M.E.C.H.A : Mobile Exo-Combat Handling Algorithm

Hello,
here's a small mecha themed incremental game inspired by Overcooked with some basic roguelike elements i've been working on.

The game is a bit rubbish: there are big problems with balancing and gameplay.
And then visually it's very basic (it's more of a prototype than anything else).

Please don't look at my code, it's too painful for the eyes: I made the mistake of poorly organizing my project at the start of development and it bothered me throughout.

You play as the operating of a mech.
You will receive “requests” from the pilot who will ask you to take over the management of all the vehicle’s peripherals (cooling system, battery, etc.).
Be quick; you have to complete the mission within a given time limit.
Also be careful to complete the requests on time; if you miss one, the mecha will be damaged.
The further you advance, the more difficult the missions will be.

Tutorial (image with indication in comments):

For each query, you are asked to assign a certain number of "units" to certain devices. There are 4 devices, each with a different symbol.
Requests can be made in any order.
On the requests interface, you are told which devices to provide in units.
You use the slider just above to fill the devices with the requested number of units. Once the values match those of one of the queries, you can click on the validate button. If the request is completed, you earn the number of points indicated on the right, and a new request will take the place of the old one. If you fail, you take damage to a random part of the mecha.
There are three types of requests: those at the top (the hardest, but they are the ones that earn the most points. They take a long time to disappear), those in the middle (less hard, but earn fewer points. They disappear faster), the one at the bottom (easy, earn few points and disappear even faster).

Next to the request reward display, there is a small arrow. If you have at least the same number of points as the request earned and you click on it, you will “improve” the request. This means that from now on, this type of request will earn more points (double), but will disappear more quickly.

When an exclamation mark appears next to a request, it indicates that the request will disappear soon: you should hurry.

When a request is missed or incorrectly completed, the mecha suffers 1 damage on a random part: this can be the head, torso or legs.
The condition of each part is indicated by a number. If either party is at 0 and takes damage again, then the game is over.
You can repair each part and assign additional hit points using the arrows next to the numbers. For each game, gaining a life costs 10 points by default. If you assign a life point to a part, the cost of an additional life will cost double the previous one.

For the glitch effect, I used Brian Vaughn's code, which you can find here

A simple tictactoe for pico-8.
Don't expect much ; i'm still a beginner.
The hardest thing to code were the animations ; the result is not very clean, but it does the job.
Take the code if you want, it's just that it's not very well written : some variable names are in French, others in English ._.

i gave myself 5 hours to do it, so, yeah, it's buggy as hell and becomes impossible to play at a certain point, but I really liked the creation process of this tool
