In what way does your game fit the theme?
We took the "Let there be" as an opportunity to parody the common idiom "Let there be light." Additionally, the frenetic gameplay and wacky creations both reinforce the sense of chaos.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Only a few sound bytes from freesound. Everything else was homemade!

I really loved the creativity of this game, I didn't expect it, the writing was awesome, I loved the idea, and really interesting jam entry, congraaats!
Top quality writing. Aside from the tutorial issue, I don't have anything to complain about. Sound and art were good as well, very consistent.
The idea was soo unique!
I loved the concept and the art!
The implementation was successful seeing ur idea!
5/5
That is one of the most creative games I've seen for this jam! Me loving to code, fulfilling out orders but needing to use a terminal is ingenious! No idea why I had a bit of a hard time understanding the 1st and 2nd letter mechanic and some elements were named differently in the manual, but it is quite fun to play! Never got passed level 1 tho, so either the game is hard AF or I simply suck xD
Awesome game overall!
Hey. Mike!!! I went back and watched the vod of you playing. You were what clued me in that our tutorial needed some work…lol.
Thanks so much for the play, compliments, and the feedback!! I hit your game back already and forgot to post here :) it was *certainly* chaotic. i killed so many of myself trying to break those damned boxes. truly tragic 😭
Super cool game and super creative idea! I think that the overall game design is great, and the use of a console is awesome to see. Its defiantly challenging, but I'm sure that once you learn all of the body part's codes, you should breeze right through. I seemed to have the same problem as a lot of people, were I didn't realize that you had to enter 2 letters for the body parts, but it was all good when I figured it out.
Apart from that, I think that your game was a blast. Its super creative, and rather funny. Though the art is a bit rough around the edges. Nether the less, you have made a great game, so Congrats! :)
Thank you!!! I just got around to yours. I've been binging mindustry with my friends, which was a factory game that originated in a game jam :D it was a treat to play your game! Thanks for the game and the play :D
Just hit up your game!!! It's super fun. Being a CT has never been so...explosive. lol.
Thanks for the game and the play! :D
Really liked the parody intro, I fell into the same trap others did now I've read below, I didn't realise there were 2 codes for the arms. Think if you sort that out after the jam it'll be a much better tutorial process!
Hey, hookmanuk! I played and rated you yesterday and forgot to post here -- I love your game!!! It was really fun struggling with the right amounts of exponential growth for all the colors to maximize reds. I was also impressed by the high score server implementation -- that's something I've been wanting to try myself. Can I ask what server framework you used? I was looking into node.js, but I didn't know what solutions other developers were using.
Thanks for the game and the play!!
sure, I wrote a little devlog on it at the time! Playfab seems really good, you can have multiple leaderboards and register players details etc.

Ooh thanks for the link to the devlog! I'll take a look.
It's an original idea but I struggled to understand what to enter for the arms and legs. I ended up figuring it out but I think it's sits in between two games. In one you should put the symbols to enter on the order directly and make it fast paced. Or, you could make it way more tricky to understand what to type with no timer but only a few tries. That's my thoughts on your game ^^ I enjoyed the art also ^^ especially the body parts x)
Thank you so much for the feedback!
I think if I were to make this a full game, there would be earlier levels with a longer time limit that allows the player to learn the codes from the confusing manual. Then later levels that are a dexterity speed typing/memorization test.
Thanks again :D
Good job!
Your game is a very fun play :) Thanks for the game and the play!
