Nice little retro game. Theres not much you can do, but the things you can do, work. Thats important.
Omg, this game is so hard! Really liked the idea. Nice game
Easy to play and understand. Good idea. But I think there's not a lot to do, you just need to walk around an stand on the cables. Still like it though!!;)
thats some real interpretation of stay alive) the game is hard, just like life is
While there isn't a huge amount to do, I do still like the retro feel of your game. Overall a pretty good game.
Fun little arcade game! A nice way to make light of the current pandemic. Plus points for Pico-8 of course!
Nice little game, made it to the end of year with 200$ left. Did not found it too challenging, it could benefit from some increased difficulty over time. different cutter pattern maybe? Like eating 2 tiles of cable?
Nice arcade game with this good retro feeling.
Nice game! Always cool to play something made in Pico-8. It feels like a classic arcade game, similar to Donkey Kong and is quite charming. It's missing some collision elements though, but I imagine if I had to go down each chain before going up another, the game would be a lot more difficult.
Overall it was good!
What a cute little game! I survived the whole year after a while. ❤ the graphics and fun to see a Pico 8 game.
The game could need some sounds when a cable is broken, when you repair it and when a building gets or loses electricity. It would keep the motivation up.
Neat concept for a game. Those rats are so destructive. I made it to August then I ran out of money.
I made $290, woo-hoo! I think a greater variety of challenge would benefit this game - either new types of dangers for the cables that require a different solution than standing on them, or something that constrains where the player is (even something as simple as "oh this particular rat is super dangerous; don't touch it"). I quite like the graphical style here - it looks reasonably polished and has lots of nice touches, like the brief displays of cost or the little money signs next to the homes.
Yay, I finished the year with $190!
Nice little Pico-8 game, some cheap sound effects would have been great to give it more life, but great work, that was fun playing it!
Made it to the end of the year with 160$. Like others have said I think some simple sound effects would have really made the game pop
Super simple, but I found this game adorable nonetheless. I liked you theming it not only with the theme itself, but some humor about current events :)
Pretty fun and cute! I found I kept trying to tease off the wire early so I'd have to re-do the whole thing which was bruutal. Had a lot of fun, good job! :)
I like the idea and your interpretation of the Theme, especially in the Situation the world is in right now. Sound would have been nice.
Simple whack-a-mole concept, but fun for a round or two. The simple visuals work pretty well and I figured everything out almost immediately.
Nice arcade game :)! - Ended up with 445$ - like a lot that it has the arcade feeling where you look for small changes to know where to go next.
I really enjoyed playing it. Good entry!
Wow I had a lot to keep an eye on, but this was fun! Simple, yet challenging!
Really smart use of the theme and I loved the fact that there was some strategy involved in which breaks you should fix first based on your income stream. Nailed the authentic 8-bit presentation too.
That was aggressively old-school. Nice job :)
