Nice game. Your idea was good, though it felt as if you had too little control over where the mouse was. Also my mouse kept moving off of the game, not sure why. Good work.

Developer

Thanks for playing! The mouse moving off the game is an unfortunate bug in the WebGL version - it plays better in full-screen. Hopefully will be able to fix if I do a post jam update

Very good idea, but very annoying and kind of frustrating to play still 5/5 origionality and presentation, though

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah, I think in a post jam version could use some difficulty tuning for sure

Great presentation and graphics. Also, I only realized that quarantine needs to be purged after I finished the first run with 0 score.

It also feels like clicking in the hope random will get you closer to the dismiss buttons is easier than trying to find the exact spot by slowly moving the mouse :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, if I had more time I would explain the quarantine mechanic better in a tutorial or something.

Thanks for playing!

I loved the idea, very good work!

This is an all around really solid game! Excellently done.

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play the game :)

Really liked the hack effects, it felt like a focused and fleshed out version of some parts of hyponspace outlaw.

Developer

Thanks - those hack effects were a lot of work, glad somebody liked them lol :)

Submitted(+1)

That was excellent super fun and super well done!

Developer

Thanks for giving it a try! :)

You know it's great right? I really enjoy your game, it is a very good idea and you used it very well. You should try the Unexpected Jam! :) My game is kind in the same vibe. Good job keep creation games!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I'll check out the Unexpected Jam for sure :)

I checked out your game - I like how we both started with similar concepts and went in very different directions :) Keep up the good work!

Nice twist on the theme! Annoying and fun

Thanks for taking the time to play my entry, really appreciated!

This is like trying to reprogram your brain.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

This is a game that would make you rage but still keeps you in check with little effort, I love it!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, it's definitely causes a fair amount of rage :) Thanks for playing!

The mouse control mechanic should be so frustrating, but you've tuned it perfectly, so that you feel like you have just enough control to do something.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, and thanks for playing!

I think it's a very original idea. I feel a bit stressed playing but that's the idea of out control.

Good Job :D

(+1)

It's super fun and challenging. I like how the idea works well with the "out of control" theme.

This is very frustrating in a good way, i like it al lot

Developer

Thanks for playing!
