Man, this is perfect, I've always wanted to play this game Singleplayer! You made my dream come true, well done!

I liked the idea and the game but to be honest I didn't really feel this bomb thing fitted right into the one room theme

Awesome and unique game. I absolutely loved it! Voice acting is superb. Writing too. And you really need to listen to, what is said and concentrate. Great! Will play again ant want more ;)

Excellent idea and execution. I got at least a couple of minutes in before dying after losing concentration at a critical moment.

Surprisingly fun!

Very cool concept but the girl in the background who won't shut up was very annoying. I suppose that was the point but still.

Very good execution. I didn't complete it though, I would have if every level would be repeated individually, but having to restart from the beginning for multiple times was too frustrating.

Mindblowing :)
The writing is great and acting is a real plus. The work on sound mixing and music is humbling. I fact this is the music is what impresses me the most. Corinne and Brian, congratulation this is great art!

You absolutely nailed it. Very well done. I found it really hard to focus on the main voice xP

This was great to play. Fantastic job. I like the 2 voices going on definitely made it a nice challenge. The randomness was good as well. Keep up the great work

Wow, mood was excellent especially thanks to the wonderful work audio and Narration Design. This is a really unique and memorable entry

Amazing voice acting and very reminiscent of its namesake. Fantastic work :)

Talk about intense. Having two people talk over each other, with the more important person to listen to being partially distorted, really worked well in this. I was actually in a panic when trying to work out which pin to cut or which capacitor to attach a resistor to.

Plus having the solutions be randomized definitely helps with replayability. Brilliant work!
