I'm sorry, I couldn't figure this one out. I got a canister of fuel but couldn't figure out what to do with it.
Also, requiring the num pad isn't a great idea as some people don't have an easily-accessible num pad (if they have one at all).
Hey, no worries, thanks for playing! Once you've collected a new barrel you interact with the Slime Collection Station again (with the valve attached) and it'll place the barrel. Then you spin the valve shut and it'll start collecting again.
Thanks for the feedback about the numpad, you're right I hadn't considered laptops and things, it just mapped nicely with the analogue-style machines we were building, but will make sure I add secondary options for the numbers across the top in future projects
Actually very good game, shame not all the assets could be completed but I played through and killed the slime creature
Thanks so much for playing all the way through! Yeah could've used another month to get everything finished haha. Might go back and finish it up at some point in future
Very fun and original mechanics! I understand that day one is slow and calm, but I feel that it lacked a little more difficulty for the following days. I also forgot that I had to end the turn, causing me to die by mistake a couple of times. I really liked the controls and the news and emails are certainly fun and made me laugh several times.
I had a small recurring bug, occasionally when I left the machines the mouse would change and be visible. It also happened to me once after dying but the other way around, the mouse remained hidden and I had to close the game to exit.
But I really had a lot of fun with this one.
Thanks so much for playing, and for the great feedback! You're not the only one who has forgotten to clock out, really should've prioritised creating a prompt when the quota had been reached. Lesson learned.
Sorry about the cursor bug, I did have issues occasionally where it would refuse to "enter" a machine but never had that cursor bug you're talking about. Perhaps they're linked, will look into it and see if I can solve it for peace of mind, thanks for mentioning it!
I think the walls of text at the terminal can be intimidating when just starting the game, but after I got the hang of the controls the little chores I had to do became pretty engaging. I lost on the first day a couple times without knowing why until I remembered that I was required to clock out, so I think some pop up text reminding you to clock out once you get the slime requirement on the first day could be an improvement. Ramping up the complexity of the tasks required to progress with each day was done super well. I was expecting some more from the ending though, I was a bit disappointed when I didn't get the big scare I was hoping for from completing the game. Great job overall though, very engaging gameplay loop and tense environment that benefitted a lot from the music and sound effects.
Thanks for playing and for the really useful feedback!
Great idea on the clock-out reminder, hadn't thought to tie it in to meeting the slime collection quota.
Yeah we ran out of time re: endings. We were overscoped as it was and just wanted to make it playable through to the end. Appreciate you playing all the way through!
Very interesting, was a bit "scared" at first with all the text but it wasn't as much as it seemed haha.
Tried it first on my laptop but couldn't do anything as it doesn't have a numpad :(
But I found a keyboard and played it! Really liked the game, felt very balanced and the gameplay was fun, and I liked the control scheme! Would love to see a more fleshed out version of this! :)
Good job!
Thanks for playing! Yeah I did worry there was too much text, didn't want anyone confused about how to play it, but I've maybe made it seem more complicated than it is haha.
I can't get to second day yet)) But giant beholder is awesome as well as a story.
Thanks for playing!
