Newbie?
Yes - I'm new to game jams!
How does your game fit the theme?
This game fits the theme in two specific ways:
1. Press start as the name literally means start the game which is a journey to starting up a faulty system. I had plans of making animations for each component turning on as each level was cleared.
2. This is the first game I have ever made. I just had to start, but starting was not enough. I had to submit something to complete the starting phase, especially when I lost power for 3 days straight. Very demoralizing.
Either way, I have started and while I only made one level that I can't say is fun. I learnt a lot and whatever I make next can only be better. I mean, the scope was fine, if I could focus for the jam period and I had a bit more experience with level design, but I made something and I can update it later.
Just Get Started, huh?
Well, I started.

Great start to your game! I love the idea of beating levels to boot up your system and the whole game was very atmospheric. Can't wait to see more levels!
Pretty fun mechanic and game feel. But I'm not sure what the objectives are in the game.
Yeah, I overlooked. Bit off more than I could chew and I also gave up halfway through.
I'll make another game for GMTK, this one will be better.
