## What is SpaceIO?

SpaceIO is a game about running a cell phone startup, a startup where you manually manage the backup of user’s data. Your job is to make sure that none of your customer’s phones ever run out of space. Whenever they’re awake, the customers will be sending emails and taking photos like crazy.

You have to choose how and when to back up their data, but if their phones fill up, they’ll take their business elsewhere! On top of managing the current customers, as a SpaceIO employee you have to set the price for new customers and oversee infrastructure upgrades.

---------------------------

This game was created as part of Ludum Dare 42. Ludum Dare is the longest running Accelerated Game Development Event (Game Jam), and the theme for #42 was "Running out of Space"

This game was written over the course of August 10th and 11th, 2018 in 13 hours and 54 minutes.
