Wow, first off, the art style is absolutely stunning! From the menu UI to the character sprites, everything looks so polished and charming—it was a real treat for the eyes right from the start.

Regarding the gameplay, the "manager saving students" concept fits the theme well, though the core loop felt a bit conventional in terms of innovation. I ran into some friction with the mechanics: the ultrasonic bat repelling felt a bit finicky at times.

My biggest hurdle was the Ice/Fire level. When the fire student "extinguished" while I was lowering the temperature, I genuinely thought they had died and restarted the level several times! It took me a while to realize they were just "dormant" and could be revived with heat. A clearer visual cue there would have saved me a lot of confusion.

Overall, a visually brilliant entry with a solid theme connection. If the gameplay innovation and mechanical feedback were tuned a bit more, this would be a top-tier project. Great job on the polish!

A very unusual and interesting idea, but the execution could definitely use some work. I’d actually suggest going for a fully top-down view to make controlling them more comfortable. Or switching to an isometric perspective instead. Either way, thanks — it was interesting.

@moyuowo Thanks for your playing! We tried to better our art while time was limited. I think the idea is good, but a lot lot of thing we couldn't finish in 3 days.
@podrez Thanks for your playing! We didn't realise the fact that top-down view should be better for controlling, and decided to use a Among-us-like view.

特别好游戏 创意特别吸引人 关卡的难度递进也有 美术风格也整体统一 只是ui界面有一点小问题 总之就是特别好

A fun concept! The way students have their own movement speed and the signals they respond to really makes me think and strategize. I kept messing up with the fire element every single time… It would just freeze up. But then I saw the comments and realized it can reignite. Overall super fun and really creative!

很有意思的角色设计！如果视角调整一下会更好（我常常把batman赶出了屏幕orz

可爱的！！

Love your artstyle <3

画面好可爱，游戏内容也蛮不错的，很贴合主题，UI操作上温度这样的重复点击变成滚轮可能更流畅一些。总之是很可爱的游戏了

It's a very unusual and interesting idea, an unusual and captivating concept.

Very cool take on the theme, but definitely needed a better explanation of what I was supposed to be doing. Was there a purpose to "Go back?" The elements were blind and deaf? I think they moved based on temperature, but I didn't understand what temperature they wanted.

@paulmag Thanks for your playing! In original design there are different kinds of events, such as school terror or meteor, so going back is another tool for continuous events, while time limits. The element should be visualized better for different status to suggest "Frozen" and "Extinguished" status, but we don't have enough time for that. I think a more clear feedback for this game will be made since we have more time. Again, thanks for your playing and feedback!

非常喜欢这些小人的设计

good artstyle, good idea, but its just boring personally especially when the elements come in its just clicking and waiting for them to reach the door, cool game though

Damn, game is simple yet conceptually interesting. Maybe lacks some polish but lets be real its a jam game. I liked the batman and the elements, but maybe would be nice to have a bit more player agency in terms of first 2 races. Visually the game is cute and i really liked it. Took a couple tries to beat the last level but i did it! Good job!

I was immediately drawn in by the initial scene!
It reminded me of the games I used to play when I was little - Forest Ice and Fire People. I thought the style of this artwork was very interesting. I also found this escape game quite enjoyable, but the time seemed a bit tight. I had to try several times before I succeeded.

Cool use of the theme. Originally I thought it was just going to be a time management puzzle game but it turned much more complex very fast. Its a cool idea but played upon very strangely. The art is nice. The gameplay is easy to understand. The concept seems interesting. I just find the gameplay loop neutrally executed, and thats better than our game! Very cool entry

Nice mechanic concept and cool art. Good job.

Great entry! The fire dude kicked my ass a bit, but I got it in the end!

Clean and well executed. The gameplay loop works and makes sense. It would have been nice if there were more of a puzzle to solve, like if each signal effected each student in different ways. The setup and description promised a puzzle game, but the actual gameplay didn't really deliver on that idea.
The art is good and the controls were intuitive.
