This is a really great take on the theme! Great sound design, definitely got stressed when my human was in danger. I think it would have been nice to have more guidance at the beginning on where to go for different problems, but really well executed overall
This was such a cool concept to play!! I really liked having the directions pop up as you approach an item. It was helpful without being overwhelming and in your face. It would be cool to have additional levels where you have more than one human to take care of or you can improve the ship. Great work!
Wow! Such a cute game with easy to understand mechanics but still panic inducing when things go wrong! Loved the visuals and the sound really heightened the stress. Really fleshed out, I had a great time running around. I also liked how the batteries upgraded your run speed but also too up an inventory slot. Really fun game, great job!
So panic and so nice! But for me the game window is a bit small, it would be great to have a full screen mode
Really cool game, managed to have my human survive, I liked that you could collect batteries, and read through disks while nothing was going on, made for a pretty fun addition
Terrific game! Great visuals and nice sounds. There was a slight learning curve, but overall struck a nice balance of pacing and stress. Good Job!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Nice small game. At first I panicked, but could understand all mechanics fast and, well, nothing went wrong in first try.
Thank you so much for playing! Glad you made it. 😊
very nice game
Thank you so much for taking the time to play!
This is incredible with how nice and clicky this micro manager is. I cannot believe this was 1 person in 1 week. A really jucy game ♥️
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words! It was a long week for sure 😅
nice game,nice Art
Thank you for your kind review! Most of the art is by Mucho Pixels (https://www.muchopixels.com/) and the robot is by David Harrington (https://opengameart.org/content/pixel-robot).
The art style is great, i lobe how polished the game in general is. Great job! I think this robot needs to automate this ship, manually scooping poop, lol. Overall, pretty stressful but in a good way :)
Thank you for your kind review! I'm glad you enjoyed playing!
What a panic inducing game (well done!)
Thank you for playing! I hope it was "good panic" 😅
Nice game, everything worked really well. Simple but effective. Good job!
Thank you for playing, Mondee!
I personally love Barotrauma, and this game reminds me of it fully, really great job i was panicking trying to figure out were everything is
Thank you for playing! I haven't played Barotrauma, but it looks great! Will check it out for sure.
5 stars all around, what a great experience. That stressed me tf out. Everything fit well together. There's a lot of different systems here that are working together really well. Really well done for the time constraints.
Thank you for the kind review, and for taking the time to play!
Very simple, but well executed! The use of the theme was pretty good as well. I do wish a little more was done with the concept, but this is a solid entry.
Thank you so much for playing! I may revisit this to expand it later on, it was a lot of fun to work on.
took a few tries to understand what to do, but when i got it, it was really fun! i like having 3 batteries and sprinting around
I'm glad you found all the batteries! 3 battery sprinting is the only way to go. Thank you for playing!
Nice visual, I liked that I had to pick up things and deal with them, I am still not sure what to do, I wish I had a small tutorial phase with increase difficulty.
One note on the audio: it was a bit loud, but besides that I enjoyed it!
Thank you for playing! The audio is definitely too loud, I need to control the volume and add a slider for it, too
nice visuals, cool game play, great fit to the theme, hope to see more
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing!
Hard and stressful but very rewarding! I enjoyed it! Great job!
Thank you so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed it despite stress! 😅
