Funny enough, I had a similar idea for the jam myself—tasks for the CPU and GPU, temperature management, etc. I didn’t manage to finish it in time, but it’s great to see that you did, and that it turned into a fun little game.
At least my idea wasn’t that bad after all 😄 — but your implementation was much better since it’s finished and actually enjoyable to play.
It might be a bit complex for newcomers at first, so a small guide or a few mini tutorials could really help players get into it. Some mini stacks to execute.
Visually well done, with a nice retro look, and the 8-bit soundtrack fit perfectly.
Occasionally when starting the game, I couldn’t load a puzzle, but after a restart it worked again. A minor issue.
Cool concept and well executed.
A solid foundation for an even more expanded version in the future!
