Keep Her Running

Created for Slop Jam 3-D: https://itch.io/jam/slop-jam-3
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The pilot saves the world.
You keep the mech alive.

Deep inside humanity's greatest war machine, the battle of the century is raging.

Unfortunately, you're not the legendary pilot.

You're the mechanic.

While your fearless pilot charges into impossible fights, activates questionable overdrive modes, and makes increasingly dramatic tactical decisions, you are trapped inside the mech trying to keep everything from exploding.

Repair failing systems, reroute emergency power, survive catastrophic impacts, and keep this beautiful disaster standing for just one more fight.

Every victory means the pilot gets more confident.

Every victory means your job gets worse.

Features

🔧 Patch the Machine

• Fix reactor failures, cannon jams, shield collapses, cooling issues, hydraulic damage, and comms breakdowns before everything falls apart.

⚡ Route Emergency Power

• Redirect power between critical systems to survive your pilot's latest "brilliant idea."
• Protect the reactor, boost the cannon, stabilize the frame, or reinforce defenses — but every choice leaves something else vulnerable.

🚨 Survive Your Pilot

• Your biggest threat isn't always the enemy mech.
• Sometimes it's the person pressing all the glowing buttons upstairs.

💥 Feel Every Hit

• Enemy attacks shake the entire mech, throwing you off repairs and sending you stumbling through the machine.

🤖 Endless Mech Warfare

• The battle doesn't end.
• Your pilot keeps winning.
• Your problems keep getting bigger.
• See how long you can keep her running.

Controls

• Move: WASD
• Jump: Space
• Interact / Repair: E
• Emergency Power Router: E at router station

Warning: The mech is experimental.
The pilot is overconfident.
The repair budget is nonexistent.

Good luck, engineer. Your shift starts now.
