I like the idea of arranging people in a limited countdown and the color and artworks; however, the movements are a little bit awkward, especially when they are body-blocking each other, making the timer especially unforgiving ToT. But it was a really fun experience!
Oh my god, this is such a creative take of the theme! You successfully integrated the "countdown" mechanism into every action of the game, from moving to fighting and even changing the soldiers' compositions based on the step. The atmosphere was built really well; it made my heart skip beats continuously while running in the labyrinth. I really enjoyed this game!
A creative idea with a nice story and gameplay. I didn't know how to play at first, but then I understood it and really enjoyed managing the cards and calculating the moves. Overall, a potential game!
I really like the artstyle of this game, a mixture of linearts and popping colors did great on building the atmosphere. The game conveys a story about the past, future, and present - the counting down of the cigarettes was a clever implementation of the theme.
Thank you for your compliment! I meddled with some SFX to mix together the ambience; I'm glad you like it. Stay tuned for more characters and a deeper story in the expanded version!
We meant to make a short 3-day gameplay, but after reconsidering it, it was compressed into one day. There are still space for further development, so that’s why the ending feels a little bit sudden.
Thank you so much for your comment. May happiness be with you ☺️
Thank you so much for all the compliments. Thank you for your patience with all of the technical issues the game has ToT
It’s touching to hear that our story have resonated with you. Just for clarification, there are many kinds of “countdowns” of the battery: the countdown screen after every guest, and the hidden “cost” of each guests’ dialogues. We plan to expand the story further, and the “KPI”, like you said, is a sterile but necessary part for the plot.
Some “correct” decisions do not seem to cost more on the surface, but when you adds up the decreases, they does cost more to make. Thank you so much for the recommendations.
As the artist , main writer and ambience sound mixer of this project, your comment definitely made my day.
Nice incorporation of the theme in the decreasing resources. However, the resource number at the lower left doesn't seem to help much with the story/gameplay's process. The experience was enjoyable.
There seems to be a bug after wave 14, when there are three enemies left, the aliens stop spawning.
The game nicely captured the stressful feeling when the clock is ticking down. I really like the feeling and the atmosphere it creates, and the increasing difficulty across levels was cleverly designed.
I went into this game blind and was surprised by the rewind mechanism and bullet-catching action; such a nice take on the theme and interesting mechanism. I like the pixel art and the out-of-time punishment, but a bit sad when I realized I couldn't jump over most of the enemies.
