I love concept. There is a lot going on, but i think it shows well how life looks inside a microwave 

Submitted

I didn't really understand what I was doing at first but I think I got the hang of it. I'm also really amused by the Celsius or Fahrenheit setting so great attention to detail with that.

Like the concept, controls feel very slightly confusing as I can't 100% figure out when I'm supposed to time my mirror placement, but I can see the charm in this game. Love it!

Completely and utterly surreal in just a right fantastic way. :)

Opening the game without realizing the check the keybinds was fantastic. The charm of the little goop goobers outweighed how completely at their mercy I felt. The game opens with like twenty of them. But after a couple playthroughs, I was really able to lay down mirrors. I got over 120f! Now that's an edible hot pocket.

I feel like if more of the enemies were dripfed spawned instead of all at once it might be more approachable for players. I also think the mirrors could be a little more forgiving considering you're lucky at the moment to catch a heatray, nevermind be smart about directing it.

I really like this idea, but didn't undertand the controls immediately

Developer

fair enough, they are a little messy

Submitted

Such a cool idea! I did find the controls a bit unruly, and the mirror and player character a little hard to see among everything. But overall a really neat concept!

The mirrors did not work when I played.

Developer

Thats weird, what exactly caused them to not work? Everyone I have had played has had them work fine.

Could it be that I was playing on browser? Lasers would just pass through them completely, so the game was unplayable for me.

i have only tested in browser
