You are the microwave! You do not like when popcorn spoils your surface because people clean you is not often. So you have to blow corn very carefully. You need to not let the popcorn or corn run out of the bowl!!

Very original and fun little game, there is not much variety in the different levels though.

Great idea, beautiful art and fantastic audio, only criticism is that the levels don't change much. Awesome game though for such a short amount of time.

I got myself caught into playing that game over quite a few times. The gameplay ends up being quite fun and you want to replay it to do better than last time. Before I realized it, I managed to get a high score of 670 ^^.

I am a big fan of the cutesy art, and silly audio myself. Awesome job ! ;)

I agree with what the first two people here said. ;) And I really liked the "Don't press' level mode. And the graphics were very cute! But I didn't like the sound. It got really annoying really fast!

And for the level variety. I even felt that the last levels were easier than the middle ones. Maybe because of the sort of popcorn that comes in? Not sure...

Oh this was really great. Love the use of the theme and it is incredible... always wondered how it must feel, to be a microwave :-D Also outstanding sounds/voices of the poping popcorn. Really nice! Great Job!

Think this is the game I've played most of so far (even think I reign surpreme as Popcorn King, ruler over all corn). Really like the overall concept, cute art and voice clips. Wonder how it must've been to make those noises in the mic without laughing.

Ooh ye.

@ente Thank for your feedback! We have some ideas how to make levels different but we were out of time to add them during the jam:) We're going to fix it afterwards:)

Pretty cute game ! I would have like some funny background music and maybe tell the player what he score was after he lost XD (even if we can see the highscore by playing again)

Oh yeeeah

Fun little game! The different popcorn and sound effects are really cute, and I liked how the smallest corn popped into the biggest popcorn with wiggly brows xD

anstabo15 Aug 2018, 13:15
Boom hihi whoop, those sound effect ! It's a cute little game that doesn't require to be focused on it, very relaxing, but, because there's always a but, i didn't understand the difference between levels and sometimes some corn was stuck behind another pop corn. Cool game !

i really like the idea, the visual and sound effect are fun and i like the fact that the level selection is part of the microwave, good job!

Dont press mode is amazing and sound are soo cool :smile: Managed to score 840 but still it is really hard to find a proper strategy for popping. Corns are really cute. Overall great and fun game to play!

Liked the game except there wasn't really much strategy of skill. It was mainly click and hope for the best! Still fun mind

Very fun game, would love to see a survival mode, where I try to stack as much popcorn as I can. Nice entry!

Aww this is cute, and quite fun. Really simple gameplay with a lot of rng, but there's still some strategy involved. I enjoyed this.

This game made me hungry. Haha cool idea! I really like the overall feel, good job with audio and graphics. I agree with the others in saying it lacks a bit of variety, but it's a really nice mini-game. :)

This game makes me hungry too! Great graphics and audio, and it plays well. I really like the little faces on each piece, it's pretty cute. Also, fantastic job utilizing the theme, it really works well with this game. I hope to see more games from you in the future! This one was very fun to play.

Really nice entry! The last level took me many attempts, but I finally got it (even though it felt a bit like luck). Very cute graphics and sound effects, and a very original idea! Thanks for making this!

Thank everyone for your feedback! Every comment is important for our team!

@saering We think about it, but we have no musician in our team:(
@anstabo @htmichael @pyrodaes The idea was to make all the corns with different shapes, sizes and also mechanics. Now, after players feedback I see that popcorn have not enough defference. I going to fix it but after LD, I think. Thank you!:)
@noxalus I haven't heard about it:) going to check it soon:) Thank for the link!

onderful time killer! I would add a variety of levels, such as different dishes, etc. And one of the popcorn reminded me

This is such a humorous game!!! :smile: :smile: :smile: I loved the different types of popcorn, with their unique sounds and "personality". I had a slight problem with this game, namely that it's easiest to just pop all popcorns as fast as possible and hope that it will count as a win before they fall out. Apart from that, really good entry!

:smile:

I love this kind of game, simple and addictive, especially in the survival mode, the voice acting is very charming, I could listen to that all day hahah.. Great entry!
jcwelgemoed16 Aug 2018, 17:14
Cool game. loved the sound effects which really made me smile, and the "don't press" mode is the most fun of all
Mammabouter16 Aug 2018, 17:16
Loved playing this. Well done. Definitely a cool take on the theme and quite well executed.
KapiteinKoekwous16 Aug 2018, 17:47
Fun game! Really nice concept, well implemented! Great visuals as well! One thing; I'd make the clean-bottle a little less powerful, to keep the tension high. Great work :D

Cool little game. It's simple, but it's fun. And it looks and sounds good as well. Nice job!
Holy16 Aug 2018, 21:21
It's a nice simple game, first tries I clicked carefully trying to think what was the best order to "pop the corns", but finally I managed that was easier to click all of them as fast as I could. xD This game can keep anyone entertained a few minutes, it's perfect if you have a break time. Would be really nice with more levels but is a good game considering the time limit. Good job!
Veilastrum16 Aug 2018, 21:33
I like this take on the theme. It's also pretty fun-and funny at the same time. Good job!
heidelbert16 Aug 2018, 22:28
At first I thought this is quite absurd but there is actually a skill-based progression to it and in the end it was a bit of a zen-like experience. Now I will try to get the sounds out of my head :-D Good job!

I had fun with this one! The sounds were good, and the graphics were nicely done. I am not sure that a timer really fits in this type of game, though, especially in "don't press" mode. Also, I'm unsure why the button is named that. I originally thought it was a quit game button, so when I went to quit, I was surprised to see it start. That was the best mode in my opinion. I believe that you should remove the timer and change the button to say "endless mode." Overall, this is a good entry :)
KapiteinKoekwous18 Aug 2018, 21:48
Hey there! This game was played on www.twitch.tv/arjendesign just now! Great entry!
dk5000p19 Aug 2018, 20:35
I enjoyed how each popcorn had personality. Maybe just some background music would have been nice. I liked the do not press level. Overall I had fun playing the game but seemed that there was more luck than skill to the play patterns.

The sound effects are cute and great. I managed to get through the levels by trigger-clicking wihtout any strategy involved. But enjoyed it nevertheless.
