I like the game mechanic, but could be a little more complex. It'd be interesting if more events occurred, or if the two robot things move around in different ways. It would also be good to see progressively more difficult levels. I like your pixel art for the people and the machines.
@Sharkxx Yeah, it's potentially a bit obscure! Basically the game is about how the the worlds of the boss and the workers are connected. Without the cooperation of the workers the boss doesn't make any money. Wealthy people are only wealthy because we let them be.
@sftrabbit All great suggestions, and some of that was originally meant to happen but alas time was not on my side!
cool concept, gj with the graphics. didn't manage to fix all the machines at once
I really liked it. Tho, at first I didn't noticed that machines stopped and was a bit confused. Also, that movement speed... Almost stopped playing when I realized I'll have to go to another side of the room :) But I did it! Lovely art.
I like the graphics, the idea, the wide screen. It took me some time to realize where was the player.
Thanks all for the compliments and feedback
@mess110 I'm pretty sure it's impossible to disable all the machines at once but it doesn't matter anyway. Even if there's some still running his costs mean you'll soon bankrupt the boss anyway!
I really like the graphics and music of the game, they create a good atmosphere, however the game play is repetitive and a little too easy. Averages out as a three from me.
Graphics are astonishing. Took me a while to understand what I should do :D
The game is innovative in the concept, and I also enjoy the pixel art and vivid bgm in it. However, the gameplay seems a bit less various.
Good concept but could be randomized for extra fun! Enjoyed it! Nice graphics!
Once I figured out how to play, the game was quite easy. I just walked behind the fixing drone from left to right and then back.
I like the atmosphere, maybe it could be improved by turning down the background noise whenever you shut down a machine. And maybe emphasize the difference between the boss's world and yours. Some dripping water or something like that, just too make life feel miserable. :D
Anyways, good job!
Nice work. Lovely clean look and a simple but satisfying mechanic in the service of a strong message. I really liked it.
HACK THE SYSTEM ah pants, caught. Nice simple pixel art style, the guy moves hilariously slowly :P But the gameplay's simple enough and easy to understand once it gets going.
Nice graphics! Moody music! But the gameplay a bit too simple :) Well done!
Really nice game. I can clearly see the connection to the theme and I have to say that I love it. Really cool graphics and sound design.
Very stylish graphics and audio in a game that has not a very subtle message :D Gameplay is a bit bland maybe, but the mood makes it worthwhile to experience.
Nice looking game. I love long format!
gameplay is little simple, not really infiltration, not really action... it could be a part of an adventure game...
Nice littel game. It makes fun to play. Thank you for your game.
Really liked the gritty mood, graphics remind me of Beneath A Steel Sky Era adventure games.

MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Well done but i cant find the connection to the Theme
