Babysitting a dying PC has no right to be this much fun! The constant interruptions turn it into a hilarious juggling act, and the little desktop details give it so much personality.
Really creepy atmosphere! You did a great job creating that constant feeling that something is about to happen. Even the quiet moments feel unsettling!
Interesting idea! A clearer score display would help. I think it would be more engaging if I had to beat the alienās score as well as land within the target range. Quite often, my first roll was already within the range, so an extra challenge would give me more reason to use the hammer.
Finished the whole game! I really liked the mechanics. Switching from floating to dashing took some getting used to, but I got the hang of it eventually. Thanks for the game!
Great old-school arcade atmosphere! I wish I could exchange the tickets I earned for prizes at the counter. Those prizes could also add progression between runs, like extra tokens for the next run or ticket multipliers for specific minigames. That would give me a reason to keep coming back!
Beautiful presentation and interesting levels! The tutorial felt a little repetitive at the beginning, though. I would have liked to move on to new challenges a bit sooner.
I played for around 20 minutes. I understand that search timers are part of the gameplay, but waiting for each progress bar made the pace feel slow. Iād have preferred shorter searches. Upgrades also felt expensive. Making the first few upgrades in the skill tree cheaper would help me feel a sense of progress sooner and make the early game more rewarding. screen_extraction.png
I liked the graphics and music, and the controls felt responsive! The first level was quite tough for me, thoughāI tried five times and still couldnāt beat it. A more forgiving opening would have helped me get used to the mechanics.
Exploring an abandoned social network is an intriguing concept! Unfortunately, some buttons didnāt respond when I clicked them, and I initially thought the game had frozen. Thanks for the game!
I played solo and enjoyed the Sokoban-style puzzles! I got stuck on level 4, though. The movement took a little getting used to because of the 45-degree camera angle.
A great Sokoban game! I finished all 10 levels and really enjoyed it. The retro operating system setting and defragmentation concept fit the Old Tech theme perfectly. Nice work!
I played solo, and it's impressive how much you managed to build during the jam! I explored for a while before noticing the tutorial checklist in the top-left corner. Then I struggled to find the pickaxe before realizing it was highlighted š Figuring out how to mine my first block and where to take it also took some time. A little more step-by-step guidance at the beginning would have helped me a lot. I'll definitely give it another go with friends!
Interesting idea, especially having the slimes use your abandoned turrets against you! However, the wait before moving to the next area felt too long. I couldn't tell when the āStart Engineā button would become availableāa progress bar or a clear indicator of what was still needed would help. I'd also appreciate 2Ć and 3Ć speed options to reduce the waiting. Being able to upgrade both the resource-gathering robots and the defensive units would be a nice addition too!
It felt a bit slow at first, but upgrading the claw made the game more enjoyable! I'd have liked faster progression and a higher density of buried tech. Having more things to collect would make deeper drops more exciting and rewarding. As it is, I can't see what's farther down, so I don't feel much incentive to send the claw deeper.
I found the crafting system interesting! Having recipes to work toward made the scavenging feel more purposeful. One thing that confused me at first was the recipe list on the right (see screenshot). I didn't realize I could drag it up and down to scroll through the recipes. I kept clicking the entries, and nothing seemed to happen. A visible scrollbar or a small ādrag to scrollā hint would have helped me understand the interface sooner.
I found the collection mechanic interesting and really liked the distinctive visual style! It was quite difficult for me, though: after three attempts, my best score was only 163. I would have kept playing longer if the opening rounds were easier and the difficulty increased more gradually. That would give me more time to learn the mechanics before the challenge ramps up.
An original idea with some great dark humor! I enjoyed the concept, though the controls felt a bit awkwardāthe item physics sometimes got in the way of what I was trying to do. Also, I accidentally poured some of the āproductā into the coin jar while I was figuring out the controls š
A fun idea for an incremental game! The early game felt slow, though. Faster deliveries or getting access to more pigeons sooner would help things pick up momentum. Hatching eggs also required a lot of clicking; fewer clicks would make that part feel less repetitive. My first run ended after only two deliveries, with three pigeons dying on missions. My second attempt went better, but I still only managed to deliver six letters before losing again (see screenshot). Losing pigeons felt frustrating. I'd find it more interesting if they stayed alive and I could later sell the ones with weaker stats to free up space. That would give me more control over which pigeons to keep and how my flock develops.
This brought back some lovely Tamagotchi memories! I liked the idea of caring for Moonpet in a room full of old technology. A great fit for the theme and a nice trip back to the early 2000s.
A fun concept and a perfect fit for the theme! I liked the idea of controlling the world through VHS playback controls, though they took some getting used to. The core mechanic is a clever way to play with the theme.
A chill restoration experience with an interesting take on the theme. I liked the idea of using traditional techniques to bring old paintings back to life.
I really enjoyed this! It reminded me of Sprunki, and turning old hard drives, floppy drives, modems and monitors into the performers was a fun idea. The audio was the highlight for meāI loved how the different parts sounded together. Great work!
The soundtrack is fantastic, and I had a lot of fun! On Normal difficulty, I struggled to stay on beat while keeping track of all the combinations, my HP and armor, and the enemy's HP. It felt like a lot to process at once. I switched to Easy, where I didn't have to worry about rhythm timing, and really enjoyed playing through to the end. screen.png
I enjoyed the hands-on crafting process! The game feels well made, with a great atmosphere, fitting sound effects and an excellent connection to Old Tech. I completed two orders, earning 18 and 12 coins. I would have appreciated a guided first order to walk me through the whole process. For anyone getting started, here's how I made a sword: 1. Find the recipe book on a table to the right of the window. 2. Put an ingot in the forge and use the bellows a couple of times. 3. Move the heated ingot to the anvil, pick up the hammer and click a few times to forge the blade. 4. Cool the blade in the water basin in the corner. 5. Bring it to the table with the recipe book. Collect a guard and a handle from the boxes, bring them over and assemble the weapon. 6. Sharpen the sword on the grindstone to the left of the assembly workbench.
The start felt unclear. I had to spend a long time near the tents getting upgrades, and my starting rocks seemed ineffective against mammoths. Food ran out before I could bring one down. Faster early upgrades or a smaller, weaker mammoth to hunt first would help players get into the game. The berry bushes also looked like something I could gather from; a small food supply from them could give beginners more breathing room. I'd prefer mouse aiming and left-click throwing, with weapons flying toward the cursor. Dodging mammoths, retrieving weapons and aiming another throw could make the hunting more engaging.
I wanted more room to experiment with the construction system, but the early difficulty made that hard. After six attempts, I still couldn't reach 1 MFLOPS. Fewer enemies and less frequent enemy fire during the first three levels would have helped me learn the game and try different builds. The intro also felt too long and text-heavy. More building options and a gentler start would have made the game more enjoyable for me.
The opening was amusing! I would have loved more interaction with desktop icons and windows, as the platforming felt a little disconnected from the computer setting. Unfortunately, I got stuck in the green ASCII level and couldn't progress any further. I couldn't make the jump from the small central platform onto the tall platform to its right (see screenshot). Did I miss a mechanic, or could there be an issue with that jump? screen.png
