Very charming! The visuals are fantastic. It is really impressive how you threw all this together!

Developer

Thank you so much!!!! I feel like visuals are one of my biggest weaknesses, so that means a lot :D It's really magical what can be done in a few days with enough time and focus 🥳

Such a cool idea for a game! Love the writing and all the little references throughout! The use of playing cards to form an upgradeable event deck is neat especially linking it to all the cool minigames. I really like the idea of energy being this driving force for the game and a resource that you have to manage throughout your engineer's lifespan and possibly beyond lol Very much looking forward to the full version. Awesome work!

Thank you so much for saying so! I really appreciate that :D I've always loved when games reuse things, and to just have people use that deck of cards for everything was super fun to figure out.

Your comment was fantastic to read, thank you :D

I did not play your game, but it does look interesting. I can see a ton of potential. I love the humor. This is absolutely a game I would play every day for two weeks. I am impressed with how much you were able to get done in three days.

Developer

Thank you so much! And that's high praise for sure, both how much was done in the time and that you could see playing it so much! I hope I can make the final result even better :D

Oooo a deck builder and sequel to Their Shadows Slumber? I'm in! Cursory glance, and I'm immediately invested in the story. And even for not being a complete version of the game, what you have here is a marvelous start!

Also Ludicrous Speed. I see your Spaceballs reference and I for one appreciate it~

Developer

Oh wow lol the LUDICROUS SPEED was buried in the random events, thanks for reading it so thoroughly! YES, I plan to add lots more sci-fi references. The one sadness I have is that I didn't get to squeeze a lot more of that in there.

And thanks so much for your kind words! 🥳
