Really enjoy playing the game! HAHA learning to manage power plant is hard (I got F twice). Love it!
It was so much fun and enjoyable, it reminded me of when I was sitting in class listening to the teacher talk about nuclear power plants.
Who knew managing a power plant could be so fun and stressful at the same time? Even tough there are only two buttons to keep track of, the ever changing power demand and the random events every now and then, really adds depth to the game and forces you to always be on your toe.
Great job!
Good thing I'm not an actual power plant operator because EVERYTHING would go wrong! Very polished game, and I like the simplicity of having just two buttons to manage. I enjoyed playing this, good job and good luck!
Simple but fun! And I liked the visual style too
Enjoyed playing this! It was simple and polished and really fit the theme well. Great job!
Good job! I also had a similar idea with a powerplant but chose another one. Great to see similar idea implemented.
Cool idea and well executed. Fits the theme. Simple gameplay, but can still induce anxiety :)
I enjoyed it a lot! Great job! Simple game play but still a good bit challenging :D
I failed miserably (I got an F one level) :'), but I liked the overall style of the game.
The one note I did have, I felt like I was missing the updating messages on the bottom of the screen as I was so focused on the numbers, so not sure if they could stay up for longer perhaps? or maybe be placed higher in line with the numbers?
Great job tho, and congrats on completing the jam.
Thanks for the kind words and yes maybe I could switch the position of the monitor and the message box through the screen which would be good one. By the way, I forget to remove the keypad minus and plus buttons to change the time scale of the game so if you wish you can speed up or slow down the progress :-)
Great concept! I like the simple gameplay mechanics, which still challenges the player
Nice graphics, simple but interesting concept. Good job!
Nice little game! I love the mechanics with just two buttons. Sometimes the impact of the buttons felt a bit too slow to keep up or regulate down the power demand. Switching the buttons led to some wonderfully chaotic gameplay. You nailed the theme perfectly!
Extremely well made tutorial to explain the games mechanics! the game itself is clear and enjoyable, but I did have to mute/silence the alarms since they slowly got to me lol
Great game, simple but fun. Nice work!
This game was really fun! I like that the buttons switch occasionally, it makes the game a little more chaotic! It was really fun maintaining the power, temperature and water to stay in correct levels. The tutorial section was also very smooth and easy to understand. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. Good job!
Nice game! Everything seems really smooth and the gameplay in straightforward enough to understand!
Would be really nice if there's more to control and create a more chaotic gameplay!
Sus a nice and smooth tutorial. It makes me feel like Homer Simpson. I got grade A at level 4, but didn't get any after that. Haha! It was fun!
What I learned is that if I'm ever hired to do this, we're doomed. Great game, I was having a hard time exactly knowing how toggling the switch on and off was affecting my values but I managed to make it by the skin of my teeth. Great and snappy art design. It all blended very well together!
It's a really nice and short simulation game. I really enjoy the design of it and the explanation at the beginning even if it was a bit hard for me to figure out which button did what. But after the second day I understood. You did a great job, well done !
