How does your game fit the theme?
You have to juggle many countdowns at once. Defuse the bomb!! But also do all the chores mom asks before you get grounded.
(Optional) What would you like to be called if GMTK features your game?

I love this idea. :D This was exactly how it felt to be a child sometimes (except for the bomb maybe). However, I found the watering kind of hard to understand without a hint. It also lags a bit in the browser, but I think the cute graphics and amazing physics interactions are worth it. :) Really nice game!
I liked the wiggling visual representation of objects when selecting them! Also liked the cute vibe of your game!
Cool idea and nice artwork! You should try to develop this further after the event, when you have more time :D
That was great take on the theme! I've made something pretty similar previously for one project, and the hardest part was to make the tasks feel frequent but fair, and I think you nailed that! Also the number pressing sequence to defuse the bomb was cool. Well done!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked our game.
I love the game; I couldn’t get past the second level but it was intuitive and creative. Loved the art style. Great job, and best of luck Lisandro!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. If you ignore mom just the right amount, the second level is pretty doable. Just don’t ever let it reach the three strikes and you’re good. ;)
Ah, I probably wasn’t letting a few strikes go to work on the bomb. Great game, again!
What a lovely game. The cute aesthetic really tricked me into thinking this is a cosy and chill game. It got really stressful! I think whatever feeling dev wants to communicate, it def worked on me. Highly recommended!
Cozy and chill? We don’t do that here. Hahaha. I’m glad you liked it. Thank you for playing.
I was under pressure when I was typing, but I think that was the plan. good job
Yeap, that’s the desired feeling. Haha. Although I wish we had more time to balance it better. Thank you for playing!
Genuinely got stressed running back and forth and trying to manage my time, but I was surprised I actually managed to beat it! It was a little laggy at first on web, I assume as shaders were loaded, but smoothed out thankfully. A fun few minute, and overall well put together. Congrats on the entry!
Thank you for trying the game and I’m glad you enjoyed it! Also good to hear about the performance getting a bit better with time, because I haven’t experienced it but some players have reported that it runs a bit slow. The game is definitely not optimized. Game Jam stuff… haha. Thank you!
And I thought the cooking games were stressful! Great game, but I now need to take a break!
Hahahaha. Sorry not sorry.
I loved when atomic bomb in my bedroom said KABOOM and just KABOOMed over the place.
Really fun and cute idea, love it!
Thank you for trying our game. I’m glad you liked it.
Lovely art and really satisfying interactions with the world! A fun interpretation of the theme.
Thank you for trying our game! I’m glad you liked it.
Fun bomb defusing game. I liked the cardboard and duck tape UI. The 3d models dancing when they need to interact is a nice touch. Good job!
Thank you!
creative spin on the theme and I liked the playful aesthetic. the bomb defusal mechanic was pretty annoying for me and just felt like I was typing in a password or something, took away from the fun. Some bugs with the chores too, like I couldn't fill up the right water bowl. I think this concept is good and just needs a little more polish to be great.
Thank you for trying our game and your feedback!

This is really cool, kinda hard but I love it. Super fun aswell and graphics are really cute. The only problem is that theres a lot of lag in the web version, ended up feeling really clunky. Still a great game!
We’ve tested it in different machines without much issues. Only one laptop with integrated graphics gave us not superb performance. I’m sad it doesn’t run very well for you. Thank you for playing and I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m gonna take a look at your game too. :)
I think this is completely impossible to win ^^' Very charming tho, the 3D art and the menu art too, it all comes together.
It's funny how so many people have made defusing bomb games meanwhile we made a building bomb game. Maybe check out our game if you find the time :)
You just need to ignore mom just the right amount of time. Hahaha. I’ll take a look at your game, yeah! :)
God damnit Waffles how much water do you need?! Great game, you guys executed the concept well!
Hahahaha. He sure drinks a lot of water for an invisible dog! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ll take a look at your game too. :)
This game froze for me too on grabbing crayons part, and it actually made my browser unable to load any other page. I got a high end PC and hardware accel on, firefox browser on windows.
It may be an issue on Firefox on Windows. I don’t know. :(
After the review time is over, I’ll upload a Windows build.
found this game fun, loved that you could push the couch around and the controls felt nice for a jam
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for trying our game. I’ll go take a look at yours now. :)
Its fun but typing the numbers takes a little to long in my opinion. But all in all it is a good game and the art is cool
Yeah, you may be right. We didn’t have enough time to balance it correctly. I’m glad you like it!
