Very nice! I love the cable physics- that must've been tricky to do in 3 days lol. I also love the sounds: the little clicks when you move around the wires and the AI 'speaking' noise. My only issue is that you can't really do alot yourself- so it's more RELY on AI rather than collaborate. Still doesn't take away from how polished and clever this game is- really, really good job!

It looks and feels great! The cable physics are fun to play with. The second level I couldn't make sense of... The AI's clues were a little difficult to get into - sometimes the AI seemed to want you to succeed and other times it seemed like it was trying to sabotage you... So I didn't feel like I could entirely trust what it said. Would still hang around just for the cable physics!

Blue Pipe SamuraiVery clean interface. I like the art style and really dig the cable physics. Nice job!

Abominable CactiI like the wobbliness of the cables :D The overall art fits good and maybe if you want to develop it further you could give the AI a "face" to have facial expressions that deliver more of the joker site of chopper and maybe colorize the cable selection in the dialogue. Very cool idea and I see where you come from :) Chopper is such a liar or is he not?

Love, Kitten & a cleaner BotCool idea, I really enjoyed it. It's very unlike other games I've played so kudos for that :)

My Friend RobyReally great game! Chopper even told me I wasn't bad at this(even after dying quite a few times) . The puzzles were nice and the concept was really good, maybe it could even get expanded further with some cool puzzles that dont just require you to test random things and get hints from an AI. Great job!

Behind The ScreenI found myself stuck on Level 5 as I couldn’t figure out a way to make it work without blowing up. Other than that, love the art and the humorous interactions with the AI: great work!

Big Brother"You are not bad at this, thanks for testing. -chopper42!"
I like the game, the visuals and the sound.
The Idea for the AI is good but in my opinion it could be a little bit more specific.
When it says e.g. at the second bomb (the two connected bombs)
"I don't see any downside about unplugging green cable and putting it on the breadboard" and then it says "try to change the blue cable with the green one" then I will of course put the blue cable in the breadboard even though I had to put it where the green cable was in the very beginning.
The "bomb" after that I just finished because of blind luck haha. (But I played again and I know now)
I the two bombs after that were good though, there I had to think a bit
All in all its still quite good though and I know Its hard/impossible to account for all the scenarios the players will find themselves in so you still did a decent job.

Waltuh's Cooking AdventureThanks for your amazing detailed feedback! You are so right about second level and AI dialogue issues. Thanks for completely playing my game, you are the first one, i think. I will try your game and write a highly detailed review like this too when I got free time. Thank you so much for playing!

Hard but fun game. Playing it give me the feel of when i used to play flash games that used a similar art style, good old days. :)

OverchargeI love the detail of the jiggling wires, its so simple but adds so much. The AI character is fun, too; not sure if he was supposed to be intentionally lying or just a nervous newbie wreck, but I like him. Its a nice bomb-defusing puzzle game overall with a great presentation!

Genesis/NemesisCool game! But I must be an idiot because I can't get past level 1!

Helping a ToasterMy biggest problem with this game is that there is too much text and also I have to press the scroll button????? Who does that? Also if you have a lot of text, you should make sure it's easy to read, your text is a little too small.
Other than that the gameplay is good, I am bad at the game, but I can recognize that it's good. You should just spent a little more time on the UI, that's it.
The game was very cool and polished, but I wasn't exactly clear what to do 100% of the time and would get stuck sometimes. other than that cool game!

Drone CratesIt's quite the interesting concept! It was quite good, though hard to figure out what you needed to do at times. As many others have said, it can become trial and error. It's likely due to both the lying AI and that we don't know what the wires do, so we don't have enough information to figure some things out on our own.
