This is pure evil :D Original, cute and with great connection to the theme. I especially love the “bad connection” sound. Nicely done!

There's lots of potential here. That said, the losing internet connection mechanic is kind of annoying in my opinion, especially if it's random. Maybe if losing the internet connection changed mechanics within the minigames somehow? I do love the graphics. Great job!

Its a great concept with some nice looking visuals

I'm always happy to see a game and watch / game boy looking game, I realy like the graphics :D The concept is nice but maybe it's me but I find the internet search a bit too random. Good job !

I think this is a really cool idea, graphics and general feel of the game are amazing. I'm not sure where you'd take this from here, but it's a great concept and really well thought out.

Having [ESC] be the button to exit the inner "game" was problematic when playing as it meant i couldn't play full screen. Otherwise lovely game. very cute feel

Really great interpretation of the theme! Beautiful graphics, too :smile:

Love the vibe of chasing down signal to play your mobile game! :P I got an internet connection lost error when just running around looking for internet, so does that mean.... I disconnected.... from the real world??? questions arise.

@eveenova yes

I love the concept of a game about looking for places to play games, and I think that general theme could be expanded on a lot. The art and sound was great (except the bad connection sound was a bit grating).

Nice music and graphics, and pretty fun although I wish you had more time to find a good signal before it game overed.

Pretty fun game. One big complaint though was that escaping from a game then coming back to it resumed it immediately which made it a bit rough and hard to really progress on a game

This game is amazing, the art style was beautiful and the connection to the theme was really creative.

I loved the way it felt like the first time you zoom out from the game to walk around was amazing! I it made it feel so much more expansive.

Really impressive game overall! The idea really fits the theme and I love the art too! Good work!

Some of the music in this game gave me RimWorld vibes for some reason.
I don't know why, but it's not a bad thing.

The art in this game is really clean.
I like the Gameman's design in particular.

I did have trouble finding a stable connection fast enough.
Which was a bit frustrating.

I like pixels.

Great graphics and cool concept. Having a sort of "connection compass" when searching for stronger connection areas would be helpful. Also for me the ZX buttons "worked" but didn't change anything inside the game. The buttons would highlight but nothing moved.

Nice music and art work.
And this game system!! I love it.
Great job!!
