The controls are easy and running around is fun. It's a shame we didn't get to listen to the sounds you've created but hopefully you can manage it in time next time.  \nHere's what I would improve:\n - Add interaction cues so that it is easier to understand what is interactable ([Press E to exit hide-out], [Press E to charge battery], [E to pick-up] - you get the point).\n - I missed out on the evil AI roaming the city, it would be cool to get to run away\/hide from them. That might require additional options to change a filter to win back the lost time running around from said AI.\n\nOverall, fun, little game.\nGood luck!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":901838,"author_name":"Eric.Shaun","author_uid":"eric-shaun","epoch":1673301505,"text":"Wow!

Once I got a hang of my surroundings I started beelining for stuff and in one cycle I was just barely able to get back home with a sliver of time left, which felt pretty good - a sign that the gameplay loop was well designed.\n\nArt was its strongest point I think, the character was endearing and well animated (even if it was just idle+walk cycle, which I will *not* take for granted in a jam game).","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":924248,"author_name":"sourcehorse","author_uid":"sourcehorse","epoch":1673909373,"text":"I got a real \"Death Road to Canada\" meets \"12 Monkeys\" vibe from this.

But I just ran as fast as I could through the first few houses and picked up all of the misc electronic devices and that was good enough. I also thought at first that I had to run back to the hideout before time ran out but when I ran out of time and the game continued I realized that I should just keep looting.\n\nAs you suggested, drone sentries would be great to add a lot of tension while out looting instead of it just being about how fast you can walk.\n\nBy the way you should be able to opt out of the audio rating category if it didn't make it into the game.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld52\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/storage.luckycloud.de\/f\/5c88fb51308e414cb9fc\/?dl=1","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"86247","g_author":"1314915","g_event":"LD52","g_eventkey":"116","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"397854","g_title":"TEN\u00b2\u00b2","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"628","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"314922","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"314922","n_urlkey":"397854","n_parent":"313060","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/52\/ten","n_slug":"ten","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"314915","n_created":"1672655295","n_modified":"1779694729","n_version":"999727","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML
