Keeping I.T. Alive!
This game was written from 9PM onwards on Sunday (UK time), having quit on Saturday afternoon following an aborted attempt at an I.T. management sim, probably sensing it was going to be as boring and pointless as it sounds. And that was the best idea I had.....christ.
I did think it a shame to waste the work I had done on the graphics though (and fail to complete another Ludum Dare in some form), so decided to knock together this simple clicker.
The controls are simple, just hold the mouse button down on a PC to fix/upgrade it. To complete a level, fill the productivity meter before the time runs out.
- Green screen = Fully working PC, +4 productivity.
- Orange screen = Obsolete machine, +1 productivity.
- Blue screen of death = Crashed machine, 0 productivity.
- Red screen = infected machine, -2 productivity and chance to spread to other machines.
Tools
- Unity3D 2019.3
- Visual Studio for Mac 2019

Gameplay is fun and very intuitive to figure out.
Good job on reusing your work cleverly, that's a nice little clicker you've made.
The gameplay is fine, it's great how the little guys shuffle around and make funny noises.
But the requirements to pass the first level alone are so unbalanced that chances are you won't be able to until you luck out and get no red screens for a round. I assume this will get more manageable in future levels, judging by your screenshot. But as is, it was barely playable for me, I hope you find the time to rework the "productivity" requirements at some point. This was a nice try.
