This mini story game is actually great. The lovely drawings are also great, and i really liked your art style, but sadly I end up on not knowing how to heat up the chicken, even though I did turn the temperature of the room where the microwave is located into 169F. I really liked the story, and the game is brilliant, this is really nicely done!
Thank you very muchh, glad you liked it!! Did you leave the chicken in the tray? After putting it down and turning the thing up, its just a matter of waiting :)
Very much like the concept of this! Making you have to decide on an already decreasing time limit I like a lot. Also the SUPERHOT style of time only moving when you do hits me the right way for sure. Cute artstyle as well. Good job!
Thank you a lot William!! Our main inspiration for the time management was actually a different game, AI Somnium Files haha. But you're right SUPERHOT totally does that too!
unfortunately there are some bugs and I can't play.
But I love the idea! I love how you startet, the fire theme....
I'll add you to my collection and would be happy to play, after bugs were fixed.
For sure, thank you! Would you mind telling us which main bugs don't allow you to play? What device are you playing from?
Really Really cool. Unfortunately I did initially run into the naomi bug like many others. But otherwise this was really awesome. I love the typing random characters on the computer as fast as possible to finish your work.
Thanks a lot!! Glad you enjoyed it haha
It's a pretty good game, but there are a few bugs unfortunately, for example Naomi repeating the password dialogue and not taking her coffee. Good take on the theme!
Thank you very much! We'll post a bug-free update when the jam is over :)
really fun concept! The artstyle fits super well
unfortunately I couldn't finish it because every time I tried, Naomi would be stuck on the same "ask password" dialogue even when I already made her coffee, I'm not sure if I'm just missing something or not
But overall I can definitely see the effort that was put in, it's a really nice entry to the jam
Yeah, crossing Paul's and Naomi's story wasn't tested properly and lead to a lot of bugs, sorry about that. Glad you like the game anyways tho!
Simple but really fun narrative game, well done! Only small issue I had was that the music completely stopped when it restarted, but still really well done!!
Yeah, unfortunately a last minute fix made it so the losing screen crashed on startup, which skipped an ending cutscene and stopped the music. Glad you enjoyed the game anyways!
I'm not a native English speaker and it took more time for me to understand the game, but after overcoming the difficulty it's really fun and cute. It's unbelievable to make such a polished narrative puzzle in a gamejam, nice job! Love the music btw.
Haha thank you very much! :)
This a good narrative game i liked it very much..!
Thank you very much!!
Figuring out how to get them away from their pc was fun. Also like that password doesn't stay them. Enjoyed this little experience. GG.
Thank youu! Yeah we thought if you could just remember the passwords for next loop that would make the game way too easy, so random it is :) Fun fact: you can type the birthday date both as DD/MM or MM/DD and both are correct!
5/5 everywhere. The comedy is great, the gameplay is fun. I love the countdown which brings a sens of time optimization. That's really a great game. A huge congrats!
Thank you soo much!!! We wanted it to be less of just a time limit and more of a dynamic countdown where you actually had to consider if its worth it to do certain actions. Glad you liked it :)
This is fun puzzle game, its little bugy though. Good job. :)
We tried fixing as many things as we could before the deadline, however some small things did slip. Hope you could enjoy it anyway!
This is so good! The art is amazing and the little stories going on with the different characters is so good! Well done!
Thank you soo much!! <3<3
I love this game. Very cute and squishy. The interactions are fire. I like that interactions cost time instead of being real-time. I realllly liked that you got to type code XD
Notes:
Music stopped after my first failure
After getting the coffee I could only ask Naomi for her password. I couldn't give her the coffee even though I had it. This happened twice so I reloaded the game and that fixed it, but it also didn't take the coffee. I could deliver the coffee to her when she was washing at the sink, but it didn't giver her the coffee then either.
I wish the "Heat Food" quest used your ON FIRE PC
The "Pills Labeled 'POOP'" didn't have an interaction arrow so I only found them by accident.
Also nice call on the locker password changing every time
Haha someone else pointed out the cooking on the PC thing! It absolutely didn't occur to us at the time since we found the lunchroom sauna idea very funny. Some of the bugs are already fixed for a post Jam build, but we hadn't heard about the music one so thank you very much!! Have a nice day :)
Very cute art and an impressive amount of dialogue and interactions for 4 days! I loved the part of the story where troncodrilo went to the moon.
Thank you so much!!! May Troncodrilo bless you on all your future endeavors.
polish artwork, smooth animation and gameplay, but i not good at puzzle game is based on text reading, its good to be if give some a visual hint, keep a good work!
Thank youu!! Yeah you really need to read the dialogue carefully to progress, haha
One of the best games of the jam!! The dialogues and characters were very professionally written and the art was great! The idea was quite unique and fit the jam pretty well, and the implimentation was just as good. Great job!!
Thanks a lot! We've never written this much dialogue in a jam before, so we're happy to hear you like it :D
Amazing!! At first i wasn't really sure what to do, but I quickly got into the gameplay. I'ts really fun to play and feels very polished!! Congratss
Thank you friendd! Glad it wasn't too confusing, I would have liked to explain it a little bit more in the beggining haha. We'll play your game very soon ;))
VERY FUN! yea it took me 3times bc the second time was buggy in some ways I think with Naomis code was something. but overall cool concept also that talking was time currency really cool for the theme. the assets we're all very polished i'm amazed and the the laxative killed me. good story and good way of showing how diverse this mechanic can be ! great job!
Thanks a lot for playing! Hopefully Naomi's bugs will be fixed for when the voting is over, sorry for that, but we're glad you enjoyed the experience! :D
This is such a fun game! It took me 3 attempts in total: The first to suss out roughly where everything is, the second to get more or less to the end but not figure out why the Biryani wasn't enough for Alex, and the third to discover the power of a good laxative.
The art is absolutely wonderful. The narrative elements are well designed and the whole things is really quite polished, I only spotted the bug with Naomi.
I presume the locker code is randomised? On my first run it was 6976 and I was going to accuse you of terminal brain rot, but then it was different on the other runs :D.
All in all, a very strong entry and hugely enjoyable. Thank you.
We're glad to hear you liked the art and the narrative, those definitely took the most time to do haha :)
And yes, both Naomi's password and Paul's birthday are randomized every loop to avoid cheesing it, we thought the winning loop would be too short and boring otherwise!
Thanks a lot for playing! :D
