A NORMAL DAY IN A NORMAL FACTORY!

First of all thank you so much for your feedback. Be sure we pay attention to all feedback. We will use them as advice for next challenges.

THE GAME :
Today, you are the employee of a boring factory. You know what? You just have to press 2 buttons in the good order to transform well the product. And you do while the entire day!
But don't think it's too easy, if you missed one the two operations, the product will be not as good as it should be, and it's non-acceptable if you missed both. Be careful, three non-acceptable products, and you are FIRED!

Too easy? Then go ahead and show us your skills !!!

Theme choosen : obviously growing ... oh wait ! not at all !
Made in C++ with SFML2.

We fixed the music loop in the new version and corrected some english mistakes. (You know, french are not so good in English !)

The linux version is up but not well tested, then say if there is something wrong with it.

Note : For those whose are asking about when they should do the combination : You have to wait that the product stopped ,it is when the first light stop flash. If you pressed before that, it doesn't count for the combination ;).
We will add a visual indication for this timming soon to "fix" this this problem.

Ha, nice take! The controls were a bit non-responsive at times, pressing too fast caused sequences to be missed. However, good work overall!

Pretty solid gameplay. Then again, I'll be a little biased since we have the similar quick-time-reaction-speed in the game :D so I naturally like it.

Would've liked some visual feedback to know if a sequence has been entered correctly or not while entering it, sometimes I thought I entered a correct sequence and it said it was wrong :(

Loved the sound! Could use a little mor variety in the long run if you plan to expand it post-jam.

Cheers,

Dude why didn't you select the music option? I was jamming out to that tune. The only bad part about the music was it failed to loop :| Anyway, great job. Nice to see some more SFML and less U n i t y

Nice idea. The switching of the colors and left and right is really confusing at times, but I suppose that's where the challenge comes from :)

A solid game. The pacing took a while to figure out, but once I had that it became a little too easy. Maybe if the speed ramped up gradually that would help with things. I wish there was a little bar that showed how much time I had left in each chamber as that was the trickiest part to figure out. My favorite part of this game were the different object graphics that entered and left the conveyor belt!

Difficult game, but still a cool concept. I liked the background music.

Sound stopped after a while...
Combinations were missed randomly? maybe pressed too fast

I liked it! Simple enough to digest, but difficult to master. I like seeing the transformation of the outputs. If there was some visual feedback to tell the player how long they have to input the button combos, that would be helpful. Great work!

Sometimes I felt that I missed a sequence but I did not lose a live, either I'm a pro or something was wrong. Fun idea however!

At first the game was rather confusing. I did wrong combinations all the time for some reason. After awhile it somehow sorted out by itself.
Funny game concept, chicken changed to cfk :>

If only working in a factory was that much fun! Also I really liked the music.

Gets a bit repetitive after some time, but the graphics look quite nice ;)

Really cool game !

Good job !

Pretty good concept with easy to grasp, hard to master gameplay. Catchy tune and tidy graphics. I felt like sometimes window for inputs was shifted in time to what I saw on the screeen.

Nice audio, and tutorial.
2 button controls including into tuto and menu : 5 stars.

Sometimes I failed I know why, but sometimes I don't understand why.
