Finding Space!A little puzzle about freeing hard drive space in your computer.
This is a short experience you can finish in 5-10 minutes. You use the UI to install or uninstall the correct software to fulfill your needs without running out of space on your hard drives. Tutorial/instructions in the game, but it should be pretty easy to figure out on your own if you skip them. I recommend going with the download instead of the HTML
Your needs and goal for the level are on the top left. Your hard drive space is in the top center. Flipping the switches installs the software/file, increasing your hard drive space but taking you closer to your target number
Extra Info for those interested:
A couple of weeks before the compo I decided to switch to Godot but I'm a slow learner so here we are. I got some basic concepts down though, and thought I can make a basic little puzzle out of them. I had to cut out a lot of ideas to make it in time so I'll write some of them here in case it tickles your fancy :)
-Random Life events: each turn something happens that effects the proportion of your 3 needs
-Having a timer to add more tension to the puzzle solving
-economy and tech-tree for upgrading your hard drive
-clicker mini-game to get money for the upgrades
-2 more chapters for different life stages. One where you go through a breakup/divorce and one where you're retired
-Getting hacked
