I love the countdown management in this game! Trying to stop your multiple microwaves from waking up Grandma while also making as much money as possible is a really fun challenge.

This was so much fun!! The concept is super simple but it feels like there's a bunch of different strategies that the player could try to get a better score, like trying to time new microwaves to start after other ones so you can activate them in an easy pattern. I also really enjoyed the challenge of unlocking the highest-tier microwave. This game reminds me of the simmotion challenge from Survivor. Awesome game!!!

Really cool game.  I beat it in 182 seconds.  I like the progression.

My only complaint is that I feel like the name of the game is a bit too short.  The name should be longer...  JK.

Great job!

This game was fun, thanks for sharing! I liked the tension between buying more microwaves, and having to manage more microwaves. Outside of the final microwave, buying a new microwave always meant more to manage, and quickly.

But still very fun and creative!

The polish is really nice on this, and I got extremely locked in near the end where everything had such low timers haha

Developer

The presentation was immaculate and the concept seems great, but sadly it broke on my screen making it kinda unplayable ): 

Developer

Hi dear 👵 Thank you for your positive comments! We think that bug is due to Windows OS screen zoom being set above 100%, which is silly and we have no idea how to fix it (but will figure it out for next time). Sorry it didn't work well for you - but thank you for playing!

I really enjoyed the game. The music feels good. 
A very simple concept but put together very nicely
Nice work guys

Developer

Fun incremental.  Biggest problem I had was buying upgrades was pretty difficult without a microwave timing out in the late game.

 But as microwave-likes go, this one was well put together, visuals were cohesive and looked good.

Thank you so much lovely 👵

Very nice entry! Unfortunate the microwaves got a bit close to eachtoher, but the gameplay feels suprisingly calming for this stressfull game! Thanks for making this!

Developer

Thanks for playing dearie 👵 Glad you could make it work even with the bug!

Really nice entry! Time management required to click on the microwaves on time and buy new ones was kinda stressful but also surprisingly fun!

Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you dear! 👵

Don't wake up grandma with the microwave is the best narrative

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! 👵
