The game looks really nice, and I love the dialogue! The music is super fun and everything was explained concisely and easily in the intro cutscene, although I think it would be made even better with more things to as you progress further and further. It's a great start and I hope you do more with it!
Thank you for your awesome feedback, I'm really glad that I was able to work with an amazing artist and and amazing sound designer!
It would also be great if you could rate this game; there was an antivirus issue at the start of the rating period which caused us to miss out on some of the most important rating days.
Cute little game, I like the premise and the aesthetic. Isometric is always fun to see! I wish there was a little more depth to the gameplay, or new wrenches that get thrown into the mix to add to your decision-making process, but that is all stuff that can be added with time.
In terms of era-feel, the art and especially the music didn't really feel very 90s-y to me, a little too high fidelity (maybe 90's era CD-ROM game for the music I suppose).
Overall it's a nice entry though! Hope it gets more ratings like it deserves
Thank you! I had originally planned for the sleep phase to have a whole other layer of gameplay, involving dream-creatures and mops, but unfortunately some unexpected issues occurred, and we ran out of time.
Hey. I actually wrote the music/sfx. I totally get where you're coming from. I only had about 8 hours to do everything on my end. Perhaps I should have a sound library dedicated to retro sounds. Thanks for the feedback.
I actually really liked the music and SFX, don't get me wrong! But didn't get into that low-fi 90s retro space is all. Good work on the jam :)
What a fun representation of incompetent management! It took me until my second try to realize that walking and fixing servers was filling my sleep gauge. I thought it was just on a timer at first (which felt unfair, since that would mean you would inevitably lose every time at the same time.) Eventually got a score of 2480. Got easier when I realized (though probably unintentional) that you could fix multiple servers at the same time. Good work!
Thank you for your kind words and helpful feedback! I've updated the description to help explain how the sleep bar works.
i didnt download it, but the presentation on the webpage is excellent
Thank you, Derrick!
