Perfect match with the theme! Kinda enjoyed it and kinda not (deadlines o_o).

Though PC version (win_64) seems bugged. At first, I couldn't even open the game. Only on the third attempt, I was able to play. But after in the game, I couldn't escape the math!!! (No browser tabs on top) I've got terrifying flashbacks cause of that 0_o.

But I successfully launched the HTML5 version. Anyway like it! Give the game the thumbs up!

Holy crap this is incredible...I saw this a few days ago but completely forgot about playing this especially since I was busy. Now though...

Incredible idea. Deadline-fighting is actually really relevant to chaos. Also, the google chrome and classroom idea is amazing as well. The game itself is also pretty challenging sometimes, and yes, I know it's just copying and stuff, but the instructions and memorisation combined with only having a minute makes me panic like hell. Maybe some people don't like having to do actual math problems, but personally it just makes it more realistic (Although I don't think teachers would only assign you one question in real life, but whatever)

I will say a few things. First, the settings menu (Or volume sliders) don't seem to work at all, maybe that isn't in yet. Also, some visuals could be improved and maybe higher quality, since it kinda seems a bit blurry. Maybe you have to adjust the texture settings and stuff. Also, more music and sound effects would be better, and also maybe more functionality for the browser would be cool, although obviously you didn't have the time to do it. Also, a major problem (not really towards the game) is that the windows version seems to be cut off slightly (As in I can't see the tabs and as a result the game doesn't play properly). Luckily you added a webGL version (although to be perfectly honest, that might be against the rules...).

Still. Great job, genuinely. I would actually really love to see this game expanded upon. I really want a game like this where you panic with homework. Keep up the work! Also, sorry for the long comment xD

I love the visuals, really looks and feels like a browser. This game really fits the theme as well! The gameplay could be a little bit more fun. Instead of doing actual math problems or copying a sentence for real, I think a minigame or something would have been better. Overall great job!!!

Sucks that the download is messed up. I almost gave up but saw the post below mine and tried the web version.

This was really cool but also felt like, why are you taking me to school and making me an irresponsible student lol. Felt more like work. It was a little annoying that the assignment tab would close after going to the periodic table or the animal table. Maybe that was part of the chaotic nature. 

Developer

Hahaha! Sorry for bringing up some stressful memories. I'm glad you still got to try the game. Thank you!

I initially tried the download version but it seems like part of the screen is cut off. I then noticed there was a HTML version so I tried that and was able to play. 

This game reminded me of how happy I am that I no longer go to school. This was chaotic for sure. 

Developer(+1)

Sorry about that problem in the download version (beginner mistake). Actually, school is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of something chaotic. I'm glad you got to try the game and thank you for your feedback!

Submitted

Ahahahahaha this game is definitely so chaotic! Must because this game is remind me of real life I guess? Anyways, great game and even greater concept! Looking forward to see more update on this game!


Also I would love to hear your thought and rating on my game if you interested, please give it a try!

Damn, the game is great. We had a really great time, and we played at maximum difficulty (because we are not English speaking people). It was fun (difficult). 5 out of 5

Developer

That's awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the game :D

I love the concept of it and the quirks of your presentation. Did get blocked by different issues on the downloaded version and the html version. but I like the idea, I would love for you to check out my entry.

Developer

Hello! I'm sorry for the issues with the downloaded version. I'll fix them post jam. I will check out your entry for sure :D

Developer

UPDATE:

Here's an HTML5 build of the game if you have  aspect ratio problems or you just wanna play it right away :D

Am I doing something wrong or is it resolution problem? None of classes have something in it and I can't return from them :C

Developer

I am very very sorry about that. The game was made with a 16:10 aspect ratio. I'll work on the aspect ratios after the jam.

Developer

If you would want to play the game, I have an html5 build in the comments :D

This game is WAY too good for a game jam, you did an amazing job on this one. The sound effects are really funny too and makes it feel like you are actually on google. History was a little bit too hard though since I didn't have enough time to write it all down.

Developer

Wow! Thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate the feedback from you :D
