Super fun and polished! Very hard although.
It would be great if the icons were randomised and the icon slots too. Now the game is always the same which gets kinda boring or repetitive right after the first playthrough. Other than that the game is fun and the art is great!
Thanks four your feedback ! I added randomization after the game jam deadline :) will be updated once the vote period end.
Visually, this game is insanely neat, we really feel inside a Mac.
However I'm afraid that the gameplay could seems a bit repetitive. Maybe you could add some features which would add more complexity ?
It was fun and pleasant to play this game, nice job !
Enjoyable, clean, and simple. Could serve as a base idea to expand into many more mechanics. Great on its own.
Elegant short game. It was simple, but there was everything that it needed (and more, with the funny popups). Having menu as tutorial was also clever.
Really well polished! It was quite short, perhaps it could do with some more levels/variety. Other than that though, great entry!
The game has a really clean look, and the concept is very interesting. I also enjoyed finding the different effects of the apps and trying to strategize around them. I did feel the mouse cursors moved way too fast - it was extremely punishing and made them game less relaxing than I think it should have been. I also think the goal of the game isn’t well communicated, and it boils down mostly to trial and error. Overall, though, well done!
Wonderful game! Really well done and polished! I love the concept, all the effects and the presentation! Super nice!
Thank you all for your feedbacks ! Nice to see that you like it :) I just did a play session on all of your games! So much creativity! GG y'all ❤️
Interesting gameplay! I adore the artstyle, it's very pleasing!
This is 10/10 creativity for sure, I bet no one thought of such thing.
Finished the game and was greeted with a window “unexpected player”, I also find it very unexpected when people play through my entire games xD
Très très très propre, bravo pour une telle prod dans le cadre d'une game jam ! Et le concept est cool !
Holy crap the cursors coming towards me were terrifying. The game itself was great tho
Ahah Thanks!! To be honest, i forgot to reset the cursors speeds after my tests xD when i realized it was too late to fix ^^'
The concept is interesting, I like how each app has a different effect. I'm not too sure if it fits that much the theme though. The rest is fine, I definitely want to see more of it. Well done!
This game is so cool, love the UI, you did a great job
Great work, fun little concept!
Cool idea and fun to move the apps around and avoid the cursors, however the goal of the game was not very well explained
It's fun to play once you figure it out, and everything looks very nice, though from a concept standpoint it's kinda jarring on a meta level that you're trying to get rid of the cursors when the only input method for the game is your own computer's mouse/cursor. I think it would make a lot more sense if it was button controlled or something.
Very good looking game! I just wish the goal of the game was communicated better, I felt very confused and punished.
Pretty graphics and animations.
The gameplay is really punishing but managable. At first the goal of putting each app on a specific space was not really clear for me.
