This game was the first to come up for when when sorting by most popular, and I can see why. The art, sound design, and overall presentation is stellar. I think there are other games that have a bit more engrossing or interesting gameplay and fit the theme more directly, but this was an amazing experience!

Is Your Microwave Running?What a well-realized game! I truly enjoyed it. Deserves to be longer. The pipe minigame was a tricky one.

TICKERDOWN DAYDREAMThe time slowing down was simultaneously a very creative feature to add and also a frustrating one to play. Slowing down movement (and music!!) was cool, but once you get past a certain time you just can't move fast enough to catch back up. The art and music of course is incredible :)

untitled minigame gameReally high quality! Awesome work in such a short time, especially making so much beautiful art and sound. Very on theme and a great idea! The gameplay was a bit tough for me, especially the pipes game since the pipes look aligned but are only slightly off on art; so I unfortunately couldn't get far into the story. Great job!

VEI (Corrupted Cartridge)Very high polish, but this feels like a chore simulator with a narrative attached

Flux CaliberThe quality all around is really great! The time slowdown is a great idea and it adds tension. It does get a little frustrating to move so slowly when you need to fix more things, not sure how that could be fixed.. maybe adding a way to get back to the first level from above quicker would ease that slightly? like a fireman pole or something

Tempo TakeoutWhat do you mean this is a jam game ? Genuinely what do you MEAN this is a jam game? This was literally engineered to be the perfect entry for all criteria. The characters, the music, and even the balancing are all so well fine-tuned. Hats off to y’all.

vardrain--This being created in only 4 days is exceedingly impressive. Every little fix-up mini-game was different and fun; the characters were cute, the art is beautiful, and the music is beautiful. Just wow. The pacing/amount of things needed to fix between unlocking a new floor felt perfect. Amazing job!
