The game feels quite polished overall. The visuals were really nice, and I loved the SFX. Each mini-game was pretty fun. System 1 does feel a little hard tho. Other than that, really cool game!

How does the game fit the theme?

But now, the entire system is falling apart, and you're the only one left to stop it.

Probably my most play game in this jam. Everything is well put together, and fits within itself thematically. I'm just trying to get that high score...
Massive fan of this, it looks and sounds awesome and the puzzles are really nicely done.
The "Match The Signal" puzzle can be a little frustrating though, as it's easy for the player to create a signal that's very similar but actually wrong - I had a similar issue when trying to implement this in a previous game jam (see Signals).
Definitely looking forward to what you create next!
Cool visual style with neat minigames. Definitely could use a balance rework for some of them. I think the pacing of the game could be improved overall, as a lot of it is actually waiting for stuff to break. The difficulty spike is insane though, and if you roll System 1 late game, its over for you lol
Wow you really played to your audience here and IM HERE FOR IT. Visual effects were awesome and gameplay was really polished. Great job!
really loved this it was like i was a hacker in operation tango making sure all the systems were in check the visuals are made super well , it immerses you into the game with simple ui but the sounds alongside package it together perfectly . i keep feeling that something like a horror element is about to happen with there being no soundtrack , 10/10 game i gave this full ratings goodluck with the jam , i think i will be seeing you showcased in the game jam vid <3
My favorite of the minigame-collection-types so far. Really good theming, a diverse spread of minigames, and a clean look. I had difficulties with System 1 like everyone else, and it felt bad that System 6 almost always took so long as to make damage inevitable. Still quite enjoyable, and I'd love to see this worked on post-jam.
This game is really well done, I love the intro cinematic and the general vibe of the game, very consistent theming.
Really good stuff!!
Very fun game! The minigames were very enjoyable, my only criticism is that the sine wave minigame was far too difficult compared to the rest. The corrupted looking UI looks great, you really nailed the art for this game. Good game!
The UI design is really great, mini-games are a lot of fun, and I like how the slow ramping difficulity curve. Couldn't beat any of the high scores, but I will resume my attempts. The sine wave always gets me.
Really cool game! The aesthetic is very unique, I especially love the chosen SFX. I think you could maybe add a very subtle and chill music like in Balatro to give an even more special mood for the game. Very well done!
Such a fun and intense game! The pressure really ramps up as you try to fix all the subsystems. The puzzles are engaging, and it feels so satisfying when you manage to keep everything running. I love the increasing difficulty and the sense of urgency. Definitely a thrilling experience – great job!
super cool, im still not sure if i was supposed to click all the yellow text but it worked!
Made it on the Leaderboard! Just shy of third place tho :(
Really fun stuff! Always love to see a game with a leaderboard. The gameplay was nice and simple and the sounds and art were really on point and polished. I also tried playing on my phone which 100% worked! although my screen is a bit small so it was tough to hit all the little buttons and such, but if someone played on a tablet or something with a bigger touch screen, they could definitely get some crazy score.
I think the game could use some slight balancing, like making the sine wave one a little more lenient with when it counts the player's input, and the sanitation one as well was quite tough, but I very much enjoyed those two in particular for the challenge, they just need a bit of tweaking to make it feel a bit more fair to the player.
I really enjoyed this! Both on mobile and on my computer, you can take this project in whatever direction you want if you decide to keep working on it. Great stuff!
Im really glad you enjoyed, game ballance was something i wish i had more time and lots of other people to help me test and get cleaner as i know a lot of changes id want to make to make it scale better and fairer, i know its not the best right now in terms of balance, im just glad its playable. im honestly suprised it worked on mobile as i didnt even test or try to make it work but as its just a clicker game i guess i got lucky haha.
Very funny game and I loved the idea! A very good entry, good job!
Fun game, where you can get overwhelmed by all the different systems breaking at the same moment haha!
