Love the art and the sound effects. The game loop seems like it would work really well after a little bit of tweaking. Currently it was hard to see how much fuel the generator/canister etc had. I was also not feeling super invested as I could not tell quickly whether killing any of the enemies were actually increasing the fuel level. Maybe if the game loop and what's happening was communicated a little better this could be a really awesome game.

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback!

The elements show how much input and output they have (each container has a little ‘window’ where you can see the liquid level), but I understand that it is very subtle. I will add a popup with this and more informationwhen hovering (or clicking) over the element.

Regarding the enemies/fuel issue, it is briefly explained in the tutorial. I'll explain this in a more visual way, at a tutorial level, where you can see the mechanics clearly.

Fun game, looks and feels really nice, good use of sound effects and great music! I may have encountered a bug or unfinished feature, where my energy went to 0 on day 2, but nothing happened. So I played without refueling until night 7. There I wanted to see what happens if I stand at the edge and let the corpses take over. 

I enjoyed the game, and I'm definitely playing more, even if you don't expand it because it's kinda cosy! Like Doom in kindergarten!

Developer

I'm really glad you liked it!

Yeah, I rushed a bit for the submission and I didn't get to check certain aspects, I'll fix it and expand some more in the next few days.

I can't wait, this game will be one of my relax games!

I love the artwork and the story! It would be awesome if you expanded on this!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'll expand it, at least add a couple more enemies, more structures and be able to rebuild them during the day.
