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.
Great game and awesome design! :)
The game is really polished! The visuals look really neat.
The difficulty can get a little bit frustrating. There's an element of randomness in finding the correct spot for each app, and losing instantly when caught mean that the best way to play is to be extremely slow and cautious, which is not super fun. Maybe the game could be less punitive, or provide more dynamic ways to evade the cursor.
That being said, I loved that each app has its different effect. It's fun to discover, and add a nice evolution to the game. I had a good time finishing it (and the end was really satisfying!). Great job!
Thanks for your feedback ! Yeah agreed, i've improve the ux and fix the wrong cursors speed (which was supposed to be just for testing), But too late to reupload a build :(
Creative, polished and cute, good job <3
Cool game! It's fun and different. I like the take on the theme.
It's a little difficult, and I'm not sure what the win state is after getting all the apps slotted.
However, it's a great level of polish for a game jam, and a fun idea!
I really like the art style and calm color scheme. It is a bit challenging but a unique idea.
Pretty tricky gameplay but the aesthetics are very pretty, love the UI design :) creative concept too!
Love the graphics! It's interesting that different apps have different effects on the cursor when dropped in the spot.
That was really hard for me lol. But it was really fun too!
It's too damn hard ! I still manage to finish it, but it was hard ! Also, the trash can was a bit contre intuitive, but we can understand it after a little time. It's mostly the enigme of "where we should put them ?" which seem too random. But in the end, I would lie if I say I didn't enjoy seeking the right combinaison. In the end, when I find all the place too go, and know all the effect, the game shift a little bit, and it was interresting to try to overcome the game. So : congrats ! You make a cool game !
(also , the visual and presentation are top, very well done!)
The visual aesthetics on this one are beautiful!
P.S. I'm a product designer, and this game reminded me of all the reasons why
Good visuals and well polished. The mechanic was interesting and it would be cool to see it expanded upon more with a few extra levels. But great work in the short jam timespan!
GREAT! I just wish there were more levels. It'd be a great gameplay loop.
Tense and fun, felt like a stealth game. A bit short and buggy though.
Great game!
This game looks gorgeous, like damn so beautiful.
Small reccomendation from someone who doesn't know what they are doing: maybe you could look the itch gaem page look as good as well?
Very cool idea and fun to play!
Oh thank you 💙 Glad that you enjoyed it !
