This is such an original game. I got divorced sadlyl, I saved the plant and the plane landed safely. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Thank you
Saved the marriage, saved the power plant, crashed the plane for fun. I'm going down a hero, boys!
This is a cool and original game! I guess Candice will find love know 👀
Overall really great visual vibe, and lots of systems built into the UI, only complaint I can have is I think it could be more fun and compeling with its game loop. Overall a really great job!
Very original. Loved the way all the pieces fit toghether. I think I had a problem with wife messages as I could respond then on setting on the plane mode and back it did not prompt the message again. Happened only with the wife app.
Great looking and cool story!
that's some bug we never found, we'll look into it, thank you so much!
that was fun. really love the art and the gameplay. also smooth jazz fits the mood very well. that sleeping passenger is the devil, mind your businness. also, really dont know how to keep the wifey. very very fun game. great stuff!
I loved it! This was hilarious. Juggling everything was just tough enough, good balancing. I simply could not get the wife to not file for divorce though!
Very amusing premise! Really makes you FEEL like you’re a guy on the run. Partially reminds me of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. My first attempt felt pretty hectic but my later runs went a lot faster to the point where I was just waiting out the timer. Sounds like there might’ve been more to it? Regardless, I love the charm, great music, and I was pretty invested in where the narrative was going.
This game was stressful and anxiety-inducing at first, but once I got the hang of it, I replayed it a few times to get the different endings.
Was fun to play and hope you play my game too!
Oh but I did play it, I think I just forgot to post a comment.
Very fun and relatable premise! The idea of having to defuse multiple conflicts at once while you're preoccupied is something I unfortunately relate to pretty heavily, but making it into a game has a comedic flare that is incredibly unique. The ideas behind this game are really great, and the narrative is compelling enough that I kind of want to see it somehow expanded into a series of bumbles that the protagonist takes into being a terrible conflict navigator. Would be great as a visual novel, but I think the pressure of feeling like you have to sneak in hasty conflict management is just so strong, so I'd really want to keep that in somehow.
The team itself also sounds like a really fun group of professionals, and I'll probably be telling people the flight mode/airplane mode stories to people under various circumstances until I die. A shame that the big reveal couldn't be snuck in and as far as the player knows we are canonically a scoundrel that works at a nuclear facility. Definitely one of the most unique jams so far. >:3
Managed to save my marriage, the plane and the plant in the second attempt! Loved the overall story, and presentation. I felt that after all the messages have been read, it took too long for the plane to land. I forced the landing by getting my phone taken away. Other than that great job and great execution on the theme!
Really cool consept , it feels polished so good job!
Very nice game! Polished, well written.
Certainly not for people with weak hearts!
Great work!
A neat game about managing your attention. Felt very polished, from the music, to the art, and the design. That damn flight attendant would give me a heart attack each time. Well done!
Fun concept and good execution, also great to see someone else went with airplane mode!
Super fun game, played through it three times to see if i could at least save my marriage and the plant in one go. Really original and interesting concept and use of theme. Good job!
Great work! Loved the game, it had a lovely vibe to it. The music was great so I clicked on your musicians linktree and found the bandcamp. I don't know if your musician will look at these comments but I really enjoyed their stuff on bandcamp, particularly, Scattered pieces of a long lost dream, and, Waldeinsamkeit. Nice job!
I'll pass this on to him, don't worry.
Hey, I'm the musician/sound designer. Thanks a lot for your words! Really happy you enjoyed my ambient music too :) this was my first time trying to produce jazzy stuff, so it means a lot for me. I also tried your game Bobby Wants Soup and it was pretty funny!
I'm so glad you enjoyed Bobby Wants Soup! You did a great job producing jazzy stuff on the first go of it. The ambient stuff is killin man, I love making ambient as well so it's always great to listen to and meet other contemporary and current composers making ambient. You've built a great sound world in a lot of your material on band camp!
Very fun game and nicely polished! I really enjoy these types of chaotic/management games. Though I think the time between last message and plane landing is a bit long. Also might have encountered a bug?: the crash timer kept increasing and got caught even though the phone displayed airplane mode was turned on. This occurred right after an explosion event.
You managed to get all the known bugs! I wish there was a reward for that cause it means you got really good at it lmao
The plane is missing a skip to end mechanic/button to allow for a smoother final transition. The bug for the airplane mode is known and it fixes itself by turning it off and on again (it's so weird, we've been trying to realize why it happens).
Thank you for playing!!
I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but the dual narratives were engaging! The company behind the system is certainly shady, but the ride was fun as long as the story was going on. I had a good bit of ride left after finishing the messages, which felt like a good time for some easter eggs (maybe there were and I just missed them). Good job!
There's a few easter eggs littered in the game, some you have stumbled upon for sure and some you might have missed. There's also some stuff that goes on with the end of the ride but it wasn't supposed to be this noticeable, there's a bit of stuff that's missing.
Great presentation and a compelling narrative. I really enjoyed this one.
