How does your game fit the theme?
We are an engineer who must monitor the characteristics of the generator and not let it stall, if one of the indicators drops significantly, then the generator turns off and stops supplying light to the room, and then something terrible happens, there is also a light bulb in the room into which the generator supplies electricity. In addition, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the light bulb and prevent it from bursting, otherwise the light bulb will also go out and the player will lose in the dark.
To start the game - click on the big red button on the engine.
Screwdriver - open the gasoline tank.
Canister - to replenish this gasoline.
Hammer - to restore the strength of the engine, it is enough to “knock” on it.
And the bulb can be replaced using the spare ones from the box.
Self-made stuff

Looks really nice. This atmosphere makes me spooky.
nice game! looks great and the audio was pretty nice too! the game does get kind of stressful, i get you want the difficulty to be higher, but it would be nice to get some rest in between. overall, nice job!!
our goal was for the game to be difficult
Nice little resource clicker game :-)!
First it looked very well and visually appealing!
Controls worked good. Maybe bit slow, but I read it was for the difficulty. It was indeed hard to keep track of all the things you need to do. Gave some stress but als satisfaction when you made it in time :-).
Some animations on the tools and some VFX could and would be a good benefit and bonus in a future update.
Audio fitted with the environment and mechanics.
Overall a solid fun good made jam entry! Keep it going!
really liked the vibes it will be nice if you make a full release
Excellent game! Nice atmosphere and concept.
I felt a bit rushed at times but that's just me being slow.
I liked the progressions too!
A lots of effort seems to have gone into this. Keep up the good work!
thx for feedback!
GREAT GAME!! I like the retro art style
thx for feedback!
Not a bad game! It would be nice if there was a little time for rest, since you have to constantly rush from the engine to the light bulbs and back. It would be cool if you diversified the gameplay a little, for example adding more things to repair. Good luck!
This was our goal, so that the player would not have time to rest in the last minutes, because the game should become more difficult
Beautiful and stressful game! Maybe a little difficulty curve would be a good idea, because I could play for sooo long before seiing that nothing was new and it wasn't getting harder!
The game is getting harder by the minute, are you playing to the end?
Ouuuh maybe I didnt play for long enough then! Going to try again
Very nice game! The atmosphere is pretty good as well as the graphics! My only feedback is that I think the tools would benefit a lot from having animations. Also, the sound effect when replacing the light bulb felt a little delayed.
thx for feedback!!!
I am just in love with psx style games and this one looks absolutely amazing, at first i didnt really understand what i needed to do but in my second try it became clear what i had to do and i must say this game is really stessfull haha (in a good way). The gameplay kind of reminds me of fnaf games where you constantly have to pay attention to multiple things and i think its executed wonderfully here. It also both fits the zero ui and the light and dark theme perfectly. So overall this game is executed very well for this jam including really good visuals, engaging gameplay and sticking to the theme very well, amazing game! (I just realized both mine and your game end in the exact same way lmao)
The visuals are literally the best here, the game gives this scary vibes, solid submission ! keep up the good work!
Like this! I found it kinda hard without the instructions, but I don't think that's a problem. Good game
I think the core mechanics for this game are solid and I really like the artstyle, however I don't think theres enough outside of the simple resource management systems in place. I also think the game would've benefitted from having some sort of animations when using the tools, even a simple swing. I think if given more time, this game could be something. As a proof of concept and also GameJam submission though, this is still an excellent entry!
thx for feedback, but maybe you forgot to save rating?
I might have misunderstood what you meant but if you were asking if I'd rated, unfortunately I can't as I'm not the producer of our group.
I like the art style and the idea of the game! A tiny bit more movement speed would be great and it was pretty hard for me because my mouse sensitivity was pretty low. Good job altough!
Thx for feedback, the walking speed is specially made slow so that the game is more difficult, unfortunately we could not add sensitivity settings because this is considered a UI, try changing your DPI during the game
Very good atmosphere, when I first played I was able to figure out the game even without reading the instructions (except for the hammer), so the zero ui aspect is very good. I think there is a bug where if you die you cant restart the engine, so you have to restart the game.
thx for feedback! I didn't quite understand you correctly, when the generator turns off, then literally after 5 seconds the player starts breathing quickly and the screen goes dark and the game restarts itself at first, there is no bug there! What do you mean?
After the screen goes dark it restarted for me and i could not start the engine anymore. Am i the only one that has this bug? Its ok though i just restarted the program when I died.
I hadn't read the instructions so it took me a minute to figure out how to play. I enjoy these types of graphics a lot and the ramping difficulty too. This game reminds me of 'The Other Side' from 'Unsorted horror'. I liked it :)
thx, yeah we were inspired by this game!
maybe you forgot to save the rating?
Fair question, for some reason I can't leave ratings. But my groupmate can, so I'll leave one trough him!
I like game, is good! Very nice!
spooky atmosphere, nice graphics. is there a way to speed up the mouse sensitivity?
Sorry, but there are no settings in the game, because this is considered a UI unfortunately, I recommend changing the DPI for the period of the game if there are difficulties
thank you for the suggestion!
INSTRUCTION TO PLAY:
Please help, when i try to open machine using Screwdriver , it give me error sound , when i try to put the light bulb , it also give me error sound
You need to start engine bro, red button on engine!
Ok , sorry for interrupting
How can i use the hammer?
Hammer using to repair engine, just take it and click on a top of engine
some feedback after all?
It took a while at first to understand the mechanics of the game , but after understanding them , The game is great , at first i felt like this game is very easy but after the clock ticking , it becomes very hard , Great work
thx man, i am really appreciate it!
