Good game but I was confused a lot.

That was amazing, the execution of the theme was perfect and and the quirks of the mechanics that made it hard to play felt like they were accounted for in the story and humor, the pacing on the first run was hilarious as I tried to figure out what the controls were and how to move while having my goal shifted every few seconds. genuinely fun to play and made me smile and laugh a bit

Very cool concept, really funny game ("UWU"), overall nicely polished and agreeable entry!

Bien joué les gars ^^

I kinda hate the controls!! But I get what you're going for; it definitely feels like a satirical piece with intentionally frustrating design. The humor clicked for me as well and kept the experience very light. Kudos on making a truly *unstable* game!

The idea works really well for the theme, but I do think the game moved too fast for it to be as effective in it's humor as it could be. It would probably help if the email prompts stayed up for a couple more seconds. I get that chaos is suppose to be part of it, but I think most stuff will go over peoples heads if they don't get a chance to get their bearings, at least initially. Maybe give the earlier quests more time than the later ones?

Agree that the game goes a bit too fast through its phases for the player to really take it in. Otherwise, a creative concept :)

Think I'll have to play this one again when I'm not tired :laughing: I've seen a lot of comments this jam about bugs being part of the theme, so seeing this game made me lol. Very good job, loved it!
