Really cool concept, though the tasks may require some explanation.
All in all, great game!

Hi!

Cool game!

Game is very challenging. At first time it is difficult to understand how to play. Maybe there should be more visual feedback when you enter codes and such.

Overall great simple game with very humorous metaphor.

Good luck!

Cool game, had fun playing it. MY only issue was the sometimes I had trouble interacting with the computer and entering the task screen. Maybe the way I was standing or looking? I would go as close as I could.

@alextagtal Thanks for feedback! The collision is still quite buggy sometimes - definitely on our plans to fix it! Thanks once again

Game is cool, but not very responsive, sometimes i don't understand if my clicks did something or not. Anyway, nice entry!

Pretty cool! I can see the Among us inspiration.

@panagiotis-iatrou Thanks! It is definitely inspired by Among Us in terms of minitasks that we implemented :D

Pretty epic game you've got. I like the tasks. I agree with previous commentors, the tasks need a little explanation. But otherwise, epic.

I would love to see a version of this game with more content, like more tasks or different level layouts.

709 on my first try! Nice work, everything functioned perfectly well. I liked the little rain ambiance :D

I like the fast based gameplay, like playing among us by yourself, but just as stressful because of the contant timers!
nic work

I confess that I didn't read the help. Then I got lost in the gameplay (of course)
But then I understood. Is time limited?
I loved the sound of rain, very pleasant.

Cool game. It gets hard pretty fast but that's ok, otherwise it could get boring.

For the explanations, write them on the images with the program you're using, instead of handwriting. My eyesight isn't that bad but still had a bit of a problem reading the text. People don't like readling instructions, no matter how long or short they are, so making them easy to understand is a higher priority than making them look good.

@fenderbate Each task has a little hint in each task, an system error message at the bottom of the task - short red text. Either way I complete agree with you, we were thinking a lot about making tasks easy to understand. We definitely can improve even more. Thanks for your feedback.

I really liked your game, I believe that there is too much information at the beginning that the player will often not get to read everything and remember, so the game becomes more difficult, but I liked to play he won a follower in itch, congratulations again!

The spin on the South Park disclaimer screen at the start was brilliant.

Looking at other comments, I just thought I will mention that I had no troubles understanding the tasks. Explanation at the beginning seemed perfectly clear to me. It's very fast and I wasn't very good at it but I had my fun with it anyway :)

I loved how exacerbated the poor developer looked. Anyway - a nice interpretation of the theme and a good jam job!

The idea is very innovative the game is addictive. It is a bit hard but I don see that as the bad thing. :lifter:

The graphics and especially audio could be a bit better, that would improve overall mode of the game. :sound:

Good job keeping the scope small, but delivering it with polish! A lot of nice little touches, hand-drawn graphics with tutorial screens, sounds, minigames, a very complete experience, congrats! 156 points were my best.
