  • Loved the artwork and minimalistic design.
  • This game was an interesting take on the themes and the gameplay is simple. The game is unforgivingly hard though and I wasn't successful at any point. To expand, maybe some amount of slowing the momentum could occur after a successive number of missed plugs.
  • The music was very relaxing. Which did clash a little with how unforgiving precise you had to be with the plugs.
  • Great logo and splash screen. Want to like it, but you have to be TOO precise! Really dimmed the fun, honestly. Feels like a neat idea though, and I could see some tweaks turning this into an intriguing score chaser!

Glad people enjoyed the concept.  A full version will be released in the future, mainly making the game easier, more enjoyable and less frustrating.

  • Nice music
  • One needs to be very acurate, I think it could be a bit more lose.
  • Or maybe it would be easier being closer to the socket?
  • Also it needs variation to keep up interest

Thanks Dom, yes these are all things I had myself noted that will be incorporated in the upcoming post jam version.

Gotta say, I love the little robot faces. The game as a whole reminds me of those "Key master" skill-tester machines (although nowhere near as rigged). If you were going to add more to it, perhaps some kind of rough center point / crosshair / "sweet spot indicator" down the bottom to help line up the shot? Either that, or my aim is just trash.

Best score so far was 1140. Not great, but eh. While I'm here, love the little splash screen! I gotta learn how to do that eventually...
