How does your game represent "Power"?
In this game you try to manage power in a physical way by turning devices on and off and try to stay alive. But also you have power over the whole crew as the AI, the player, and you can make them do anything as long as you get along with them.

Oh cool, Lua Love - tinkered with it for a bit, nice to see how much can really be done! 
Love the gameplay, feeling those Faster Than Light vibes. Lots of instructions though - as with our game, difficult to understand how to play as intended.

Thank you for the game, really liked the mechanics of it <3

Developer

You are right. I wanted to avoid that kind of tutorial for the game but yeah. Maybe in the next versions.

Cool game!

At first i found it a little confusing, but i think it can be a good thing to the player to get how things work on his own. I would just add the names of the crew members near to their pictures so its easier to choose.

Good job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback.

Turned off life support first, everyone died 10/10. I died quite a few times, but it took a bit of re-reading the tutorial to get the hang of things. Then everything was very manageable from that point on.

I enjoy games where you mess around with systems, so this was a lot of fun!

Oh I'll make more stuff you can mess around with don't worry.

This was a lot of fun! I'd love to see this expanded on and  see the characters walking around the ship performing tasks like RimWorld. This was a lot of fun though as it is! Keep up the good work!

Thank you! That was actually the main idea but we did not have enough time for it. Now that you said it I am even more eager to add it!

Amazing. I'also turned off the life support system at first XD. I loved needing to figure it out on my own.

Developer

;) That is a great and fun way of learning how to play indeed.

I love this type of game. I played a lot of Oxygen not included and this reminds me a lot of that. I think that in order for this game to get to the next level, it would be cool if instead of clicking on the bar at the bottom, we were clicking on parts of the ship? But in any case, cool work, and great music too. Hope you keep working on it! Cheers.

Developer

Thank you a lot for the feedback! I have indeed also thought about Oxygen not included when making this game.

First thing I did was accidentally turn off the life support system lol. Once I figured out the game this was fun. Nice job. Also Love2D!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! If you have any feedback I would love to hear it. !!!Love2D!!!

Fun game! Figuring out how to balance without overheating was interesting.

We also made our game in Lua with love! Check it out if you have time

Developer

I did not thibk there would be someone else that would make their game with Love2D. I definitely will check it out.

This a great idea and perfect for the theme. I enjoyed the mechanics but it may have been a bit too easy. I didn't really have any issues staying on top of everything and ended up having a lot of downtime. Very cool project!

Thanks for the feedback! I really needed it since I did not have time to playtest it.
