This concept can be easily expanded to turn into its own thing. I love it!
This is the kind of beautiful polished gem that could only come out of a game jam. I love how it zooms out as you solve puzzles, and there's a couple different ones available at each zoom level. I'm also a fan of how it starts of frantic, but eventually you've slowed things down enough that you have time to figure stuff out. And a hand-drawn art style to boot. Super cool.
I really like how you took this and could definitely see this becoming a full-fledged game with multiple scenarios and lots of rng. Wouldn't call it completely original as it is very similar to Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, but the time dilation of a single second manages to keep it fresh with similar but intensified stakes and delivers a nice take on the theme too.
Design[4/5] Missing the "only one" mechanic a bit in gameplay. It's mostly clicking buttons in time.
Theme[4/5] You do really feel like you're the ONLY ONE able to safe the earth! However like I said it is not really part of the game mechanic here.
Originality[5/5] Fun take on the 'only one earth'-like games.
hahaha, thanks for making this game, had a lot of fun playing it. If you have time please add more levels later.
Really cool and frenetic gameplay! But volume settings are much needed because the music is very loud.
This game caused a scene at the office as we all tried to solve it together!
I almost quit but we made it at the end (I especially like the note at the right with the zigzag instructions).
Just amazing wow!

Hey, we made a GMTK game too. Check it out!
OMG, I loved so much this game. The "boop" when the earth destroyed was very funny. Pushing button as fast as possible was very satisfying. Great job!
