A very polished shooting game with a clear goal. Nice sound effects

I enjoyed the narrative and the satire of this game. It's a highly original idea and I love how it was implemented. The only minor criticisms are: the font is way too small on the missions unless you are in full screen mode (the newspaper font is fine tho) and also, it took me quite awhile to get the agent onto the mission, it can be a bit tricky the first time, once you get the hang of it it's OK. However, that did not take away from the game, I definitely enjoyed playing it. The art fitted the game really well. There was a ton of content plot and narrative-wise, I don't know how the devs managed to squash everything into 4 days, impressive work.

Extremely original, wonderful game. I was a little lost at the start, but after clicking around I found stuff. I think that's part of the game tho - being at a desk and figuring out what we're supposed to be doing. The lack of instructions is a feature not a bug, but maybe if the user hasn't managed to open anything after awhile, those items should be highlighted as a hint, otherwise some ppl might just walk away. 

I wasn't very good at filling out my forms, they kept being rejected, but I still had a lot of fun in this game! Art style is amazing - fits the game perfectly. Music is good too. This is a very creative game that held my interest well

Lovely game, it was fun to play, I thought the difficulty level was pitched well, not too easy or too hard. 

Cute game with polished UI. I love the narrative and that there are different endings! The first ending I got was Party, the second was Cat. The game was not too short or too long, just right

This is AWESOME!!! I love how the audio volume was handled during the game to add to the excitement. And the fact that you're actually playtesting the game you designed in the game is totally amazing. This game kept me entertained the whole time during the countdown

Hilarious, I loved it! Lots of funny little details. The only thing that could have been done better was the font on the messages and tweets was too small to read easily. It was great to play a light-hearted, fun game where a good amount of thought had been put into it

We played this in 2-player mode, it's awesome! Definitely plenty of fun. The graphics and movement look good. One of us accidentally bumped into the other character, and there was a really cool knock-back effect, nicely done! 

I liked the mirage, it keeps things suspenseful, and also I thought that running out of water was a nicely original way of doing the countdown theme

Awesome puzzle game! On level 4 which is the first one with two-digit numbers, it took me awhile to realize that I had to click on each left or right digit for it to change. I enjoyed playing and it was a neat concept, very creative and original

Wow! This is a fun narrative puzzle. There's something for everyone here - plenty to strategize and think about, but not boring and has plenty of humor. A really good game, lots of levels

It's a cute game. I love the menu and the UI in particular

A fun puzzle game, I love the narrative and the writing. The puzzle aspect was pitched just right. I produced some sludge a few times but I liked that it still let me continue on. The art is super cute and I love the style!

Neat concept! It was fun to play, as well. I got a score of 223. The music was fun too.

What an intriguing and original concept, neat idea. I didn't have great success at this game (I'm obviously not a good babysitter lol!) The art was nice, although I was initially confused by the side-view character in an otherwise top-down game, but once I realized I wasn't in a side scroller it made sense. Nice work, and looks like there is quite a bit of content in it . I didn't even get to the monsters and there was  a lot for me to do and interact with even without getting to that, your team clearly managed to accomplish a lot in the short time frame.

Count Dracula and Area 51?! I was definitely intrigued and I'm glad I played this. This is a neat puzzle game, I love the different levels and the level picker. The game and puzzles were well thought out. The level picker was especially helpful so that I didn't have to go all the way back to the start when I lost. The music was fun and it fit the game well. I love what you did!

A fun game, cool sound effects! I'm not very good at it, I had several goes and didn't even make it to the first nest before the timer ran out, but I like the fun and upbeat feel of the game

I love this awesome puzzle game! It has a cool plot and I like how each time I go through it I learn more before time resets. Even on the easy difficulty level, it has a lot of challenges, I still haven't managed to get to the end. I like that it starts off with simple controls and then more are added as you go. The voice acting is AMAZING! And the art too. Very enjoyable in all aspects, and excellent UX

Oooh this is such a neat concept! I loved going around the home doing all the fun stuff and trying to squish it into the weekend. The art is cool and unique, gameplay is fun, I can see myself wanting to try different tactics each time to get my score up. I thought my score was good at 3k until I read some of the comments below with much higher scores lol! Sounds like I'm in need of some weekend maxxing! It was cool to see the countdown theme combined with a life sim game

Wow, super awesome and original concept, loved playing it! I found the difficulty level pitched a little too hard, especially when getting started, and even after having a few tries. I would love if the timer slowed down a bit, I really wanted to get the time to enjoy what was being said and to read the mysterious notes but I couldn't do all of it and keep up with the timers and numbers. That said, countdown is the theme of the jam! The artwork and the voice acting are impeccable

Awesome concept! I had fun with figuring out where to go and what to do. I love that the game controls are uncomplicated and easy to learn, yet the game itself is challenging with plenty of stuff going on. The time resetting made it a really cool concept

Super fun! So original and hilarious, yet still plenty of game play to think about quickly. I loved the voice acting. And the art work was amazing. This game has everything!

This was a lot of fun! I loved the suspense of going around corners and not knowing what I might find. The first time I lost by running out of time. The second time I played I won with only 18 seconds left on the countdown! I liked that each level was distinct with the walls and floor. Having wall heights be different in different places was a good effect, it gave a sense of ancient ruins to explore

Wow those are awesome ideas! I talked with my teammate and we both agree that if we extend the game further sometime in the future after the jam, we would definitely implement both of your ideas. Thank you for taking the time to play

Fun game, controls are clear and uncomplicated. I wasn't able to win, but I had a lot of fun! I love the concept, artwork, and audio. They all come together really well in this game where we race against the clock

This is a very polished and fun game to play. I liked the originality of having the land move under me so I don't have to wander all over the screen. The music and fonts fitted the game really well, a lot of attention had been paid to making a cohesive game. I also liked that there was a scoring system even when I lost because each time it told me how many turns I lasted and what I died of. So it was one of those games that's so fun to play that even when you lose you want to have just one... more... go at this game!

Cool observation - during development we originally had the flooding washing away the poison as well as the traps, but that made it too hard to get game balance! So we changed that part during balancing. I agree that conceptually in real-world logic it makes more sense if the poison was washed away tho

Fun game, quickly becomes addictive. The card designs are nice and clear which is good because you don't have much time to make a decision what to play! This is a well-executed real time card combat game. It's also good that the enemies get a bit more challenging each time. I got to the 3rd level/victory and had a ton of fun in doing so!

Wonderfully original concept. Nice UI. I particularly liked the audio, including the crowd background effects. It was a little unclear to me if the game has an ending or if I just didn't play it long enough or earn enough money to get to an ending? Anyway, it was nicely done and I love the suspense of finding out about each item as it was auctioned

This game has a lot of charm. The ability to change time to get around is a wonderful twist on this puzzle game that has a narrative to it. I loved that there was a bittersweet emotion about the concept of one character trying to meet the other character and how there were so many challenges along the way. 

A lot of care was taken with level design here, it has resulted in a wonderful game that has everything - adventure, plot, and puzzle.

I had so much fun playing this game! I love the concept, and how the images give clues too. The music was amazing and adds to the energized feeling of having to have the headlines make sense before the countdown ends.  I also liked the option to skip forward using the send button

I love this puzzle game! The difficulty level is pitched just right - not too easy and not too hard. I like how the levels get harder as you go along. I made it to level 5 so far. An awesome concept and beautifully executed

Thx for taking the time to play it!

Thx!

I have now implemented the scoring system and uploaded the new version. If you win, you get a score. Sorry it took me while to get to this! 

Thank you for your idea

That's a great idea! Will definitely implement. I have a lot of other stuff going on right now that I have to deal with. So there could be a bit of a delay before I can get to it, but I will post back here again when I've done it. I will add a level multiplier, so that the score for someone who played on difficulty level 4 will be higher than for someone on difficulty level 1
