This was very impressive! I liked how the music sped up as my capacity was running low, making me feel stressed as I get overwhelmed with the tickets. The game itself is also very engaging, with how much strategy it requires and the many layers the system has. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much. I am glad you enjoy it.

I enjoyed playing this one! Another stat management game haha I couldn't beat the Senior Protocol. I think it relies too much on luck right now and it needs balancing. I managed to get a perfect run for Onboarding Protocol though! :D Great game. Good luck on the jam!


Developer

That's Awesomeee! I am glad you enjoyed it and secured a perfect run. I'll keep your feedback of balancing senior protocol in mind. Thanks

Who could've thought that being sysadmin is so difficult! All those tickets are really draining away sanity! It took me quite awhile to catch a grasp on how scripts work, but in the end I even managed to finish couple of shifts, haha! Very interesting idea, well done!

Thank you so much for playing. I agree that it can be difficult to get into the mechanics. Thanks for the feedback

Really enjoyed this game, think its a really cool concept! I tried playing the senior mode but kept getting dealt all reds, or the last card being a -14 energy. I think you can go a long way with strategy, keeping certain cards and also putting certain ones to the back, but I still feel there is alot of luck involved. I'm not sure if something like a script bank would help, where you can store up to 3 scripts at once, as I found myself wasting alot of the script cards, especially when dealt nothing but them, but that might be something to consider. Really awesome game, loved it! (was definitely frustrating at times though)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind for next time. Thanks for playing it

Thats huge !! I kinda felt overwhelmed at first then i started to understand how to play. Good job :)

Developer

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it!

At first, I wasn't exactly sure what to do - there are A LOT of informations and mechanics in this game, and that isn't a bad thing! But I felt a bit overwhelmed at the beginning, to be honest.

Then, after I lost my first two runs, it startet to click... my fifth run was finally victorious.. and my sixth, I lost my seventh... What I want to say is: It didn't get boring at all! This feels like it could be easily converted into a fun board game. Great job!

Developer

That's great feedback thanks. I knew it was not the easiest game to learn for players. I tried my best to make the tutorials and manual helpful to understand, but I knew once people knew the mechanics its easy to pick up and play endlessly trying to improve the rating... I really appreciate you try out my game.

Way to trigger my PTSD :)

This game is a lot of fun and very well made. Only thing I wished for was hotkeys for the cards.

Developer(+1)

Haha, thanks for playing the game!

This game is so cool! I really like the overall design of it. I think you did a great job on just about every aspect of the game!

Developer

I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!

It is challenging and also very fun. Among the games I have played so far, this one has the most strategy!

I think it might be better to use the SNOOZE STACK to arrange different cards in an alternating order. In my runs, I kept putting all the big red cards at the back, and in the end I just got beaten up and died.

Overall, it is very fun!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing. Yes you kinda have to know how to use the snooze stack. Its not just for putting high critical tickets to the back but also good perks and scripts too. That's where understanding of the game and strategy comes in play. But I am glad you enjoyed it

art looks super cool!

Developer

Thank you so much!

It looks easy but the last 10 or so are quite difficult actually, which is fun! I'll attempt to win tomorrow.
I like a lot how smooth everything is, it's clear there's been work at polishing it. Great job!

Developer

Haha i know. You can use the snooze stack button for your advantage to strategize your end game stacks. Let me know how it goes tomorrow!

Really cool! 

Developer

Thank you!!

Took me a few minutes to get the hang of it but I like the concept! Every choice matters and you start to flow with the choices pretty quickly once you pick it up. Great work!

Developer

Thank you so much! I am glad you liked it. I tried to keep it balanced but also fun.

Hehe lol. I am glad you enjoyed it!
