Great job! it is adorable :D

sprunth 2021-10-04 22:44

I like the green creature

bloodbane 2021-10-05 07:38

I could go over 500 score but I'm bored already so I stopped. Anyways, it's a good game. I was puzzled at first on what to do but after I understand, I could handle the unstable core.

noctiluca 2021-10-05 08:35

This was actually really fun! I love the background art and the squishy blobs :3 It's great how you have to manage multiple tasks, and it's kind of hard to stop playing, since i keep wanting a higher score xD Great work Louie!!

louiejams 2021-10-05 08:50

@draconimous @noctiluca Thank you both, I can say I would not be here without your encoruagement and friendship throughout the last couple years!

@sprunth I'm glad! Me too! It's why I put them on the menu screen and placed one in the level at the beginning, I couldnt resist the cuteness!

@bloodbane 500? I'm glad you played for so long! I admit I wasn't able to balance to difficulty very well, I think to improve, it would help if things got faster, maybe I could add another thing to juggle? Thank you for playing!

duskel 2021-10-05 12:45

A little too easy but i love the art :D

angm-diemoon 2021-10-05 12:54

good job

ghuyajil 2021-10-05 12:58

Nice simple concept, the artwork is funny!

naymsayk 2021-10-05 13:49

The art looked great and the concept worked well. Unstable sort of lends itself to "spinning plates" games and physics things. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the dude moved a little faster but it worked well enough.

mouf 2021-10-05 14:28

Simple but that what is nice ! Love the ambiance with the graphics, need maybe a little bit of balance for the difficulty, played 300 sec and it's a bit the same thing as at the start. GG !

holy-doggo01 2021-10-05 14:33

Cool art, interesting idea

jepjoh2 2021-10-05 14:35

Nice

Discovered that you can apparently run the elevator out the top and not get it back down :stuck_out_tongue:

maxathon 2021-10-05 21:02

I've seen 3 "prevent reactor meltdown" games so far in this LD, and this one is the best! Simple and elegant.

tomer-cool 2021-10-06 00:24

Nice game, liked the artstyle

nanobuilder 2021-10-06 00:46

I like the cute little blob chilling in the bottom left platform. Maybe have it move to other platforms randomly to obstruct your path and up the challenge a little bit?

yumao 2021-10-06 04:07

Cool concept! The artstyle really catches me.

thegamerasd 2021-10-06 04:08

Nice game, I liked the sound effects.

fabioecco 2021-10-06 04:09

Amazing game! It took me a little while to understand the goals, but it turns out super fun and very challenging. Good job!

bridgeonastick 2021-10-06 09:35

Really simple, but very fun game! A bit too easy if you know what you have to do, as it gets harder the more you fail to do tasks by having slimes everywhere. Great art, everything is very distinct. Nice job!

enya454 2021-10-06 12:15

Got a high score of 132. All in all, it was a really fun game. Short sweet and addictive. I didn't quite get what the point of the slime was but it was still a really fun time.

rumor 2021-10-06 13:24

Nice job, straightforward and engaging. If you keep going with it I'd wish for a bit more ramp-up in the difficulty, or some overarching goal that capped off a level and then more stages/layouts after that.

curleyrach 2021-10-06 14:50

Simple but enjoyable little game! Cute graphics and the audio complimented it all nicely.

kuro917 2021-10-06 22:31

Very nice game, with a cool simple background music it could be very interesting!

essarrgee 2021-10-06 23:49

Easy to learn and fun to play! Well done on the sprites too. Great job on the game!

pnikav 2021-10-07 01:39

Good implementation and concept! Not a bad atmosphere, I liked the graphics and music. Keep up the good work! Good job, guys

poovi 2021-10-07 06:14

I really liked the visual concept for this game. Overall a good work. :)

fegabe 2021-10-07 09:08

It's a good game with good ideas. The graphics are beautiful and the green creature needs more protagonism and some friends! hehe It has potential to grow the game with different mechanics and put the player into more tension ;) Good job!

lazyseal 2021-10-07 18:22

Nice concept. The jump mechanic feels a bit lagging, or maybe i do something wrong :C

cozygamepals 2021-10-07 18:33

Awesome job! Very polished and simple, love the theme as well.

kukurammus 2021-10-07 18:50

Nice game, which there would be music to create tension. But overall good job

thesedatedprince 2021-10-07 19:08

Loved the art style. The gameplay was simple but effective, with a very clear core mechanic. The controls felt nice and tight to me. I think some music would definitely heighten the experience, but overall this was a nice, fun game.

binaryprinciple 2021-10-08 00:19

Cute artstyle and sounds. A simple concept clearly executed. I would like some variety or events that changes the pace.

jpatchz 2021-10-10 13:04

Very interesting concept! I get a little lost at the beginning, I didn't know what I was suppose to do. But after a few retrials, I was able to understand. The difficult growing could be more fast through gameplay time, because it gets a little bit monotonous after a while. I personaly like dash-like games and this one got me into this vibe. Considering you made the game all by yourself, it's an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations. I followed you on twitter and I loved the pixel art there. Hope you come back to that unfinished project!

axelrinaldo 2021-10-11 14:52

Really nice cute little game! I especially like the slime just chilling in the corner, great piece of atmosphere! :D Some music would have been nice to add even more of that as well

ismael-rodriguez 2021-10-12 01:54

Cool little game. Needing to jump into the elevator was a little inconvenient. I really like the artwork. Good job!

teegan 2021-10-12 03:15

Nice game! I think something linking the gauges with the in-game thing that affects them would do wonders for getting players to quickly understand the game (either symbolic, color-coded, something like that). I wish there was a bit more to the gameplay, maybe some kind of progression or increasing difficulty. I got to 350 and enjoyed my time, but realized a bit after that that I had basically seen the entire game. I really enjoyed the colors and art style and the execution on the pixel art were really awesome! Overall really great work ESPECIALLY for doing it solo! Really great artwork and nice job getting it all together in time!

magnanix 2021-10-13 16:26

Nice work! Took me a little while on first play to realize I needed to jump onto the elevator :P, after that it was fixing containment breaches and balancing bars all the way! Reminded me of old arcade games, survive as long as possible! :)

twistedhawk 2021-10-17 18:19

Fun arcade game! Great controls, nice visuals, and a fun concept! Don't be afraid the ramp up the difficulties of cracks as you progress through the game.

2021-10-18 08:45

Chaotic game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/x_dDMWkmRHA

xpoho 2021-10-20 11:46

Почти реальный симулятор ядерного реактора! Так держать! ^_^

2021-10-20 13:40

Cute art style! The UI is very clean and SFX fit the style :) Quite a relaxing game to spend some time on :)

rainsong 2021-10-21 14:30

Love the slimes :D
