The sound and the art fit very well together and this game is so aesthetically pleasing I would recommend people playing this game only because of that!

You got the clumsy controls to work out very smoothly, I like it.

**Overall** I had a great time playing this game, the mood was spot on!
Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future!
Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

Wow, Clumsy Clemens really is clumsy! Can't say I completed the game (though I tried for a while) but I enjoyed the time spent trying, this is a well finished game with a ton of charisma. Everything runs smoothly, the art is lovely and the way you tell the story is hilarious, it reminds me of the great Edward Gorey.

Amazing job!

Hey, very intresting intro, I liked it! The art is nice too. But the gameplay is like some kind of chaos though it's pretty funny. I broke everything and my batteries were scattered in the corners. If it was intended, like in Surgeon Simulator, you know, then fine. It was fun! :D

Wow! Very fun and the mood is really nice! I must admit I kinda got a stuck (but is worth saying I'm pretty bad with discovering gameplay mechanics on my own).

I like your intro and the gameplay is very interesting. I didn't managed it, but it was fun to play.

Good work! :)

Played enough to connect all the batteries and randomly click buttons on the left but I have no clue how to proceed. Very nice idea and smooth gameplay, moving stuff about is enjoyable I just wish there was a better explanation. It would be good if cables were of different color, I'm not sure if you left them white to increase difficulty, tracking their movement feels intense.

One of the best compo entries I've seen so far. It took me a couple of tries to accomplish the task, but it was a great fun to play this game.

Great job!

It was fun to poke around and try to get everything pieced together but eventually I just ended up clicking and smashing everything together (definitely on me though, not one for puzzle games). Nice work.

1. Lags too much
2. I completely don't understand what I'm supposed to do
3. I like cookies

The controls and gameplay were very nice. I didn't beat it, but it played it for a while and I think I got fairly far. Couldn't figure out what to do with the toggle switches on the 9 panel or the blinking red lights.

@nnnikki: Thanks for your comment! What kind of lag do you mean? Does the framerate drop? Does the flashlight lag behind? When does it occur? What flavor of cookies?

Graphics look really good and I like the ambient and poking sounds. What I think isn't right is that the game doesn't do enough things to keep player intrested in playing further. So you should either add some narration or add smaller achievements like changing map, some mechanism, explosions or just anything that would suprise player and make him wonder what else there is in game to explore.

I really like the art style fir this. However after several minutes I still couldn't figure out exactly what I was supposed to be doing. That didn't stop me from liking the game. I managed to have plenty of fun wildly swinging the flashlight around!!! :)
