The animation was exquisite, and manchinic is easy to understand.

~~I found it was easy to pass if clicking along the signal~~. I the playing is interesting, though.

Very easy to play and fun. The art was great. And the little story was fun as well.

Hahaha, wow! This was really great! I loved the humour and the direction of the story. The animations and drawings are really top notch!

Audio was super tight as well. Especially the intro, but also the background music and sfx.

The gameplay felt like something out of an arcade game, fun and easy to grasp.

Very well done!

fastest clicker wins! cute little game

Game is great, but I don't think Ministry will approve it...

The tech vibe is so fucking cool! It reminds me of Fallout, maybe that was the inspiration. The game is also completely hilarious and offers a very interesting, original, and fun gameplay loop. I love it! My only critique is that perhaps the “click to find gnomes” feature could have a cost, so people don’t spam-click all the time — maybe a few seconds of cooldown before reusing it. But anyway, great game. Well done!

HAHAHAHA the intro is SO GOOD! I also liked the usage of the intersecting lines to find the items but what I loved the most was the cool as hell story. I hope the ministry of truth (I like the 1984 reference) doesn't get me for this!

A nice little game. I liked how it was directed, and definitely a thumbs up for the unique, non-generic gameplay.
I also can’t help but praise the visuals — it’s clear a lot of effort went into them.
Well done!

So much story in so little time. Very cool idea, mechanics and artwork.

But remember:
They do not exist. The Ministery does not condone the distribution of gnomspiracy-theories!

That opening animation is so cool! The art and music are super polished, and the gameplay’s really fun — great job!

nice game, opening cutscene is so good!

Nice intro or better yet, amazing intro!
And big plus for being the first game to work on mobile device!

Very good opening scene, good gameplay with a good balance between difficulty and ease of understanding. I certanly had fun!

The controls somehow do not seem to work for me. No matter where I click or what keys I use nothing is happening besides a whoosh sound an a gray circle in the interface

The intro and animation is top-notch, love it! Overall, the game feels perfect, great submission

Haha, thanks! That was pretty fun. I loved the art and music. I hope you continue to develop the game

Absolutely loved the plot, opening scene is awesome and made me fall in love with gnomes at first frame haha. Would have been great to keep the humour as part of the gameplay a bit more but everything's pretty solid otherwise, music and art are good and gameplay is quite particular. Congrats ! Please watch "la quête de l'humain" on youtube I think you'll like it.

Sweet and simple. No issues on the technical side which seems to be a general trend. For such a rapid-fire game I would've expected more gimmicks and gameplay tricks, maybe even a difficulty tweak. Nothing wrong with it being what it is currently but more is better when there is content for only 60-120 seconds. Overall a very fine game.

What a great entry ! Really funny use of the theme and nice lore, so much done for a jam game ! Loved the intro

The game really call for more content, I would have like to use the different usages of the mechanics on a bigger map in the end

Nice job

Really enjoyed the music and sound fx. There were no noticeable cuts in the music which is really nice. Visuals were amazing too. Despite it being a really short game, there's evidently more lore, and I felt kind of confused. Gameplay was unique and interesting though. Would love for it to be expanded in a 15 minute game. There's a lot to work with here.

Woah!

Fellow gnome gnower! The level of polish here is awesome - I love the art style and the music! The addition of the detector devices adds a bit more to the gameplay loop, but I never really felt threatened by the time constraint since it's pretty generous. Finishing each level as fast as possible became kinda addicting. Really awesome work!

Just one word: mouahahahahh!
Good job, well done, it was fun to search all those… things (and wow, this intro…)

Thank you so much for your feedbacks, which I read carefully :pray:

We absolutely loved (maybe even a little too much) making the intro.

For those who are interested about the TRUTH, the prequel is another LD: GNEWS.

_To be transparent_, there’s an additional coded feature that “cuts the signal.” This blocked the “line” sensor, which increases the complexity.

The issue was that we didn’t quite master the level design and difficulty for these levels, and a feedback was missing for better readability.

That’s why the gameplay is rather short—we preferred not to artificially inflate it (to respect your testing time).

Thanks again!
