Sadly it crashed on me when it was getting good! It was a little after the tutorials were done. I must have put in a crazy combination or something. I really like the concept. The levels I played were well designed and Billy needs to calm down! Haha! Great entry. My favorite so far.

The story is so funny, this is a very original take on the theme, well done !
I love how the characters faces are extremely expressive in the intro, it's too bad the faces are not drawn on ingame characters, it could make graphics more cohesive overall and funnier.
The concept reminds me so much of Frozen Synapse, that I loved but found a bit too hard. Here the difficulty is quite well tuned, with some situations that are really tricky but never unsolvable. That's quite an achievement to do something so ambitious in a jam, you can be proud !

The only thing I want to say about this game is "thank you for playing!"

I appreciated the Frozen-Synapse-style gameplay in this. The game has an interesting puzzle feel to it when at first it looks like it's going to be more of an action game. The story was pretty funny too! Great work :)

Плюсы:
+ Есть сюжет
+ интересная механика
+ Достаточно много уровней, плавный ввод в игру

Минусы:
- высокая сложность, быстро
- по визуалу сложно считать хитбоксы

@captandrey По факту. С масками коллизий определенно есть проблемы. Со сложностью вышел обрез времени и не знаю насколько решение было верным, но пришлось выбирать: либо я показываю в одном уровне суть геймплея игры(поэтапное совершенствование плана на основе опыта предыдущих попыток, т.к. обучающие уровни этого абсолютно не раскрывали, а хотелось чтобы игроки пощупали игру какой она задумывалась), либо оставляю игру простой, но не даю прочувствовать идею самой игры, а только механику. Собственно я выбрал первое, осознавая что для джема нельзя делать сложные для прохождения игры, решил что получить более полный фидбэк для меня важнее чем высокие рейтинги. Спасибо за отзыв, он в целом подтвердил многие вещи над которыми я сомневался

Funny game with interesting mechanic. It would be useful to have keyboard shortcuts for starting/restarting and possibly actions at waypoints, as well as being able to create waypoints in between already existing waypoints. But good job overall!

@batkoi It's a good point, I didn't even think about use keyboard for this. And create waypoints between two other also maybe useful.Thank you!

Interesting funny game that reminds me of Hotline Miami or older versions of GTA.

I thought it's stereotypical top-view Action game at first time. Turns out it wasn't. Nice core system. I think It could be improved in a various way.
