Ranked from 16 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
To me, the theme evoked a sense of panic and urgency, where something's going wrong in an important situation, but you absolutely cannot let it happen and must hang on for dear life!
This made me think of Overcooked, so I went for that kind of panicky multitask gameplay

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

 Pretty fun and chaotic, I'll always cheer for vocaloid representation.

It was very fun playing :) altough I did not first understand what the controls for the sine wave puzzles were which would be nice if it was in the tutorial.

Fun game!  It's very hectic but I think that's what you were going for.  

I might have slowed down the tutorial a bit, though.  A lot of mechanics come at you very fast and it was a little bit confusing, but once I started a real run I understood the assignment, so I guess it did its job.
4/5 :)

Thank you very much! Your input is appreciated, it would probably be better for the player to advance the tutorial with an input when they're ready rather than have it progress automatically, wouldn't it? That's something I can implement for the next version!

Favorite game of the jam so far, totally not skewed by the fact that teto's in it.. well maybe a liiittle.

Seriously though very fun and silly! It's a cute arcade-type game, my only real critique is that I think it could use a bit of balancing but maybe that's just cause I'm trash at it lol.

Thank you very much! I'm not that happy with the difficulty curve either myself, people seem to have a tougher time than I intended, I'll work on that for a potential next update

Really enjoyed this game! The audio and music were very funny (especially love the "oochie" when getting hurt and the distorted singing when a wire is failing)! The gameplay also ramps up at a nice pace. Overall, very fun game, great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! We went for a similar kind of gameplay, didn't we? Do know that I enjoyed yours just as much!

Submitted(+1)

Oh yeah, we did (no wonder I enjoyed it so much, lol)! Thanks for trying mine out, I'm glad you liked it too!

It’s embarassing how I got Kasane Teto jumpscared for having the volume high..

Anyways great game!

Developer(+1)

TETO MY BELOVED

Really liked this game. It's quite challenging but it's not that bad once you get the hang of it

Submitted(+1)

Pretty challenging but also fun. I like the art style.

The music was a bit jarring when first starting the game. Also it was a bit confusing in parts what was really going on. Like I could see what you were going for but I found it difficult to get into it. Like it wasn't clear to me what I do with second and third batteries? Anyway, I'm glad you managed to submit!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your input! A lack of clarity's been a common theme in all my playtesting so I'm not surprised to see some remnants. If I update the game, a better tutorial is high on my priority list! Along with volume controls indeed haha
