Haha love it! Reminds me a lot of dumb ways to die :smile: Love the randomized snarky texts too, it makes the game more replayable.

scrolling text was a bit too fast to read but the game was fun.

I think it's worth breaking the car if it hits the border. Otherwise, good work!

@axonny I wish I could go back and edit that real quick right now, but the file for some reason didn't save a good bit of the code after I exported. (idk, the game has all the features when exported, but the oringinal file has missing parts. So i'd have to redo a lot to fix it. Sorry :(

@glen-chang Sorry about that, I'm a fast reader. I wish I could give the text more time, but I can't really edit the file due to reasons I listed in my reply to axonny.

@wouter52 Writing the comments was definitely one of the most fun parts of the game dev process for me! I got the idea from old flash game quizzes that would insult your intelligence.

@ache-games Thanks! I came up with the concept rather quickly, so I didn't really know if it was going to be used a lot.

@gingerningerish I'm glad it did!

Man there's not even enough time to read the instructions of "do the thing" before it explodes, haha. Very confusing, good pick on audio (but probably should have opted out of audio voting maybe?). Pretty okay!

It goes by a bit quickly, and I'm not exactly sure how I shut down the machine (I didn't feel like I was doing it right).

But I had a good time. The music really sells the high-pressure-environment.

This was actually fun. I don't even feel insulted (nice insults there) :D

Pretty cool! I like how the different mini-games make the game-play itself feel "unstable". I would recommend adding some difficulty to the game by making longer levels or a shorter timer.

@geojax thank you! I had the game play tested by a person who didn't play games often, so I may have adjusted the game to be a bit too easy.

@evangreenwood Hi, I'm still am sort of new to gamedev, so I dunno how to really do difficulty yet,however I do now know that the text is way too fast, something I'll have to improve on in the future. I have also gotten feedback the the game could have been harder so I guess it depends on the person. BTW, the music was made on opengameart by Spring Spring so you can check it out here if you want, I, think anyone can use it. (https://opengameart.org/content/fire-level) Thanks for playing!

@pcmaster I tried not to make the insults too hard on the player, they ARE saving the world from an exploding machine after all...
