The end is inevitable. Fend off enemies and make sure the data gets uploaded.

You have limited power. Every actions costs some power. The game ends when you run out of power or when an enemy attacks you.

Bugs Fixed

- Fixed a crash on opening settings menu
- Fixed node repair cost text
- Fixed Quit button on Game Over/Out of power overlay
- The yellow attack line now passes through power drops

I enjoyed your turn based strategy take on the theme. The rules were relatively easy to figure out, and the goals clear. The visual cues showing potential moves were a nice touch as well. I think I met diminishing returns trying to collect the energy pickups, so increasing their worth might give the player more incentive to move around the board. However, I managed to upload all the data! Pretty fun concept, nice job!

Interesting!

Really love this game and concept. The UI and visualization is really exceptional, binding the two actions to the mouse buttons makes it feel natural to move around and execute commands. I managed to upload all data on my second try.

Almost forgot to go to work because I was addicted to playing this. Great game with intresting turn-based combat!

Pretty solid game! It kinda reminds me of Into The Breach (made by FTL devs). You can really make this into a bigger game, I think you've got something good here!
My only feedback is about the ending of the game, I got 100% Upload but still got a "Game Over" screen. I get what you're going for here. But perhaps the player should still be "Victorious" and rewarded, while the Unit/pilot dies on the battlefield at the end?

@drumgadget-433 Thank you very much for the feedback. I'll look into balancing out the pickups for the post-jam version.

@zuick @klianc09 @pabricka Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

@skylark721 Yes, Into The Breach was an inspiration :smile:. I see your point about the ending, I'll try to come up with something better for the post-jam version

Enjoyed playing this. The idea as well as execution is really good. It just needs some scoring system so continuing playing after data upload is done makes sense

This is a good game! Not too simple, not too hard. I enjoyed playing this one. Good job!

The game is clear (kudos for the detailed tutorial) and the mechanics are solid !

The sound effects are pretty good and since this is a jam game you could have added some royalty free music, music is always a great addition to a game.

The graphics are simple and functional, however maybe something a little less clean but more personal could have given a bit more character to the game.

While playing I felt like something was missing but I still can't figure exactly what. Maybe a bit more personality or craziness (more bombastic effects perhaps ?). Well that's just my personal appreciation though, I like when I can sense the creator(s) behind a game.

Anyway the game works well, it's pretty polished and you had time to fit in quite a lot (such as the helpful tutorial and UI), good job !

Really fun concept! I barely won but it was satisfying. Capture.PNG

I'd like to see something on victory- either you can up your percentage even higher for a highscore, or you get some sort of "You win!" screen.

Just saw: you have to run out of power for it to give you a "win" or lose note.
A bit of an extra note, on the web version the "Quit" button remains, but doesn't do anything.

Nicely done! Overall, with a little skinning and some UI polish this game has a lot of potential. I did get slightly confused at how to repair the terminals (I definitely shot the first one I tried to fix XD ).

The way it's set up now, you can never really get ahead of the enemies - It would be cool to see some additional actions you can take (i.e. some special moves) to help change the balance. But overall, it was intuitive and a pleasant experience.

Cool game, solid gameplay :) Perhaps changing the visuals the nodes to be "fixed" or "to be fixed" would really help know how you're getting along.

Solid mechanics and I liked it. I have a couple of suggestions:
1. It's not immediately clear that uploading data successfully does not mean winning. Besides, keeping on playing the game after the objective is fulfilled is kind of pointless. So perhaps the game can end when the data upload is successful.
2. I found a way to fool the enemy AI. I can block the path of the enemy that is the closest to the only node left by leaving an energy crate between said enemy and the node. In that case the other enemies would not move and the blocked enemy won't seek for another path.

Very clever puzzle game, i really enjoyed playing it! At some point pretty challenging but it's very fair.
