It froze at 140s on the timer as I tried to put out a fire in the dining room. I'll give it another shot, but I thought you'd like to know.

Edit: On my second try, it didn't freeze. I got to 54 seconds remaining. It's tricky and I'm not sure I understand how to do some things that need done, like turning off the car.

But it is a fun and interesting little game! I like the physics and the sporadic nature of the events. Nice work!

The idea is really cool ! Physics and graphics are really enjoyable as much as the music does, my only problem comes from the sound design that is quite loud. You did a great job ! =)

Hi,

That is a neat idea. Summoning the evil Alexa to destroy the house.

Things I liked:

- Graphics are pretty neat, the floor by floor view is nice
- Physics can be fun to mess around with
- I like the turn of events from being cozy to being a horror game

Some I think need improvements:

- Stuff being more responsive when interacting with E
- Sounds are tooo jarring
- Can die very quickly without knowing what happened
- Menu style could be better

The web version wouldn't load for me so I had to download the win64 build.
Fun idea running around the house putting out fires trying to keep the temperature down. Got to around 30s left.

Good polish with the emissive materials around, and the voice lines telling you what needs to be done is a nice touch. I found the game very difficult, I attempted 4 times but could not beat it.

Having the same button to activate the fire extinguisher and interact was a bit frustrating, is there a way to drop it?

Overall great work!

I think the game was quite fun. I did struggle and lose quite quickly though as a lot happens at once to kill the player.

Interesting gameplay, it's a bit hard to tell what is happening at the start but the idea is good.

What a delightfully high-production-value entry! The house and interactivity is all lovely. The idea of an evil Alexa destroying your house is a novel one, and there's something about the gameplay loop that reminds me of the chaos of an Overcooked game (in a great way). Very impressive and polished!

Fun game but it was hard to tell what I should be doing after finishing the "quests"

Died one or two times not really understanding why, but I had a lot of fun playing your game well done.

This held together pretty well but seemed to escalate very quickly and on my first playthrough I picked up a fire extinguisher before making the tea and then couldn't interact with anything.

Quite hard! The game feels polished, the graphics is very nice! I think the issue that I had is sometimes interacting with things feels not very responsive or there is too little feedback. I really like the gameplay even though it's quite hard! Overall, very nice!

fun game, but I had issues when trying to interact with E and Q not working a lot of the time when trying to drop the extinguisher. Great graphics and very unique design, I really liked it :)

Interesting take on the theme and it took couple fails to get hang of it. So, what should I say, I enjoyed it!! Well done!

Cool idea and good execution! I was a bit confused on my first try, and the game did freeze during another try. Besides a few issues this is a great entry!

I didn't understand what to do, but it's a fun idea)

This is really unique! Love the art style and the game loop. Only issue I have is the temperature is increasing really fast for me and never seems to cooldown. Hazarding a guess that my game is running on too high a frame rate?

Love Angel logo and voice! Also really interesting take on the theme. The only downside is that it's not always obvious how I can stop what Angel does (or if I can stop it at all): I would have preferred to have more difficult task (which would have made the game more chaotic) but more clear, even if this means less of them.

This game drove me crazy:
- the door that blocks me without me understanding right away.
- why the fire that does not want to go out despite all the efforts.
- interactions which do not give their name (for example I still don't know where the thermostat is)

ect, ect, ect...

it's a real shame because I think the game idea is pretty good
