Haha I really like the sound design. The music loop is short (and a bit choppy when it repeats), but is extremely catchy. Those water sounds are my favorite though.

Well well well what do we have here?
Gameplay is not bad and it's straight to the point!

Sadly I thought the potted plants on the desk was more like a mess of pasta so I thought the game was programmed badly at first. I thought there was like a drying mechanic too, but it's simple so no need! Just hope there were diagonal controls though!

The audio is what got me! I laughed so hard and I wasn't expecting to use your voice!
If this is your first in Ludum Dare, then well done~

Nice! The character movement could have used some fine-tuning - for example if you hold S, and then press D, and then release D, your character does not resume moving down (S-direction). I also got stuck on walls occasionally. Thanks for the submission!

Nice game. I did think it was short and too easy though.

Nice job! I liked your approach to the theme. Other comments have already mentioned the movement and the looping of the music. It was short and simple, but this game brought a smile to my face.
