i like the idea of having 3 things to do at once and thought there could be something to work with to make a tense game but i think it needs to build up to that rather than just be go and chaos. a little more explanation of what and why you are doing things would not hurt either, played it 2-3 times and it was never clear what the dials and lights did

Seems fair enough to call it a game. For your first game ever - not bad! The biggest disappointment to me is just that there was no replay button after getting a game over, so I had to refresh the page.

The gameplay itself is a bit confusing. I wasn't able to figure out when I should be turning the knobs or when I should be pressing the buttons.

Cool game! A reset button would have been appreciated!

Yay, I saved the world - 1600.833 highscore. Nice game. Was a bit confused at first but all the instructions were there on the intro page. The game could do with a restart button - at the moment you have to refresh the page to start again. Well done on your first ever game!

Some way to reset in game would be really helpful for playing multiple rounds :) For a first game, it's not bad! Good job!

It's definitely a good game for the first time in creating games. A reset button would be great and some sounds.

@crckbaerchen Saved the world! 723.93!

For your first game and doing it during a game jam, this is great!

Things I liked:

The Gameplay- I really liked having multiple things going on at once. It made the gameplay tense, and made you always look around and think. It reminds me of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes in a way. I think you also balanced the game very well. I failed my first few times, but eventually I managed to win.

The Design- While maybe you don't have the best artwork, I love the layout and design of the screen. It's like a control panel out of Star Trek with different indicators knobs and screens that I constantly have to monitor.

Things I didn't like:

Lack of Sound- I understand this is your first game, but I would have at least liked some sound. You can download programs like Bosca Ceoil or Audacity to make some basic music/sound fx in a short time.

Polish- The beginning screen could use a bit of polish. I wish you had chosen to use a more attractive font and changed up the color palette a bit.

Overall you should be very proud of your first game! I wish you the best of luck in the future! If you want to ask me any questions or hear my opinions more, let me know :)

I found it surprisingly fun.
