Spoilers and clues
!> Experiment 4 - drag away bugs to reveal the button then press it !> !> Experiment 5 - tap the right side of the rock !> !> Experiment 6 - tap all the fake buttons to find the real one !> !> Experiment 7 - tap on the right side of the button to push it left, tap its top to push it down. Get the button into the socket at the bottom left. !> !> Experiment 8 - drag away the bugs quickly. This is hardest with a touch pad, easier with a mouse, and easiest with a touch screen.
I feel lucky to be the first reviewer. This was awesome! All the music, the graphics and everything was well aligned. I played through all variants, but could not manage to finish any of them, because I have only a touchpad now, so the insects coming towards to the button stopped me clicking :) I loved the best the sarcastic lady ;) Where did you get those tracks? Text to speech?
The mechanics are simple but the writing is so good that it feels immersive and fun to play. I had a minor bug on collisions, sometime clicks were not taken into account (the button that moves up and down triggers the click sound but the level doesn't end).
@owlycode thanks for the report. I had that experience too. What's happening is that you click-down (press) on the button, but click-up (release) outside the button, which cancels the click. That's how most buttons work on the web (including this comment's "publish" button). This is a bit surprising, especially with the way the sounds work. I might make the click-down sound a bit more like a "tap" sound and the mouse-up sound more strong, because it feels like a bug. So you can tell when you really clicked it.
@olddog I added spoilers to the description above - what you need to do is to tap on the side of the button to *push* the button to the hole.
i loved it! i was laughing all the way thanks to dialogues. it's an extremely clever idea! i really wanted to see a graph of when i was better at the end of the loop, but that's ok. great job!
Such a fun game to play! Pretty dark also, made me think about those experiments in the 80's where someone would click a button believing they would shock someone at the other side.

Voice acting is very well executed.

So I guess people like encouragement, and prefer not to kill people.
