Clicking on the percolator crashed my game. The error message said that it couldn't play a sound.
Nevermind, I redownloaded it and it worked.
Oh man I wasn't expecting that ending I love it.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you had fun!
I love your game! It was so much fun with a little clever story! I also like the cartoony artstyle! Thanks for making this game, Steven! :)
Btw, the Exit button is not working. :(
Oh, that's really weird, I thought I had fixed that in the post-jam update. I'll check it again!
Glad you enjoyed playing the game!
Loved everything - the art, story and puzzles are very nice. Took me a bit to spot that plug but other than that I didn’t get stuck anywhere. Very funny, especially the butter puzzle and that ending! Great game! :D
Thank you! So glad to hear you enjoyed it 😊
I really loved this game, the graphics staight away made me think of DOTT, the characters remind me of the wii's mii people. I got stuck trying to heat the coffee, but it was my own fault for not exploring everything. Very polished and a wonderfully forfilling ending. Well done for getting it done in 2 weeks.
Thank you very much, so glad you enjoyed it!
That was a fun game! Impressive that you have your own engine. I liked the wacky humour and the reason the intern (channeling Bernard for me) couldn't talk.
Bernard and DotT as a whole for its graphic style and humour were top of mind for me as I created this, so I'm quite happy that came across. Thanks for playing and so glad you enjoyed!
Nice little game with a fun atmosphere. I long for this altruistic future where humanity is free of their attachments. Or appendages…
Hehe, going with the detached limbs was not so much a stylistic choice as a practical one. It saved me a lot of time in animating the sprites 🤣
please please make a browser version!!!
Unfortunately, that's not feasible 😔 This game was created in a custom engine that I developed for Windows only.
very good
Thank you :)
This GameJam entry was very fun! The sequence of events that led into the ending were wacky and unexpected. The artwork for the *legally distinct* reactor core put a big smile on my face while playing.
Also I would want a huge grant of money to build a science lab called "The Lab"! I'm sure a number of genius inventions could be created there *laugh*
Glad you had fun playing 😊 And yes, the Lab people are always looking for that sweet, sweet grant money to fund their wacky intentions.
Got DOTT vibes immediately, will play this game first once I find a free windows machine to run it on…
Hope you get to play it
I like that it was unpredictable ;)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Fun, humorous, great puzzles and memorable interactions. Oh, and that ending...!
Thanks! And thanks so much for helping in testing!
