I feel like this takes me back to a time when I first started playing video games. Couldn't help but smile the whole time I was playing. Really loved this!

This felt like an old Atari game with some of the visuals and music. I loved how there was a pattern to solve using all the buttons. My favorite part would be the news articles about all the ways the player failed to save the kid drowning, kinda dark, but still funny!

Mechanically very simple but it captures the theme well and I had a blast trying each combination of buttons so I could read all the newspapers!

This was fun to play and figure out how to solve the puzzle. 

Having the 5 buttons needing to be pressed in order was a nice touch, really lent to the "WDTBD" theme, but that they were static kind of just made it an elimination game.

Love the presentation in this, the pixel art is great and the different failure scenarios were pretty funny! And I like the take on the theme, with the 5 buttons needing to be clicked in the correct order. It feels a little simple and there's not much interaction required from the player, but I think there's some charm in that. Awesome job!
