You've done a wonderful job on this and I'm very proud!!! I love cool_rat_games and can't wait to see their character arc explored in the inevitable hit sequel

Very nice. I like the text in the bottom as you play and how it gets static over it when your signal gets low.

Since you used btnp, it's still possible to hold the button down to hack and not have to mash.

It seemed no matter how many signals I hacked, my signal was still going down.

I love it! the art is wonderful and the story is adorable - you did an excellent job! ☆☆☆☆☆ I love the way the packages move when you go back, and the bird is super cute

Pretty fun! I got to level 2. The dialog was very funny too!

All fun and nice but the used font is really hard to read, which makes controls for the players hard to learn/guess.

Oh this looks lovely! Great art, and the signal effect on the text at the bottom is inspired, super good work. I struggled a bit with what to do in the game, and my hand hurt from mashing the z key so much, so I had to stop :(
Which is a shame as this looks like a really good entry. Great job!

Holding down Z avoids the button mashing as it will automatically trigger multiple key presses. Minor graphical glitch I felt, with a large number of packets if you started to move the last packets position seemed to jump a lot rather than moving position smoothly.

Good use of the PICO-8 engine to knock out an overall good game, was fun to play.

Cool that you used the PICO-8, I've been meaning to try it out. Especially good job if it's your first time using it!
I had a hard time reading what button I was supposed to press so I'm pretty sure I wasn't playing the game correctly. Took the second play-through before I realized that the colours co-related to the colours in the bottom right.
In the end I lost because yellow bars didn't spawn, which kind of sucked.
Overall, though, really good job, it was fun and cute. I like those things, haha

Nice and fun game! I've never heard of PICO-8 so this was an unique experience in that regard too. :)

Nice game! The tutorial was good but I couldn't read what's the button to press. By reading comments, I tried Z and it seems working.
