Great concept, but I'm having controls issues. I can't seem to alter the cooling and power levels, and occasionally mouse input stops working. Maybe that's just the web version, though.

I liked the idea of the game, however I felt like the execution was a little unfortunate. The controls felt lunky, the character doesn't really stop when you release the key. It almost feels like tile based movement, which doesn't really do well for a First person game. Also, I didn't feel like I had any real indication of what problems I was having at any given time. No audio cues (or audio to speak of) made for a bad time. I think even a few blips for the gauges and random metal sounds from a free audio website would have helped to at least give cues. Either that or some really good visual indicators to give an idea of whats going on around all the craziness of a nuclear reactor doing whatever it's doing. The graphics looked great, however. I definitely think this game could have used a few more hours of polish.
@ivysly Yeah, if the web version isnt played fullscreen it seems to have some input issues. It's due to the mouse not being locked.
@sir-onionknight Movement on standalone builds, as well as webgl (just not as well), seem to be smooth for me. That in mind I've only tested the Windows build. Audio is definitely not my strength and I do have to agree that some audio cues would've been great or some other visual cues.
It looks pretty cool! I try to open web at first time. It was crazy low frame. Download version is better. I like this concept to control unstable nuclear cube. But it was a little bit hard control if I need to control the panel in 3D world. I am thinking that might be easy to 2D perspective for controlling panel. Overall, I love this game! Good works!
I really like the design. I am not sure if some parts of the jumpy game play is part of the unstable theme or if there are some issues. But I really like the game and would interested if it was being updated. I also really like the part where I am instructed not to get to close to the reactor, but I just snuggle up close to repair it.
