It is me tomorrow at work after 3 days of sleep deprivation. 🐒 Very cute graphics!

Although the gameplay felt like you were always fighting a losing battle, I really enjoyed the graphics and music! A very polished experience. Also, that alarm sound can go away please.

Neat little game with very nice graphics!

fersyvanderzee 2021-10-04 20:32

Like it! The only thing you could improve is disabling the cursor from going out of the screen bounds. Good job!

Really liked the graphics, but the controls were extremely weird.

yumao 2021-10-06 12:12

This game has nice graphics and fits the theme very well. It would be better if the controls were more intuitive.

cavejohnson332 2021-10-06 19:31

@yumao Thank you and yes, we know the controls are not the best, but they were a design choice, we wanted them to mimic the panic and add somewhat of a frustration of a limited options (as you can only walk forward)

cavejohnson332 2021-10-06 19:32

@fersyvanderzee Thank you!)

cavejohnson332 2021-10-06 19:34

@goldenevolution Thanks!

I really liked your choice of music since it pushed this hasty feeling while trying to fix everything that broke. The graphics look and feel very good.

I totally understand your design choice of only allowing the player to move forward but I think it would be better if you get it to work so that it feels panicky but not unintuitive.

Maybe some variety of challenges would have made the game even a little bit better.

Over all I really liked this game. Well done :thumbsup_tone2:

cavejohnson332 2021-10-07 17:10

@tobias-kiehnlein Thank you!)

Great game. I like the graphics, but the controls are not intuitive. It was still fun to play

alextengu 2021-10-09 08:48

Neat game. Juicy graphics multiplied by short gamplay (can't become boring).

cavejohnson332 2021-10-09 16:54

@alextengu glad you like it!

Good balance of events, requiring you to make choices not only based on distance, but also your current stats. Good work. It would make sense to not only identify the stats with different colors, but also different symbols to help color blind players.

The controls remind me of top-down games like Torchlight on PC, so maybe that's why I had no problems with them.

For some reason, game plays exteamly slow in browser

cavejohnson332 2021-10-10 19:03

@ks-zealot thank you for playing! did not experience that, but my guess would be that it tries to load the music and ambient files for the first couple of seconds, so that may be it

ks-zealot 2021-10-10 19:05

(@cavejohnson332 could you build it for windows and upload somewhere?

puppetmaster 2021-10-12 19:32

Your game is also very cool, especially the main character. Congratulations on your contribution.

raffaello 2021-10-12 20:51

Very good graphics, but poor in mechanics. the instability is felt but not enough to excite me

sheol 2021-10-13 01:46

@ks-zealot I had the same issue too in chrome browser but opening it in Edge kinda worked for me! Hopefully that helps!!

For the game, I love the visuals! Having the color coded stuff and the highlights helped a lot! It took me a while to figure out the controls but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I like the idea and gameplay and I think it's pretty good! I also like the environment design and how you can hear the whirring of the machines as you get closer/see the animations of the things being fixed. Also nice camera shake :vv IMO, I think it'd be good if I had some sort of timer to know how long before rescue arrives. Overall execellent submission! I had fun :D

cavejohnson332 2021-10-13 15:28

@sheol glad to hear you liked the game! we thought about the timer, but decided against it, to keep the suspense, so it is a design choice)

itzemii 2021-10-16 19:43

Interesting game. Simple game idea. Great graphics. Fitting sound. Unfortunately, for me the controls did not work at all. Felt fiddly, I had lot of difficulties to opperate the machines as I had to get to the exact point. Maybe because I am used to and prefer controller over mouse and keyboard. I think I would have enjoyed and replayed a couple of times with controls fitting to my style.

theepsi 2021-10-17 15:42

I really like the graphics, the level design and how the game gives you feedback for the things you need to repair. For some reason now I want to do a game like "among us" with a set up similar to this one! hahaha. Nice work guys, the controllers are fine but personally I prefer just moving with WASD, even with that I had no difficulties to play. Of course it is just a personal opinion!

emaigualmc2-art 2021-10-17 23:40

I really liked the graphics! I found the controls and mechanics a bit difficult, especially when the character was floating in the air xD With those polished things it can be a good game!

cavejohnson332 2021-10-18 19:19

@theepsi Thank you so much! glad you liked the game!)

cavejohnson332 2021-10-18 19:19

@emaigualmc2-art LOL)

coolestdoggie 2021-10-21 12:19

Good work! It reminds me my game Cosmodoggie which is made for 46 LD "Keep it alive". And this game better for this theme, too. I like the art style. Congrats!

cavejohnson332 2021-10-21 17:28

@coolestdoggie thank you!)
