I'm not a fan of these types of chore games in general, but this is really well done and you manage to up the stress level quite well! The ship is also nice in this low poly style.

the alarm is a bit annoying!

Quite a stressful game, but you managed to make it simple enough to understand, so good job!

Great game. Loved the voice acting and how the beer and o2 tanks were similar. I couldn't figure out what to do after running out of spare parts or o2 tanks.

It's a pretty alright experience. After the first couple of days I spent a lot of time moving stuff around so they're all easier to access when I need to fix or resupply stuff. lmao

It helps that you're typically worried about just 1-2 tasks at a time after the frantic first few minutes, so it's never completely overwhelming once you get past that.

The only big issue I had is when the mouse stops working when you click or tab out, so it was mildly annoying to have to restart twice when I just wanted to write down my thoughts. But it seems to be a problem that's shared with a lot of web builds, so it's not exactly the game's fault.

Love the voice acting and the visuals look pretty cool to be honest, but after a while that alarm sound felt a bit distracting and repetitive. Overall, a solid good game which offers enjoyable gaming experience.

Wow, I'm impressed you were able to do all this in the jam. I found one tiny bug, I got a battery stuck in a wall, but overall very impressive!

That plug keeps flying around, or maybe I'm using it wrong.

Is it because the cable is too short to reach from one socket to the other, or a bug? P.S. Thanks for playing!

The start is so overwhelming because of the constant alarm sound. It was hard for me to understand what to do. But when you adapt, the game is very interesting to explore. And the voice acting is so cool!

I would add a lower level to the alarm for when there s only one issue so that the alarm is not constantly going. Other than that, I enjoyed the game. Good work!

There's always so much stuff you realise would be better for the game after the deadline is over, right? Thank you so much for showing off our game on your stream!

Came from the Nebster stream! I was trying to plug that cable but why is it so short! Then died lol. I felt sensory overload a lot of the time as multiple things began breaking down at once. You definitely managed to make me panic plenty :D

The intro was also cool how you used the countdown theme to count from 10. That was attention catching.

The audio was a bit repetitive as the alarm was blaring in my ear but it was fine.

Overall a great submission for the GMTK!
