Stuck in a bunker deep underground, you as the OPERATOR have been tasked with controlling a remote rover on a research mission. Plan your moves carefully as commands can only reach the rover every 10 seconds.
Love the sound design and the crunchy graphics! This game is so stylish! The concept is really cool too, I love typing in commands. Takes a while to get into but I really enjoy it
Liked the retro feel of the game from the terminal and CRT effects. A little difficult to get started, but worth the effort to learn. Stacking commands was very fulfilling experience. Nice atmosphere with background chatter. Also each command taking 10 seconds to execute with drone was unique take on theme. Good job.
Very original idea! Simple and effective graphics complemented by great sound to create a very immersive mood! Really nice game!

At first I was like: "A Duskers clone on the Jam?". But no, you've clearly made it your thing! One of the best games I played so far, everything just clicks together. Paradoxically, the only grating thing is that the 10-second wait time is a bit too long for this mechanic, but at least it teaches you to queue up your commands.
Also, the ATC conversations in Polish as the background chatter cracked me up a little :).
@mrbamboo holy moley how did you manage to find this path?! :sweat_smile: Now I have to see if I can find a way to optimize it even more (I think I might be able to shave off a few steps after the final scan)
Very solid and engaging game. I felt satisfied when I completed it. I love the visual design in general. The "ambient" gets a little bit repetetive after a while. There are also a couple of improvements that coudl be done to the UI (i.e. overlowing command window).
Super well polished game. Very creative take on theme. Adore the visuals and sounds that really set the atmosphere. Makes me feel like a NASA scientist. I wish the popup remembered where you dragged them to. Also a nice addition might be to have them bottom buttons have hotkeys associated with them so you could quick toggle. I had a great time playing your game and looking at all the little details. Fantastic job!
@simex As you can see ... I played ... A LOT TO YOUR GAME ! It's awesome for real.
To be honest I played at lease 50 games to optimize my moves but the start is better than the end. Because to optimize the end you should basically replay the hole game haha.

Best jam game and also best laugh I've ever had playing in a while.
