Well that was stressful :D loved it, I wish there was a way to throw away papers but I guess that would make the game a bit too easy ^^"

Congrats on a very well done game! I could definitely see this turn into something bigger :)

EDIT: After replaying a couple times, I noticed the music is really well timed, well done!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah we thought of that but if you accidentally got rid of one module you needed then you would be softlocked, so we didn't have time to think of a way to counter that - but ultimately I think it's better this way :3

We've been so infinitely lucky to have a good response on the game that we've been hard at work for the past week in order to get ready for a Steam release, so who knows... Maybe the Steam page will already be up by the end of this month 🤔

A very interesting idea - I liked the puzzles and the concept of having a messy desk you need to scout through to find the references.

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :D

cool game

Developer

Thanks! Cool comment 😎

Well. it's official I'm bad at puzzles. At least I forced myself and managed to win after 5 attempts.

Developer

Well, the good news is that the completion time we've seen from playtests go from 15m-1h, so only 5 attempts is actually a really good result :D

Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in @ 3:41:28 <3 This is was a really good entry! I was stressed out by my messy desk but we saved the world!

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed and congrats for beating it so fast :D

A ton of fun! I never could figure out the A module but the rest were a nice tense puzzle!

Developer

Thanks! Weirdly enough a few people managed to crack it instantly but spent a little more time figuring out other modules that generally get easily cleared, but regardless of this we've already reworked the module for the next update that will launch as soon as the jam ends :D

Hey, I’m the guy from the Twitch chat! I really liked your game. I loved the art style and how creative all the puzzles were. At first, our brains were melting because we thought we had to solve all three modules and combine the solutions into a single code. Only after reading the game page more carefully we realized that we had to enter three separate codes hahaha. Other than that, I had a lot of fun playing it!

Complimenti ragazzi, avete fatto davvero un ottimo gioco :)

Developer(+1)

Grazie mille! <3 
Yeah we saw a lot of people trying to get one single code by combining the three modules, that's why we updated the "How to play" section in the description - but we're definitely planning on reworking the tutorial (along with some modules) in a way that's easier to read and to understand :D

Submitted(+1)

Really really fun, I thought I would do a lot worse than I did! The dev even said I might be the fastest 👀👀👀 great work c:

Developer

Thanks! Congrats again on beating it so quick xD <3

The game was really good!, At first (like my first four attempts), I could'nt understand what i was supposed to do, so I ended up checking the spoiler section for a hint. Once I figured out one puzzle, though, everything clicked and the game flowed really well for me.

The thing that confused me the most at first was that the reference module also contains reference panels (I probably didn't notice the "n//" in the code block), but as I said, once I understood how it worked, everything made sense.

I honestly don't have anything else to mention. To me, this basically feels like a complete game rather than a game jam project. Great job!

Developer

Thanks! We will definitely make big changes to the tutorial section in order to make it more understandable - that's entirely on us (and on the tight submission window, but that's easy to blame) :3

Well-made bomb defusal, what else is there even to say? I have no qualms, I simply really like this game. Great job! Congrats on submitting for the jam! I wish you the best.

Developer

Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it! :D <3

This game is amazing. it's a shame it only has 35 ratings! The puzzles are so creative and the execution is great. Took my many attempts to win but Absolutely loved it

Developer

Thanks! Yeah it would've definitely been crazy if this made it among the top games in this jam, but given this is our first game we're more than happy with the feedback it's getting and we've already started the procedure of bringing it to Steam (a little too early, who knows!) xD
Over the next months we will continue to create content for it and add polish where needed to smoothen out the experience and make it more approachable regardless of prior experience with these kinds of games :D

I know a few people who would benefit from this as a life lesson lol!
Great concept, was quite stressful but i somehow manage to at least get one done. I feel dumb and genius at the same time. It only takes one to save the world.
Great vibes guys, loved the take on theme and artwork.
Great work!

Developer

Thanks!! :D

this rules. super stressful but suitably so!! had a couple close calls and many failures. Awesome!!

Developer

Thanks! Hope you managed to defuse it in the end xD

Really creative. It was tough for me to get a grasp of what to do on my first playthrough, 2nd time around was a bit better. I liked the art style and the sound track too. Overall good game. my brain hurts

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah I totally get what you're saying xD
What we wanted was exactly something that would hurt your brain, but a little less much with every restart :)
