In the Lab by halemaster

[raw]
made by halemaster for LD33 (COMPO)
You are a scientist in a lab, building... something.
This game explores ideas about the building of weaponry and the ideas about when it is ok for us to do so and when it makes us the monsters ourselves.

"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." - Oppenheimer quoting Bhagavad Gita after the creation of the atomic bomb.

In terms of gameplay, there are 3 different mini games based upon classic games. You play one each day for a week. If you beat a mini game, you gain some stat increase to your device. If you lose you get nothing for the day. There are 5 different endings, but 3 are pretty similar to each other (leaving 3 distinct endings). Good Luck!
Also, don't mention the actual spoilers below. When you play the game there is a big spoiler and I'd rather people experience it for themselves :3

Any scientific processes depicted in the mini games are completely non-accurate! Do not take them as truth!

You move over the mainframe, table, or the switch to the far right and a message pops up on the bottom saying to press up. I think its a little hard to see.

I think there are a lot of problems in the mini games : the tetris is way too wide and the pieces fall very slowly, I don't know how much time it took me to fill to rows but it was very long. Same thing with the pong, it should be at least 2 times faster to be a little fun. The music is also repetitive.

Still, it was not a bad idea and I would have liked to see the end of the story which seemed fun :) Good job anyway !

I like the variety of mini games, and there is a lot of content, well done for this short amount of time. The mini games are a too slow however, and the chemistry mini game is really hard. Good entry!
