Maintain by rafatic

[raw]
made by rafatic for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Maintain is a factory managing game. You are put in charge of a factory. Your goal : maintain the loop of product.

But beware, your employees are easily distractible. Make sure to make their work as mundane as possible and keep them away from any weird looking products.

Controls

  • Machines sometimes produce red objects
  • Red objects distract robots
  • The more distracted a robot gets, the less it wants to work. Without a robot to operate it, a machine will break
  • Click the red objects to fix them

Disclaimer : this game is highly unfinished. Gameplay is not implemented entirely and there is no proper GameOver.

Cool graphics, couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing though.

Very beautiful art, the game looks beautiful, the essence of the game is not immediately clear, you need to present it more simply, but everything is fine!

Really nice graphic ! But you should add a UI to understand where we have to click, unfortunatly I didn't really understand on how I had to interact with the game.

Looks nice. Couldn't figure out what to do so even some text instructions in the description above will help.

Thanks a bunch for trying out the game ! Unfortunately, we couldn't balance properly the gameplay on time soe everything is out of whack and, with some elements missing, the gameplay loop (wink wink) falls appart. The goal is to keep the robots focused on work by clicking on the distractions (red elements). The games spirals out of control and you are supposed to maintain the factory for as long as possible. Give it another try and watch the robots not go bonkers right away :D

It looks pretty cute and is a nice idea, but the robots do bug out pretty quickly with no way to fix them. Maybe just a little reset-button on each robot would do the trick? You could also just double down on this and let everything escalate into total madness, could be fun too :)

That was exactly the plan @erkberg ! But we couldn't get everything in on time :(

The graphics are good, I like the robots ! I think maybe it would have been good to add one or two game mechanics to make the game change it’s mechanics after a while ;)
Liked the mood of it !

My factory broke down and then I had to manually operate the machines, but it looks like my workers never came back, so I just spam clicked on the cube output. Was fun.

If the goal was to ruin a factory line I succeeded! I felt the time constraints might have given you some trouble polishing the main gameplay loop, and honestly I can't talk (My game has nothing) even though I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing I still had fun. Good Job!

Poor Yellow never stood a chance against Silver..
If taken a bit further to reduce the glitchiness of the robots (mine went insane despite the lack of red objects), I can see how this could be a fun, challenging game, perhaps best served on a mobile device due to the need for many speedy clicks.

My robots eventually stopped working and went to complain to administrator :smiley:

Good idea, I hope you work on to finish this game even after jam ends. Graphics are nice.

I really liked the atmosphere you created here. The magma pit and the flying sparks were a great touch. I think one of my robots left their post really early on and stopped the whole line, though. Would have been nice to have some more explanation about how to handle that sort of thing.

Nice mood :-)

It would have been nice to highlight stuff that you can interact with.
Because at start I was feeling like a grandpa trying to click everywhere in MIST XD
Also the machine repair clicking is really hard to spot.
But then... I found the **BUILD** trigger :D
