Interview at Incredible Inc by EvanEGibbs

[raw]
made by EvanEGibbs for LD34 (COMPO)
You got an interview at the renowned Incredible Incorporated! Make a good impression in your interview and get a job at one of the coolest places on earth!

This game uses the "Two Button Controls" theme, so the controls are rather simple! The "Y" key for yes, and the "N" key for no.

Thank you so much for playing, and let me know what you think! I love all feedback.

***Update***

There was one question where the answer to the question was incorrect (the coin flip question) which I fixed. I also fixed the small issue of getting two similar, but slightly different questions in the same interview (especially with two versions of each math question, one of them being right and one of them being wrong).

My website has the updated version, but I left my compo entry unchanged:

Aww, this is wonderful. I love the little details -- the clock ticking away in back, the different speech sound patterns of the interviewers. Fun game. The only thing I didn't like were the math questions! :)

Doesn't it take 365 days and four hours for the earth to revolve around the sun? Saying 365 isn't actually correct... That was the only scruple, everything else about the game was awesome.

I hope my zillion units a year salary converts well in to British pounds! Great game, despite brining back many uncomfortable interview memories from yesteryear. ;)

Lovely art and very cute. You don't notice that you are playing a 2 button controlled game :-)
Congrats!

Neat idea. The art style is very lovely.

What bothered me a litte bit, was that i sometimes got questions asking nearly the exact same thing (e.g. the math questions). So, those were pretty easy to solve.

Really liked how you upped the difficulty.

This is really cute. Adorable graphics and voices for the characters, timed system for the questions worked perfectly. All good stuff.

I repeatedly didn't get the job. Could maybe also have a bit of an easy mode option where you can skip back to the most recent interview you got to before?

Cool game. :)

Was really fun, but I'm bad at reading things quickly, so I didn't get past Nicol...
I didn't like that you have to start all the way at the beginning again...

got to the top, was offered a zillion, turned it down cause I'm a dragon, haha very fun game!

some of the questions really tripped me up with the wording, which while adding to the challenge, didn't feel annoying, the whole game kept a very cute & fun vibe, nice job :)

Yes. in fact
i play chess.

Ya gotta know (on paper!?) about 7 equations then you win.

52 cards per deck is 4 x 13 so nothin' near 54

And the prog likes to ask it twice

Great take on the theme. I didn't even make it past the first round. Good thing I don't use math in my job :P

Also (sorry for posting it here) sorry for not clear rules in Let's Play Simulator 2016 (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114). Hope this screenshot (http://take.ms/flHZu) will help you to understand how to detect good/bad games :)

I didn't get the job, Nicole don't think I'm good enough. But, it's fine, they will find someone better.
Funny little game, good job ! :)

Nice design! Love the text appearing sound (I don't know what it is reminding me of)! Although I don't really like the math tasks :O

Really good game!

Really liked the way you introduced the controls. But although you made the beginning skippable, I still had to rewatch the middle segments over and over again.

Since when is the chance to get 2 tails by flipping 2 coins not 25%, or have I misread something in the hurry?

@Klianc09
Thank you for your comment! That was actually an error in the code, the correct answer to the coin question is supposed to be yes instead of no. As far as I know it's the only incorrect one! I am going to do an update to fix it. Sorry about that! And thanks for playing and your comment. :)

Pretty fun. I wish you could also skip the cutscenes in the middle.

Finally got the chance to play this and it is great. As with your other games I loved the art, so much character with all the interviewee's. Colour choices and designs are well thought out.

Took me quite a few tries to get the job but was just fun to play and see all the different questions being asked.
