very nice game
Thank you so much for taking the time to play!
This is incredible with how nice and clicky this micro manager is. I cannot believe this was 1 person in 1 week. A really jucy game ♥️
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words! It was a long week for sure 😅
nice game,nice Art
Thank you for your kind review! Most of the art is by Mucho Pixels (https://www.muchopixels.com/) and the robot is by David Harrington (https://opengameart.org/content/pixel-robot).
The art style is great, i lobe how polished the game in general is. Great job! I think this robot needs to automate this ship, manually scooping poop, lol. Overall, pretty stressful but in a good way :)
Thank you for your kind review! I'm glad you enjoyed playing!
What a panic inducing game (well done!)
Thank you for playing! I hope it was "good panic" 😅
Nice game, everything worked really well. Simple but effective. Good job!
Thank you for playing, Mondee!
I personally love Barotrauma, and this game reminds me of it fully, really great job i was panicking trying to figure out were everything is
Thank you for playing! I haven't played Barotrauma, but it looks great! Will check it out for sure.
5 stars all around, what a great experience. That stressed me tf out. Everything fit well together. There's a lot of different systems here that are working together really well. Really well done for the time constraints.
Thank you for the kind review, and for taking the time to play!
Very simple, but well executed! The use of the theme was pretty good as well. I do wish a little more was done with the concept, but this is a solid entry.
Thank you so much for playing! I may revisit this to expand it later on, it was a lot of fun to work on.
took a few tries to understand what to do, but when i got it, it was really fun! i like having 3 batteries and sprinting around
I'm glad you found all the batteries! 3 battery sprinting is the only way to go. Thank you for playing!
Nice visual, I liked that I had to pick up things and deal with them, I am still not sure what to do, I wish I had a small tutorial phase with increase difficulty.
One note on the audio: it was a bit loud, but besides that I enjoyed it!
Thank you for playing! The audio is definitely too loud, I need to control the volume and add a slider for it, too
nice visuals, cool game play, great fit to the theme, hope to see more
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing!
Hard and stressful but very rewarding! I enjoyed it! Great job!
Thank you so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed it despite stress! 😅
It's a great game! It's stressful in a fun and interesting way.
I only got up to 69%. I need to try more...
Thank you for playing! I'm sure you can get to 100% 😉
Played and rated! That was really cool! very hectic, stressful and cute little robot guy! Awesome job :)
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
Well done on submitting this nice game to the jam! I especially liked the sound effects and the box at the top of the game. I really felt the pressure building up. At times I felt a bit lost on what to do and where to go.
Had a great time playing - keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your feedback LryKo! I'm glad you enjoyed it. You're not the only one who got a bit lost while playing. Maybe some sort of problem indicator on the elevator controls could help. 🤔
I love it, but it seemed very difficult? I was busy trying to fix the reactor when my human died. But I choose to continue and not mention the fact that he's dead. The mission must go on.
Haha, thank you plexsoup! I'm glad you enjoyed it. There are indeed a lot of ways for your human to die, don't get discouraged if you fail at first.
As far as I'm concerned this is one of the best interpretations of the theme. Very cool. Deserves a lot of credit.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
who would've thought keeping a human alive is this much more stressful hahaha, really polished game i enjoyed every second of it. great work keep it up <3
Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed playing. 😊
Very much a full and complete game that tells a narrative and is enjoyable along the way. Extremely high level of attention to detail, whether it's the feet sound speeding up as you get batteries or the indicator for what floor you are on and the floor you are mousing on
Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback! It's always great to hear someone's appreciating the little details! 😊
