Creeping Steel by Tw9nty
Giant machines, tiny humans.
It's been like a year..or a month...I don't know for sure, we are at war with our enslavers, machines. Our leader sends volunteers down often enough, but not a single one has returned. Will we be able to find the CORE? This building seems to be dimensionless.

Overall, there seems to be a lot of unimplemented stuff, but what you managed to do looks awesome; I'd be interested in playing a more complete version for sure!
Awesome doom mood!
For more information you can read all the rules at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules, which is also linked in the footer of the website.
"Certain Bug Fixes are allowed. You can’t add new features, but if something broke or didn’t work correctly as you were finishing up, you can fix this after the deadline."
Adding an ending to the game is not included under that definition. I don't understand the part of your comment about hit and runs and disrespect. IF it refers to something in the game I didn't even start or rate the game. I just came across someone openly planning to cheat in the jam and decided to point that out in case they didn't know. To openly ignore those rules is disrespectful to the other competitors.
Adding features might be well within the rules for your internal jam at ITHub College, but it's against the rules of the Ludum Dare Jam, and could still have been uploaded to Ludum Dare without accepting ratings if the team wants to not outright break the rules of THIS competition, which they have entered.
If your team still wants to be valid competitors in this competition in addition to the one at your college, the rules recommend that you "highlight the changes you make in your submission (a short change log)", so I would also recommend doing that in the actual submission text rather than through ambiguous wording in a comment.
I'll leave this comment section alone now, people can form their own opinion based on this information.
Game looks & sounds really good though! Very atmospheric
Now I've completed it :) Very nice, I love the atmosphere and the story that you get towards the end - it's a very atmospheric game, excellent job for the jam!
But as other comments stated it, I can not rate this game. You need to provide the original submitted version to be able to compete with the others entries (on your itch.io page just upload the original game file and then another which will be the one you update)
But overall well done, cool game :thumbsup:
