Very impressed with what your team was abble to achieve in such short time!

The puzzle was neat and well made. The beginning was a little stresfull but once I undestood the problem and the tools to solve the crisis everything went smoothly. Solved on the third try.

Great visuals that conveyed everything that was happening in the game.

Developer

thank you so much! we were hoping to throw the player into the deep end but still have a clear way of beginning to understand things as it loops over and over. congrats on a 3 loop solve!

Submitted

Nice puzzle with a race against time!

Thank you for adding a way to work around the problems. It turned a very stressful situation into a less stressful game of dandori.

Art, music, sound, VO, and game design all work together, amazing work! ¦3

Developer

Woohoo, so glad you enjoyed it! :3

Absolute banger, I had a hard time at start to figure out everything but at the third loop I was ready to die once again because of only myself. Great art, great sound design and very cool idea delivered splendidly.

Developer

Yay, so glad you enjoyed it and that the learning curve felt worth it in the end! <3

Really impressive how much you managed to get done in such a short amount of time. Your team must work well together to be able to create something so polished and cohesive.

I really loved the discovery aspect of this game, where looping allows you to restart and use what you learned in the previous loops to avoid making the same mistakes. And of course, as everyone else has said, the voice lines were amazing. Thanks for making this game!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for this thoughtful feedback! :) We definitely knew we were taking on an ambitious concept from the outset, but had a blast scurrying to get it done together. Lots of scope-cutting, bug bashing, and quick pivots! So glad it all resonated with you!! 

Developer

glad to hear our loop concept came through (and shoutouts to the friends who contributed their voices to this project) also, i definitely gotta give a lot of love to everyone on the team for their work on putting this together <3 thank you so much for playing!! 

Submitted

It was good, but it lagged a lot and kept on crashing.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Sorry to hear about the lags :(

What a beautiful game! I really love the world-building of this, and the artwork and audio tie everything together :) My only complaint is that I want to keep dying to hear more voice lines haha! Amazing work <333

Developer

Awww, thank you! So glad you enjoyed. And hey, maybe it's worth one playthrough of continual deaths? You never know what you might discover ;)

Incredibly polished piece that has a very unique narrative focus take on the jam, which is something sorely needed this time around. Amazing work, kudos to the team!

Developer

Thank you so much! <3 Thrilled you enjoyed!!

Amazing game and voice lines. I had to lock in after goofing the first 3 loops lol

Developer

Thank yooou! <3 Goofing is totally part of the gameplay, there are maaaaany death voice lines to discover!

Developer

3 loop win is a massive W B) thank you so much for playing our game!!

I adore the art style and animations, the characters almost seem like they’re skipping as they move and dancing at the computers lol

Kudos to your team, they are clearly very skilled!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! We had a lot of fun making the game, so I'm glad that came through in those subtler details! <3

This game looks and sounds really nice, unfortunately I can't say for the gameplay because it lags my browser way too much );

Very nice :) Rated!

Developer

Thanks for playing! ^^

This was extremely fun! I'm very impressed at just how well you communicate how everything fits together without any tutorial at all. Amazing job with the art as well! I love how they all have a distinct personality in how they walk and interact with the tasks.

Developer

So glad to hear this; we were definitely taking a risk not tutorializing at the start and I'm glad that paid off!! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

I really enjoyed playing it!!! The art is so cute and I liked the intensity of managing all four rooms at once!

Developer

Thanks so much, thrilled you enjoyed!

Loved the idea, visuals and gameplay are fun! Good Game!!

Developer

Woohoo, thanks so much!

Submitted

The visuals are great and it's a fun little experience. Beat it on my second try because I'm an epic gamer but yeah this was really good.

Developer(+1)

Heck yeah, that's awesome. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Artwork and animations seem unbelievable for a game jam ! Good music and sound (voice acting ! come on !). I was a bit stressed of the 2 minutes, figured the game out after a lot of stressful dying.

Great entry !

Developer

Thanks for playing!! <3

Submitted

That was a lot of fun to figure it out.

Developer

Yaaay, so glad you had fun with it!

Amazing artwork and execution overall! I like how each crew member has a unique role on the ship that corresponds to the puzzle.

Developer

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed!! ^^
