Some great art! The multi tasking was pretty stressful, but eventually it seemed to get stuck in a loop of the same day with just one person, not sure if a bug or a ran out of time thing. I love the use of the theme though, could be interesting to monitor power usage as well to not waste electricity.

Really cool and unusual take on the theme! I really liked the having to multi-task and the timer. The graphics fit well with the game, too. The only thing I have for feedback is that sometimes in the earlier level, there was a lot of time between tasks with nothing for you to do. Really really fun and clever!

Very good idea !

This is a very ambitious game to make in only two days !
The gameplay is quite intricate, you have to think about multiple things at the same time, and you can prepare some strategies.
I classified the machines by order of fonction so it was easier to find them. ^^

You even took the time to build a real feel to the plug/unplug actions ! Maybe sometimes the hitboxes could be less punitive, but overall I am amazed !

Congratulations !

I love the approach and the art aesthetic , I think my only issue was that it gets a bit overwhelming at times (which was probably the point)  and that it was hard to decipher which time I should plug which thing in,

really good idea, i take a time to realize the times on the phone, about: i was thinking it was to put at the 1:00 than put by 1:00, so i waited and asking myself why i was losing XD

This was really unique. I loved the fact that each plug provoked its own sound. It was like a challenging puzzle trying to handle all of those plugs and times.

A clever game, ready for a store!

Loved the art style!

Very fun and original idea, and nice realization. Having several people to satisfy quickly puts a lot of pressure on the player, I wonder if it could have been better to make the transition smoother by having each person require a reduced amount of tasks for a day or two when you increase the amount of people.

Nobody really talked about this but regarding the theme it is cool that you took the forgotten, usual household simple plug as main character of your game.

Really loved the approach on the theme.
And the cherry on the cake is when my phone in the game runt out of battery. I was like Oh they thought about this too :D

Great job on the explosion effect and the art style overall!

It's a great idea, and really fun to play! It would be great if there was a tutorial, as well as have the icons larger. along with that, I wasn't really sure what the explosion did? Still a great game.

Thanks for your feedback! We totally agree with the points you raised, unfortunately there are only so many hours in two days and most of the team were first-timers.

To clarify about the explosion: we initially wanted several "surprise plug" types that would do different (fun) things and affect the state of characters. We only had the time to implement one but we really liked the explosion effect, so we still went with it :)

Yeah, this game is still insanely good! there's so much interesting stuff there, and I had a lot of fun with what you put in.

weird game, i didn't get the point. It also was too hard.

Submitted(+1)

Icons too small :p Also isn’t technology supposed to make our lives LESS stressful? XD

Submitted(+1)

Very cool aesthetic! However, the task icons are so small it's really hard to see which tasks are which, cool idea tho.
