Concept

Meet ControlU, the sweetest office manager in CPU office~ You will assign tasks to four coworker-processors in ControlU's stead. Processors will execute the tasks they are assigned to, but each time they execute an instruction, their heat meter goes up! 

Pay attention to each processor's heat meter and prevent them from overheating. You can lower the processor's heat levels by giving them time to cool off or treat them to refreshments. You can see for yourself what happens if you let any of them overheat, leaving ControlU with less processors to work with. 

Can you keep these processors at work?

Characters

Meet the characters in the game~ (May or may not be accurate to real life references)

ControlU - The office manager, based on the Control Unit. They will assign tasks for processors to execute or give boosts and refreshments when the processors need them.
Intan (Intel Pentium Gold) - She's the default processor with default processing power and default cooldown rate.
Ainun (Intel Core i9) - She can do the huge tasks at slightly faster rate.
Raden (AMD Ryzen) - He does the huge tasks slower, but his heat level goes up slower.
Anthony (AMD Athlon) - He cools down faster, but does the small task slightly slower.

Diversifier

Queen's Gambit: Implement mechanics that requires player to play with strategy

The gameplay requires assigning tasks at the right time to the right processor. If not, the processor may overheat and ControlU will have less processors to work with.

Trade Offer: Implement an in-game currency

Each time a processor finishes executing a single task, the office gains bits as petty cash. ControlU can spend them on refreshments bought from the shop. Items available are food -- good for lowering a processor's heat level -- and coffee -- good for giving the processor a boost to do tasks faster.

Simping: Implement an item-giving mechanincs

Other than giving tasks for processors to execute, ControlU can also give food or coffee.

Controls

WASD and arrow keys: Move
Space: Interact & grab items
Esc: Close shop menu
Enter: Start game

  • Grab a task from the table (space) and assign them to one of the processors

The game gets bugged as soon as you press the menu button, this includes when you replay the game.

Here are the following issues:

1. The initial position of the task is shifted

I pressed the menu button when there was a task waiting. Playing the game after that made tasks spawn at the next position.

2. The score and cash didn't get reset

As you can see from the previous screenshot, I have a score of 5339 and 64 bits of cash. This was the accumulation of playing 2 games (a win + pressing menu button). Losing the game also retains the score and cash.

3. Bought food from the shop went missing + Unable to buy from the shop

Pressing the menu button also made bought food missing. Bought food did not show up on the top left slot. Other than that, despite having enough cash (I even tried to collect more bits) I was still unable to purchase anything.


Thank you for your feedback! I will try to fix these issues before the game jam is over >_<
