Good use of the theme, it's pretty hectic trying to juggle the different systems!

Really liked the mechanics in this one. Personally I found it difficult to manage the different areas; although you have indicators as to what's failing, I think I'd need those to be made even more blatant for me to notice them. Loved the 2d/3d feel to the graphics.

Oh man, what a great little game. I really like the graphics, and the gameplay loop was excellent. Slowly adding more things to manage is also done really well. Controls are clearly visible and well explained. Awesome job!

Oooh, I like me a time-management game! You've got some really great stuff in here too. Things got really tense when the machines were shaking around when they got critical. I also really liked that the music cuts out when the power goes out, that's one of those little things that stays with you

You should be proud! I really enjoyed your game :)

Well, it kept me on my toes, nice game!

heh, I've chosen same way for intepreting the theme, although I did it "russian way". Trust me, I'm an engineer.

Wow, they dont even use some sort of stable light on reactors! Goverment saves on everything. Water tank is so hard to keep stable without light! Pretty intence gameplay, nice ballance, game is doable, but needs much effort. Had fun playing this, nice work!

Hey! Great game! Very similar in idea to mine (check it out if you can) and nice ambiance. I was able to finish it. Congrats!

This was great! I liked the separate mini-games that are simple but combine for a chaotic (unstable) time. Really well done with the lighting and the music too to bring it all together.

I absolutely loved the 2D/3D aesthetics. It looks great and you combined it amazingly! Controls were simple to understand and you really nailed the atmosphere down, especially when the lights go off and such. This game should have more ratings than it does. Great one!

I see what you did here, I almost was looking for shovel. Great game anyway, stunning art. Game can be easily expanded say with defending from headcrabs

I really like the 2D pseudo-3D look, the gameplay is also fun and frantic, although I wish the explosion was a bit more grande

mathiouza 2021-10-07 03:08

Really like the aesthetic! The gameplay is hectic and it's really really solid!

The only thing I could say is that the water tank is too versatile. At the end of the game, is a bit too difficult when the light turns off. The thing is too unstable and the time you take to turn back on the lamp can make you loose, even though it's at the perfect center before going to the switch.

Anyway, besides this issue, the game is really great and the sounds are really contributing to the mood of the game. I really liked it! :clap:

Mini games don't let you relax and get bored! Good game design.

spacecadet 2021-10-08 13:33

Hahah nice game. We were toying with really similar idea first but ended up with more fast paced approach. The graphics were cool as well as the sound design. The water tank a bit hard to control when the lights turned out but overall cool game :)

maus-games 2021-10-08 20:30

I always felt I have everything under control, but the light turning off sometimes added a lot of pressure by hiding all the current states, which is a really nice idea to keep even the best multi-taskers on their toes. Well done.

lesinvisible 2021-10-10 00:05

I really liked the pseudo 3d look of the game and core mechanics. The game is a bit too hard for my taste, but it's a very solid entry.

deltamain 2021-10-10 14:18

Liked the simplicity of this game. It definitely fits theme. The only problem is that there are some events combinations that make nearly impossible to win.

onesmallboy 2021-10-10 14:20

Great game, loved it to bits. The art was cool, liked how pixel art was in 3d. Sound effects helped brilliantly as well. Great job!

louis-victor-o-hara 2021-10-10 14:23

Its a good game with good music! Nice job :D

rufson 2021-10-10 16:00

Mixing 3d polygons with 2d sprites works great here. All in all, the only thing missing is the operator animation and the less repetitive footstep sound. I've played a lot of times, I've always failed :boom: but I was very close to full power. Great mood, I like the radio connection with electricity and the shadows when it's dark. Grats!

Very cool mini game! The graphics, music, and mechanics are all simple, but at the same time enjoyable, harmonious, and interesting! Thanks for participating in the jam! ;)
