The Manbutton Project by AndideBob
The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons.
This has nothing to do with the game, we just thought it is a weird coincidence how both sound similar.
And there's nukes. That you set off. Ooooh you better make sure they don't go kablowy, otherwise you'll be in big trouble.
I'm talking overtime to clean up the mess that'd make. So you better call the support and get this fixed before lunch break.
Known Bugs:
-Certain Keyboards do not register all key-presses, if the keys are all in a certain group
-The sound cuts out in the web version (So please play the Download version if you can)

some keys are not working but very well done with the leaderboard
I cannot think of a single thing that I would like to see different in this game.
Great work!
Good job!
The art style, music, voice over. Everything is so great and polished and that in this little amount of time.
It was finger twisting and mind bending. Holding down the wrong keys, because I think I'm holding the right one but it's one beside. Fun.
I encountered the know issues with the keyboard, but it wasn't a huge issue.
If it helps, I was using the German (Qwertz) Layout on a M1 MacBook Air.
But it really wasn't a huge deal and didn't bother much.
It also doesn't fall under consideration for the ratings, I just pretend everything worked fine.
I mean, it did for the most part so yeah.
Good game
For some reason some buttons weren't accepted, as if it's some responsive problem.. I don't know if it just me.
Great idea and game overall, simple but on point! Nice!
This might also be fun with 2 people to press the keys
The fact that i'm able to chose my keyboard layout is really helpful.
I am really really bad at this game. Really bad. So bad!
Felt like playing twister with my hands on my keyboard and got totally confused after a few seconds!
It has kind of a fun element to it though!
Although the highscore system do add a layer of replayability i'll not try it again to be honest, as i was just really bad. Sorry.
Graphics:
The artstyle made me feel like a nuclear bomb commander in the 1970s who is desperately trying not to launch the nukes!
That's a huge plus!
Audio:
The music and the voice on the telephone really added to my frustration while failing to press the correct buttons. That is a plus! I just felt totally overwhelmed playing this game.
Loved the artstyle and the voice acting, it really added to the experience, and the music is great.
I like that you have configiurations for different keyboard layouts, that's a nice touch.
Good job!
