really liked this one. This game is VERY polished and very fun. There were way too many times where the timer started clicking and I got nervous so I just clicked every number i saw, and actually made it! Really well done

Great idea and a really nice level of polish ! Especially love the narration. Praise Kier !
The severance theme is obvious and also incredibly well done. I think this is the first time I could ever understand what the hell they might be doing in there. The simple fact that you took that theme and turned it into an actual experience is incredible in its own right! I'm not sure I have suggestions for improvement. The difficulty has a nice curve to it and I also liked the coworker quips. Well done!
The sound design and visuals of your game are just marvellous, oh my gosh. Everything felt so clean and satisfying.
Ooh I saw this game at one point in the share your progress channel in the discord and thought it looked amazing, and let me tell you it also plays amazing. Its super well polished and highly addicting. I have a feeling ill be sorting numbers in my dreams cause man this game is satisfying! Thanks for making this amazing game!
Really creative idea, thanks to this I discovered I'd be an awful sorting algorithm. Everything feels really clean and lowkey which I appreciate too.
The sounds are soo satisfying, and the gameplay is fun and addictive, good job on this one!
Nice this was really creative! It was a a good challenge to keep me invested and keep trying which made it very enjoyable.
The idea was just mind-blowing. Super creative! I especially liked the visuals and SFX (the pop pop sound). As others said below, finding a group of numbers beautifully aligned was one of the most satisfying moments :)
What a wildly unique concept, and the immersion that's come out of the incredible attention to detail on the UI and SFX is impeccable (the little chromatic aberration, the messages that give context on the side, masterclass) . Genuinely felt this could have been a job in some dystopian thriller. Mechanically surprisingly varied too! Incredible entry.
Oh, as a Severance fan, I love this so much, not because this is the Severance game, but really because you somehow managed to take an intentionally droning, boring game and turned it into something rather interesting. The little bloop sounds when you pick up numbers? So satisfying.
Now, I understand that as game designers we all have that impulse to add gimmicks to our game to keep it interesting, but personally you didn't need to! I was more than happy sitting there and sifting through the numbers XDD My innie me would do so well in their job.
Anyway, congratulations on submitting for the jam! I wish you the best!
I like the concept of the game a lot, it's very creative! I remember seeing your game's progress on the Discord channel as well. I'm pretty bad at it so I only made it 5 files deep on my first run, but the effects and polish is really nice! I also really feel the stress as I struggle for a long time on a bucket.
One minor issue I ran into is about picking up numbers. The hitboxes for it seems to be quite large, and I would pick up two numbers at the same time unintentionally which made me had to discard a group of numbers that I already found. I need to be quite precise in my mouse movements to make sure not to pick up other numbers. But it was still satisfying to find large group of numbers bunched up together and pick them all at once.
Simple, atmospheric, great SFX and artwork. I love that the game look intimidating at a glance but its presentation are very digestable and distinctive. I'm a sucker for the minimalist style of things but this game is also just good 👏🦭
