i didnt really understand the part involving steam and getting new parts, however i did what the robots told me to do, will i get spaired by skynet ? o_O

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! That's something I'll definitely have to add in the tutorial.

And you bet you will :D

Good work, It did take me a bit to figure out what to do, and sometimes when i clicked the robots when i had the correct parts, nothing happened?....

Developer

Thanks! A tutorial is something I'm going to work on next after the jam, just to really complete the game. I'm gonna have to check that out, haven't seen that bug yet. Did you have enough number of parts?

Ooo I love the art so much, these robots are so cute an personality filled! amazing work.

Gameplay was a bit confusing at first, but I figured it out pretty quickly, 
Tho I was terrible at reading the news. so I just grabbed parts when I was out of a specific one and that worked well enough.

In a full game I think the hectic building and selling could work on its own without balancing getting resources at the same time, might be nice if during the day you build/sell, during the night you grave rob hehe. Just a fun thought. obviously out of scope for a jam, this was a great middle ground for time and content. Great work

The game does get a bit repetitive after day 3 or so, I will be honest and say I did kind of quit when I hit a "Okay I get it" mentality. Maybe if their was money to just seem as a score? What probably didnt help was the music stopped looping.

Really awesome entry!

Thank you for your feedback! I had plans to do a bit more polish but scrapped them when I saw the time ticking. I'll keep your ideas in mind if I decide to expand this into something more solid :D

And I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

I'll have to check why the music stopped, I feel like I missed a checkbox lol

Nice and super original use of the limitation! Plus I haven't played theses kind of games in a long time. The last one I played I needed to serve hot dogs ahah. The art isn't wonderful but you did something pretty well, everything is cohesive. And that my friend, is something I really like! You have yourself a wonderful and funny game to play, you can be proud!!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah I wanted to make something new for me so I avoided making a platformer or top down game. I'm glad you enjoyed playing it!
