Love the idea of someone giving orders and trying to achive your goal, good job

The bossy AI is a great addition! Would love to see more of this!

Feel I've played something like this before. Manged 246 seconds first try. Yay me? Micromanaging is fun, at times =)

Developer

Thank you for playing! Hope you had fun!

The games seems very interesting about energy managment, but I just don't understand what I am supposed to do, we have to run to each computers to refill their batteries ? The ennemy counter just stay at 0 and after 4 minutes it goes to 12 and game is lost.

I'll rate the game later when I understand it ! :)

Sorry for the confusion! I've updated the game description to more clearly state the goal. Though I should probably make that more clear through the gameplay!

Thanks for giving it a play, and I hope you have fun! I really appreciate your feedback!

Thank you I understand better just knowing that the Hull is the most critical point ! Continue making games like this :)

I hope you enjoyed! Thank you for the feedback! :)

Nice idea and art, too bad there isn't sound, also I would prefer if you can jump a little higher, some places I couldn't reach, maybe it's just me, don't know, anyway great work.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! The map was changed quite a bit throughout, so it probably could be improved quite a bit with more play testing. Definitely something I'd look into for an improved version!

Thanks for playing!

Cool game you created there! Next time don't forget music and sounds it makes the player experience alot better!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! and you're right, it would be better with sounds. Lesson learnt for next time! I might come back and polish this one if given the chance.

Thank you for the feedback!

Such a fun and cute little game. Good job all around!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked it :)

At first i thought i got stuck in the rooom because the door power was 0 but after trying some things i noticed i could use also power things on my own. I don’t think you need to change anything here tough as players can figure this out by themselves.

After playing for a while i got a game over message at the top of the screen but it didn’t change anything on the gameplay as i could keep playing normally. I assumed you just didn’t have time to implement it properly.

Congrats on your game. I liked the idea and it can be fun as the things begin to get out of control and you have to think about all the resources, including walking to exercise lol.

Sorry about the confusion with the game over!

I appreciate all the feedback! I should make the locked doors more clearly interactable.

Hope you enjoyed! and thanks for playing :)

I like the interpretation as someone controlling you, besides the lots of things you have to keep under control. It's quite glitchy, and for me it got boring quite fast, but it could be a really nice game without the time limitations of a jam

Developer

Hey, Ostrich Dog, thanks for playing! What glitches did you come across?

Submitted

Like green and red arrows overlay each other when you are powering something that is losing energy. At first I was thinking of the flickering arrows too, but I just realized that's actually part of the game :P

Developer

Ahh, admittedly the arrows are a bit frantic! They might be a bit too frantic... Definitely something I'd look into, if given more time!

Thanks for playing and your feedback, I really really appreciate it!
