Make sure you read the rules, the game is hard to understand without a tutorial! (Don't worry, we've got images *and* videos to help you out)



First Ludum Dare, the game's got a lot of bugs that I know and don't know of. Please be sure to report any bugs you find! Thanks!

How to play the game:


You play as Captain Tamre, trying to survive as long as you can on your space ship before the power runs out. (Control him using the "WASD" keys)

As the Captain you get to control robots.
Each robot has a battery, when it dies the robot dies

On you right is your system power bar,

You can left-click it to get a battery charge robots with (by right-clicking on them)!

Robots can be sent to work stations by left-clicking on the robot and right-clicking on the station (Stations light up green when hovered above while robots light up when selected).

Robots give an icon from time to time. A robot will only do a task matching this icon (For example, an engine icon means a robots will only work on the engine);

If a robot with the matching icon is standing at its station, the station will charge up.

If you want to change the icon to the station the robot is currently at (To keep it charging) you can use the screwdriver (bottom left!) to play a minigame and convince the robot (To win the minigame click the red squares to make all of them green and dont hover your mouse above the light gray walls).

This game gets harder the more a robot works. To reset a robot's minigame difficulty, you must send it to an entertainment station. The room is split into 2 sides, the left are the entertainment stations. (Entertainment stations in red, work stations in blue).

An entertainment station does not generate power, it simply resets the convincing minigame difficulty and makes the robots speedier

Well, you got to the end (That's surprising in this day and age) congrats! Now go play the game!
