Oh man this guy could NOT make up his mind! Had me switching channels left and right and spinning the heat dial like tracks in a DJ booth bruh. Loved the atmosphere, the sound design was really good too. Most of all I loved the aesthetics. overall a very fun game! that guy looked so cozy all snuggled up at the end too lol

I want cookiiies now 🍪! haha I like the creature, even it is not always clear to keep the sequence in mind at some point. Still, it is a fun game to play.

Don't Play At NightI would have been really good at this 20 years ago but now my brain can't hold the short term info anymore haha Very neat implementation of Simon Says. I found it hysterical at points, especially when the monster got upset after feeding them too many weiners. Presentation worked very well, felt cohesive and made the world feel established. I'd welcome some subtitles as well but maybe that would make it a little too easy. Fun game!

DOGSWho does this guy think he is, showing up on my couch and demanding wieners. Love the game, great polished experience. Definitely was hard to keep track after he wanted more than 4 things lol, maybe it's because I'm sick and my brain is running slow.

THE SCREENINGReally solid entry!
I feel like it really needed an ending for the win condition, but overall everything was really well put together!
A very interesting take on Simon says and while "IT Commands" is a creepy and good title, I think you missed the opportunity to call him Simon just for shits and gigs XD.
Really good effort here!

POV : PrologueHaha for sure a missed opportunity! Next update we might have it wear a "Simon" name tag just for fun lol
I agree about the ending, we did have to rush it by the end and for sure that is one of my greatest regrets, not having a proper ending. But we'll get back to cooking and making an update soon after the jam's done!
Thanks for playing and dropping by!
Love that little creature. Had trouble close to the end keeping everything straight in my head, thankfully the little guy was very lenient with me. Really enjoyed the horror elements juxtaposed against the comedy of the situation. Great work!

The FilterA cool concept for sure. Some things were a little difficult to hear and remembering the sequence after a while became very tricky but that more of a me issue I think.

THE FACE IN THE STATICA solid game! the sound of the alien was convincingly spooky, and the slow turn towards the player each time you messed up was a great touch. I also like the design on the guy, properly alien looking. But this game also had that crucial bit of levity that great horror games usually have, that the conceit is that you're feeding an alien a cookie and watching a sitcom together.
Was challenging towards the end too, trying to remember all that he wanted an the order he wanted it.
Thanks for all your efforts! They paid off :]

Red RoverI love how the monster says cookie. Cracked me up.
Quite a fun concept, although it’s sometimes unclear what the monster is saying. Would love for this to be a hypercasual game with highscore leaderboards etc. Very addictive

Press PlayThank you so much!
Yea, it's one of the things we'd like to change in future updates, maybe add some text with the command on the tv screen or something.
We could only work on the game during our free time over the week so we missed a lot of the to-do list for polish lol but we'll get there after a short break! Thanks for playing!
