@iguanana Thanks a lot! It should be more complex. Maybe I can make post-ld version after.

I absolutely love the artwork and color choice. The controls also feel very good. As people mentioned, the gameplay is very simple, but it meets the theme well and has a nice challenging memory aspect as you try to recall which shredders are still available use. Great game!

That pixel art is CLEAN. It's a really good looking game.

I like how it's something of a puzzle mechanic, deciding how to prioritize different shredders. The clock is very forgiving - almost too much. It felt like the last few seconds were forever.

I feel like tense music and a more stressed out character when the time runs low would add a lot to the feel, but I know how it goes with the time restraint.

It's cool.

I loved the pixel art! Also very soothing color palette for the whole game! sooo good! The animations and controls were very smooth.

One suggestion would be, I would really like a reset button on this game, cause in some of the longer levels, when I knew I had messed up the optimum order to complete the level, I had to wait until the whole timer ran out before getting to retry where as if a retry button was present that would let me go pass that unnecessary waiting time!

Keep up the amazing work!

Nice puzzle game that captures the theme well.
A reset button would have been nice as suggested.
Art is clean and well done.
I think some BG music would have been nice to add a lot more character and make the replays a little less monotonous.

Simple, but solid and could be extended upon if you wanted. Great work and good luck!

Nice game ! looks really neat. the gameplay is really simple but engaging.

Found a little bug. if you spam space on a door you'll get out of synch with the floor and won't be able to gather papers anymore.
Also ended up on a blank screen after teh 4th leve (not sure if it's the end game or a bug :/ )

papart from that pretty cool game. Good job :)

Pretty neat pixel art graphics ! Simple concept but still fun to play, well done ;) And yes maybe like others said a background music could have been nice and a reset button as well haha, but yeah, it's LD and especially compo, no one can do everything !

Funny game. Levels are passed only if you act as optimally as possible: there is no time even for a second of rest :)

@greenradiation Of course! No rest for corruptions :smile: Thank you for your feedback!

Nice art and animation, the game looks really cool.
The sound effect can become a bit annoying without some background music, but they do the job.
I also like the narrative, it's simple but original.

Really nice pixel art and smart level design, made me think about which shredder to use :D.

Theme is fitting nicely and overall good idea here.

Shredder goes brrrrrr

@dmitrygalias @vrex Thanks, guys! I was waiting for people to notice sound of shredders :smile:

I really enjoyed the clean pixel art style and the theme! (Speaking as someone who has also made a game about shredding evidence in the past...)

The puzzles feel perfectly paced. It always felt like I was done just in time.

Great game ! It's easy to play but fun, the graphics are really nice and I enjoyed the fact that the clock is actually in the game.

Good job :slight_smile:

I enjoyed a lot of different aspects of your game: The pixel art looks really cool, the game design is great, the levels are really well done, they are easy to understand and you have the whole perspective basically.
For me it's a puzzle game well done, so congratulations for the job and I would love to see more levels! :D

Neat puzzle game, well done. The art and level design are great. I like the challenge of having to plan the optimal path and also remember which shredders I've already used as well as which doors lead to where. Also absolutely in love with the timer being indicated by the clocks hanging on the walls; I really like it when decorative items serve a purpose in games.
