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!

Developer

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!

Developer(+1)

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

Developer

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!

Developer(+1)

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!

Lovely art and really satisfying interactions with the world! A fun interpretation of the theme.

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!
