Great graphics, loved them ! The game was nice, simple to understand and fun. Congrats !

This looks really nice, all the components fit together perfectly! I did feel the level was a bit to big and the enemies a bit to many a bit to quick - made me feel it wasn't so much about skill as luck to where the enemies spawned and how many.

I liked the explanations in the dialogue, it was very easy to understand and start playing the game, it really looks well thought-through during development. Final verdict: very very nice! :D

Really nice game, very stressful and intense.

I had a lot of fun with this beautifully constructed game.
I liked the fact that you always felt like you had a chance, as long as you kept the burglars away.
Though, after about 5 minutes, i could no longer use electrocution to kill them, and i couldn't see any explanation as to why.
Loved the steampunk vibe, and the sens eof urgency and planning involved.

Thanks

this is great! love the unique idea and execution-- the controls felt good and the pixel art is great. 

Early on playing this, i thought different reality-breaking effects were tied to specific machines and was trying to find the one that 'broke WASD' and fix it, lol. As i kept playing, realized that any of the reality altering effects seemed to be able to happen any time a machine broke and just focused on keeping the two machines closest to the bottom intact.

Developer

thanks, glad you enjoyed it! good idea that each machine has it’s own effect, we didn’t think of that at all! this would also make the player go and repair the machines elsewhere.
