I really like the soundtrack and I also liked that you get multiple dialogue options on minor issue I had was that the spaceship felt a little too slippery but maybe that's just me other that I liked the game. Nice Work

Really cool take on the theme. Breaking up the main mechanics to go back and forth is a nice touch. Great work by the team!

Nice game, it reminds me of a mobile game called Data Wing

I liked how the game made me feel like i was able to be a deviant. I was a little disappointed the game didn't scold me for ignoring the calls for a few minutes, or that i purposefully crashed my ships into the rocks. it just kinda kept along and going. I know i could have likely failed if i stopped pressing boop but doing that would be the most boring way to die. So i played in my very wierd way until i burnt out it was funny

Developer(+2)

Haha, happy to hear you enjoyed playing the game your weird way :) we had plans to punish the player more for unanswered calls, failed objectives, and not booping, but ran out of time to add them in. Glad you still had some fun!

loving the concept, plus the little snatches of story + universe we get from this trainee at their desk :) graphics and audio look soooo wonderful!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed the details/environment :)

Very polished, I love the spaceship minigame on the other monitor. Great visuals and audio!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Very fun and interesting! The concept and game was fun.

Thanks so much for playing!

Nice game! Impressive that you made everything yourselves within the week! I liked the the fact that you could only accelerate the ship with your control's (though I crashed a poor spaceship finding out). A bit of humor too! Very nice!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for writing up the kind feedback! Really enjoyed playing your game too! I've made a Minesweeper game before and very impressed you did that, plus so many additional mechanics in a week. Thanks again for playing our game!

I really like the humor in this game (my favorite part is how the beep button just falls off when you press it), I didn't quite understand whether there was a fail state in this game, since even when i crashed all the ships and didn't press the boops it still let me continue, but nevertheless i still had fun! this has the potential to turn into a full-scale comedy-based multitasking game!

good job!

Developer(+1)

Hey, thank you for the review! Yeah, we had all sorts of plans for how to handle a fail state and got around to adding none of them. Just ran out of time. Glad you still had fun! Thanks for playing :)

Great game! very innovative idea to have the movement be on a separate "monitor", really great for immersion. Awesome writing and music, well done! who needs those beeps!

Developer(+3)

Boops are the backbone of our operation!

loved the game, the writing was super fun. The art and music where superb! keep it up

Developer(+2)

Awesome! Super glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the kind words!

Love the mood and the humor, i can imagine this game like a warioware with differents styles of fasts minigames between the "boop" sections.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the great feedback!  I agree, there was  potential with the mini games, and we initially had 4 different ones in mind, but ran out of time.  Oh well!

Great atmosphere! I felt good in my ship, thank you for the free coffee :D

Developer(+1)

Who doesn't love free coffee?!?  Ha!  Thanks for this feedback!  Glad you enjoyed it.

Love the user interface and loved the dialogues. And I agree with the others, I was actually looking forward to "what would happen next"

Developer(+1)

So glad you enjoyed it, perscode!  I'm glad with such a short game, we left you guessing at what comes next.  Thanks for playing!

An unusual game design that fits in perfectly ! The office interface is really a good idea, and I wish this game was longer.

Developer(+1)

Thanks, Doughet!  I'm also a fan of the office dynamic - I think it has a lot of potential for silly situations. :)  If we had more time, we would have loved to deepen the story line of the trainee a bit and add variety to the mini games.  So much to do, so little time.  Thank you for playing!

Only problem with this game is how short it is. Great potential in this.

Developer(+2)

Thanks for playing! And yeah, we had plans for more objective types and characters, but ran out of time.
