Helping grandma get the TV working before her season finale is such a funny, relatable take on Old Tech. The wood-panelled television and chunky dials look great, and that frantic message from grandma gives the whole idea loads of character!
Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL like this is objectively hilarious and super creative, but holy guacamole, this game is absolutely incomprehensible 😂😂😂😂😂. Even clicking is super frustrating. Oh man, I could give a detailed critique about a lot of little things like how I didn't realize the ants were behind glass so I could interact with them. That said, for a game jam game, this is pretty incredible. It's really goddam funny, but oh god was it frustrating 😂😂😂. LOL when I plugged in the plugs the "right way" I was like uhh what 😂😂 Nice job. Can't wait to see this with a bit of UI love.
The scenario of trying to troubleshoot massive, vintage electronics is such a great premise. That frantic message from the granddaughter perfectly sets the tone and gives the whole little struggle real character!
Definitely give this game a try, it's worth your time! From the moment I started spanking that goblin, I already had a feeling something amazing was waiting at the end, fixing the tv just to watch that kind of show was totally worth it 10/10 for that alone! The graphics are great and the game keeps you interested until the end. You can tell the developers put a lot of effort into it. Overall, a really fun game and cool visuals. Great job!

The first scene really reminded me of level switching in the Beavis and Butt-Head game on Sega Genesis.
