Woha, got me thinking and retracing steps. Good fun!
ayy we're glad to hear it!! thanks for playing :D <3!!
Took me a while to figure out the right steps but at the end I got it and I'm amazed at your work! Amazing art and a really nice stress infused puzzle!
“Stress infused” is such a great way to word it. So glad you enjoyed!!
I really like the art. The deaths are well made too (I got them a lot) :)
Thank you!! Narratively and gameplay wise, we wanted dying to feel kind of fun and rewarding in its own way. Thrilled that resonated!
You're welcome :)
Well done! Especially enjoyed the deaths, which was good cause I had to see them quite often (I was not very good heh). Big plus for the little lovely voice acting as well! :)
Thank ya kindly!! “Good” is so subjective in this game — I wrote about 16ish death lines for each character, so “good” could mean catching ‘em all! 😂
Looove the art on this. Two minutes feels like a good time limit to keep you from getting too stuck. Really neat concept :)
Woohoo, so glad you enjoyed! The loop length was def something we took some time thinking about. It was originally a bit longer, so I’m glad we landed on a time that felt more natural and rewarding!
Wow! very interesting take on the theme! I liked the UI design and the art style - specifically the little "wheel" thing at the top. Well done!
Thank you so much! Your appreciation for the wheel means a lot too - we were very excited about it and I specifically took about half a day to implement and perfect it :) glad it was worth it!
This was a fun challenge. It took a few loops to figure everything out, and then more to prioritize, but eventually got it.
Wow, thank you so much! That progression of loops was exactly what we were going for, glad it played out that way. Thanks for playing!
It's very fun and thrilling! The art is well-polished, and it's interesting to figure out the meanings of different symbols.
Thank you! Glad the symbols were interesting to figure out - they took a lot of time to pick and refine to be hopefully clear. Thanks for playing!
I was very surprised by this game. The puzzles were simple but very enjoyable it felt great to loop around the lab putting out fires and getting everyone in position. nothing negative to say about this, great job!
Thank you so much for playing! Your surprise is high praise!
It took me a second to figure out what to do, but once I got it, I was hooked. Great game, I enjoyed playing it!
Thank you so much for hopping over from my play of your game -- much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed!
Really impressive art! The puzzle design is simple but challenging . I was getting discouraged about the rooms killing me until I figured out the connection with the "emergency controls". Very clever! It was enjoyable, great job team!
Very glad you figured it out. When we were working on the puzzle design, we were very worried about people being discouraged by the challenge, but we had faith that people would have just enough patience to breakthrough and get to the "figured it out" point, and I'm glad you made it there. Thank you so much for playing.
This is a super cool puzzle loop! Great art and sound design. I wasn't able to crack it but I'll happily come back to it and try again.
Thanks for playing! Hope to see you come back to it. If you understand that it's a puzzle loop I have a feeling you're just about to crack it!
got it on my third loop! i really enjoyed the ordered problem solving, though it took me a little bit to figure out what things did. i adored the different character designs, and the main narrative device gave me great memories of one of my favorite old web games, no-one has to die!
Ooh ok interesting recommendation, I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks for playin!
Great job!
Thank you so much, and thanks for playing!
Really cool level design! It was very engaging. Great work!
Thank you so much for playing, much appreciated!
I liked this quite a bit. I think you nailed the difficulty for a jam too. I felt like I had just enough time each run to figure out how the game worked for myself and once I understood, I liked how quickly things became frantic. Also, the polish here is excellent. This is one the few games I've seen to use a custom loading screen, let along one that was animated. I don't have any criticisms, this was just great!
wow thank you so much for the glowing review QwQ <3!! we're super stoked to hear that we nailed the game in so many aspects haha!! really appreciate the kind words, and thank you so much for playing our game :D <3
Incredible! Very solid take on the theme, a bit tricky but still great! I would loved if some of the hazard icons were a bit easier to read but otherwise this is a great entry!
thank you so much!! we're taking notes and will be sure to update those icons on a future iteration :D thank you so much for playing our game <3!!
Very solid! Reminds me fondly of an old flash game about keeping a ship crew alive during a space fire with a very similar premise. Stellar execution.
Thanks for playing! Any idea what game that was? Would love to check it out!
I’ll try to find it!
Okay it took some digging, but the game is no-one has to die. by Stuart Madafiglio. It’s not on a spaceship like I thought, I misremembered that - but here’s a working link I found on NewGrounds! https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/615863
Thanks for the link! It looks like someone else had the same thought as you just an hour later haha! I'll be sure to take a look at this.
Wow! Great across the board! Really enjoyed learning how to played and beating the game. Wish it was somehow longer, though I'm not sure how you would go about doing that. 10/10!
yay glad to hear you had a good experience :D making the game longer is definitely something we're thinking about!! maybe expanding the loop time and adding more tasks? or maybe increasing the disaster scaling difficulty? lots to think about haha, but thank you so much for taking the time to play our game <3!!
Loved this one! The art, music, and mechanics all come together very nicely. It's super satisfying once you figure out how to survive.
thank you so much!! glad to hear everything felt cohesive and satisfying haha <3 thank you so much for playing :D!!
