loved it!

Really fun game of Russian roulette against a microwave. now that's a unique sentence if I have ever heard one

This was a really fun play! unfortunately couldn’t win cause on hard mode i managed to get 3 cycles in and the microwave’s timer was at 00:02 and would jus not go down, really cool game and i like the breakcore beat playing in the background with the visuals that came alongside it ^v^

you know for a game that looked like a coin flip simulator i found myself making more decisions here then in yu gi oh master duel. the 3/3 at the start was interesting because i decided to shoot myself first and got a blank and that was apparently go again? so i shot the microwave and got a hit. then because i picked easy it shott itself so much i thought that WAS teh easy mode until it took one of my lives. by that time we where at teh 4/4 stage and i noticed my timer was higher then the microwave timer so i waited it out.
gg, this game uses timers waaaay better then mine XD

nice way of using the gamejam theme was fun to play and try different difficulties

Good entry for this jam! ^^

I like the execution of the concept, but instead of a countdown of time I think you should have made a countdown of rounds, beacause you can loose time on purpose. Maybe it needs a little more of game feel but all that didnt really lowered my enjoyment of the game. :3

The artwork and audio are also enjoyable. :)

Congratulations!
