Hey, I don't think that the first link is Web.

How do you reset when you cause a meltdown?

no instructions

I like it but there aren't really any features that are specific to a nuclear power plant, normally these sorts of simulators have controls for the rods/moderator/whatever.
Really like the graphics but unfortunately I can't play with sound at the moment!

Had a couple of attempts but without some instruction as to how to play it still remains an enigma to me. Has potential to be a fun little game though!

gallerdude 2014-12-08 18:56

Seems cool, but I don't know how to play.

Best game I've tried so far. I simply adore this. It's so simple, yet so intriguing. Am I wrong in thinking those are your lips flapping during the "explosion" at the end, there?

A little bit of instructions would be nice, i still dont know the meaning of each control

headchant 2014-12-08 19:05

I love it! Great sound and great concept. Feels so good.

It worked. Wish there was instructions but I got it down in a few tries lol. Seemed kind of stale in that there wasn't much of a point to it, consider adding checkpoints to reach or go out of business. Ex. reach 50,000 before 2 min or game over, once you reach it another goal. Would give a player reason to keep playing.

So this is what it's like to be Homer Simpson.

I actually did enjoy the sound effects but couldn't resist blowing up the plant :P

I had a lot more fun with this than I really expected - only thing that I think it was lacking was a clear goal to achieve. I even like the lack of instructions and unmarked dials - it's kinda like Myst except with the possibility of blowing yourself up.

Its fun to cause a meltdown... It would be much cooler if there were some more goals... the left trigger seems to be strange.... cause i pushed it to the half way up... nothing happend to the temp.... then a pixel to much.... meltdown :D

Fun to play around with and I really like the graphics. Cool simulator!

kate-kligman 2014-12-09 05:03

It *is* fun to fiddle with the control panel and listen to the sounds. I think I took a record for the fastest meltdown. :-D

admix 2014-12-10 02:39

That is a cool idea =)

demy 2014-12-11 15:39

Well, i measure my skills as a 4 Chernobyls i guess. THe game is pretty hard. Nice graphics and this sound... it's annoying but it's just right for the situation, i like it.

tater_hater 2014-12-12 17:57

Despite not having an endgame it was intense! well done

rjhelms 2014-12-12 18:03

Fun idea. I totally had a game like this for the TRS-80 a million years ago.

darkengineer 2014-12-12 18:26

Nice atomic bomb simulator :)

upgradecap 2014-12-12 18:39

This was actually pretty fun to play, and pixel artstyles always melt my heart :D

grouflon 2014-12-12 18:42

Hahaha, This is really good. I really love the fact that you don't have any instructions, that combined with the awesome sounds you made make the game work really really well. Thanks for this moment :)

paperweight 2014-12-12 18:52

Excellent, loved it. The controls needed labels as it took a few goes to get it - also needs a reset button.

lupins 2014-12-12 19:55

Very nice game!
Love simulators

egos 2014-12-12 22:18

the sound is hard to support
Anway you have a great concept with just little more explanation

nikteddy92 2014-12-14 18:26

Damn, this sim is funny!
I played with the pumps testing how much they could resist before melting!
I love the graphic style that you used.
Well done! :D

mrbadivan 2014-12-15 10:59

Good experience, real feel of the chained power=)

job_ 2014-12-17 11:34

I love the game! I played it for a surprisingly long time.
Very innovative idea, but I think it could use some polishing("You made {money}!", actual goal(like you said), other minor stuff)
the graphics and the sound make the game fun.

larzan 2014-12-17 17:26

Hehe, i see you use the same 'sound machine' that i usually use when i have time ;)
Good idea and quite interesting although not many options to influence the plant, you should think about adding some events and more controls, the concept is good, i like it!

mekuri 2014-12-17 17:48

Lovely idea. Very good job for a first entry. Would've loved to have a goal of some sort, that would really add to the experience, but as you said- Time constraints.
