Great atmosphere! Reminded me of Shadowrun games for some reason :) I liked your work with lights, especially! Thanks for a Linux build. We also made a game for LD46 in Godot engine!

I really liked the atmosphere the audio and lighting created. Solid entry! And quite challenging.

Challenging. Always seem to lose one mainframe easily. Is there a way to turn them back on? Loved the little passages when you can hide forever.

The graphics and lighting is great, and the music complements the atmosphere very well. A small criticism I have is that the turrets feel quite underpowered, and I found that usually I was better off just punching the drones, so they either need some re-balancing or I just didn't get the mechanic fully :P. I also absolutely love Keep the **IT** Alive.

Interesting game, Turrets feels overpowered to me since they can't be destroyed

Interesting game, pretty challenging. The atmosphere was great, it's good to have a tutorial at the beginng even though I had some trouble figuring out I had a character I could move around.

Beautiful, short Jam-Game. I think the length of the game was just perfect for a Jam. I liked the Idea and how you delivered it. The Music and Soundeffects are really cool, the Graphics and animatons are just onpoint. At some point it was a little to easy. In the end I just placed Cannons in front of the portals and there wasn´t much else to do then, even though I lost one PC in the beginning. Well Done, Thank you :)

The idea is good, the controls are good except for attack - spacebar. I feel that mouse click for attack may have been better. The graphics and sounds are cool :ok_hand:

Very fun! It's really satisfying to smack those things with my keyboard for some reason, even if that is mostly a backup to the turrets. I didn't realize there was a second computer until it was too late to save it, but I did alright just focusing on the one anyway. I love the moody lighting as well and the music is great. Great work overall!
