I love the concept and aesthetic!
really smart idea, I love the whole design of it, the idea of a console displaying info is much better in my opinion than lot of UI elements everywhere for different infos. good job!
Good entry, good graphics, and i really enjoy taking care of my little colony
classic concept and good execution! i do wish it was a bit easier to visualize status of each of the different nodes as well as health of the humans. sometimes i was caught off-guard (but maybe that's part of the difficulty :) ) - anyway great job!
Great game. Looks like a real industrial control panel. Nice touch with the dynamic the audio.
Really neat. I'm at day 10 now. Can it go on for forever?
This kind of game is dangerous for me, I could easily myself losing some serious time playing this. That is, if I dont kill everyone in the colony ;-). I think a little bit of a hint on what to do at the start would be helpful. I sat there for about 5 minutes before I realized no one was actually in the colony yet. and another few minutes fiddling with the dials until I realized they were all turned off and I needed to turn on the water first before the others would turn on. But overall, its a good game!
One of my favorite entry so far. Overwhelming at first glance but it really "clicks" after few seconds/minutes. It's a simple yet effective gameplay.
Good job!
@shaggy At day 12 the last new human is added. In testing day 13 was the maximum. But you can try to be better then that. :D
Nice game, I really like the idea!
I like it! love space environment games, only i little hard to control lol, the theme match perfectly, i think more stable will be great and more development, i love the idea, great work!
It takes some time to understand it but after that is a really cool game. I was asking my self "hmmm but where is them usage here?" then the dials start to go like cray and I "yeah there it is :smile:". Got 4 humans and then they are dead by a lack of energy. I'm playing it again.
Good job! I have a lot of fun playing this game!
Nice! This is a very interesting game. It took me a bit to work out what to do but I guess that is part of the "weren't a hundred percent honest in your resumee". I think it should have gotten harder faster because I barely had any trouble as long as I made sure the reactor didn't go into red. I think you probably should do some balancing of the different options if you do a post jam version because the main thing to watch is just the reactor.
Regardless, this is still a really good game even without changing that. Good Job!
Haha, fun game :D It was easy while keeping my attention very well. Good combo for a jam game! Graphics were mostly alright, but felt really rushed. The screen with the effect was cool though!
Nice I can't Believe it this game is still under danger zone :(
Dang, that was kinda stressful! I managed to get to day 15, though barely. I wasn't sure if there was an end at all. Definitely a cool idea, and I liked how the difficulty escalated. An endgame would have been kind of neat and rewarding, but otherwise you managed something really cool here. Thanks for a fun game.

Great work! I love it! I think it's a good game for "Keep it alive" theme, but for "Unstable" is okay too. Congrats!
