Shutting Down by MrOrry
This is my first ever "finished" "game"! It's a simple visual novel about a computer that tries to shut down, but the red button is to darn shiny not to press. It's really short, about 4-5 minutes with some light humor.

Also, don't forget to extract the zip before launching the .exe! The .exe needs the .pck to be in the same folder.!

It's so delightfully frustrating.
That had me gut busting all throughout the house. Almost woke up the kiddo. Your button game is a masterpiece, especially the in game assets. I like the credits being built-in. I didn't figure out what the <redacted> button does yet, but I don't think my fingers can handle it. Also, I suck at pong. Really suck when I'm using literally a laptop trackpad mouse and a right hand real mouse to click at double speed to keep up.
Your joke was gold, and so was the background that inspired it.
Thank you! That was a great time, played 3 times before my fingers gave up, though I didn't realize that I should just mash at the start to get the text to go by fast. I sat there from 10->2 like for 30 clicks haha.
-A very fun and clever game over all, the dialogues are well written and the "traps" pretty smart, kuddos to the blue button.
-However, I have some slight details to report : the game exe is called Ludum.exe and not "The Button.exe", same goes from the
window which is named "Ludum (DEBUG", also, the icon is et to the default godot one while the button as an icon would have been a nice
detail. The grandmas are in front of the next, and I think that the lack of sound, even just "Typewritters" sound for the text or click sound
for the button, lessen the impacts of the players actions.
-The fact that the game is windowed made me click outside of the screen once
But besides these nitpicky details, I had a good time, despite the fact that after 5 tries, I only got the the green button.
It gives the game the touch
I like your game, although just for once I think. The public domain wool is funny. Well done!
Maybe some music or sound effects would give it a bit more flair
P.s. Please use .zip instead of .rar, not everyone can afford WinRar you know :laughing:
My only real suggestion for next time as of now is to export a web build and upload it to a website such as itch.io, since that will make more people willing to take the time to play your game if they can play it directly in the browser!
Nice work!
