Nice work getting so much gameplay out of just two sliders! :)
It was surprisingly difficult :D
Nice idea for the game. I think you did pretty good executing the idea, but, I definitely stumbled when my controls got reversed and it took a long time to understand what was wrong. I feel that notification is difficult to discern from the others. Good job.
I had this idea too, inspired by Homer Simpson! You did a great job; the graphics are nice, and I liked the humor you put in this game. I received a phone call during day 4, so I passed the command to my kid. What could possibly go wrong? I think that water vapor should be white, but it sounds like the plant is already burning haha! Good job. I subscribed to your itch profile, as I am also a dad making games with my kid. Did you try Angry Shepherd?
Yes I already tried and left a comment and I have the same feelings with the flying insects during summer :-)
Nice idea. Simple controls, nice clear graphics. Good work!
I really wanted it to go wrong. I was a bit disappointed when I left the reactor switched on and watched the temperature climb, that I couldn't cause a meltdown. I guess that's the theme for you!
Short, simple but a great title!
2 buttons, 3 parameter bars and perfect audio design created a rollercoaster of emotion for me, from tense to relief, then puzzled to proud(?) and repeated. It was almost an perfect endless loop that ended with a big F lmao! Tried so hard but my best was only a B. But hey, at least nothing wrong was happened!
Overall, I had a great time playing this game! You also get a new subscriber! Hope to see more content from your Youtube and your new games as well!
I like how u get thrown into action, that u arent even exspecting at first. I thought just 2 buttons and 3 values, easy. But no its actually a little stressfull in combination with the things on the bottom left and the alarm sound. Great work !
Was able to get to day 6! I would panic with the warning sounds hehe but it was very fun to control the plant. I also like the idea of the little system that would malfunction and your buttons would switch. Really enjoyed this game , would love if you could check out my game CTRL+ALT+ESCAPE!
It would seem that with only two buttons and three parameters..... But how many problems...
It's actually fun! The anxiety from the warning sounds is getting on me but I managed to get to day 5.
Really cool concept on this one, great game!
Really impressed - The gameplay loop was solid and you picked a great game for the theme. The alarm sound got a bit repetitive after a while a but that's my only gripe. All in all, I thought the game was amazing, especially for a solo effort!
Really good game. Gameplay is so easy to understand. Not take much time learning how to play. Balance between challenge and excitement are harmonious. This is the way to deal with game that use only two buttons but can give us accurate feeling of power plant staff. Keep going.
Really good game, design is clean, a lot of different insult from the boss.
You can be proud for doing it alone because it's neat. I can feel the difficulty increasing and see my button getting switch alone (hello Casper, can you stop ?) with the water getting vanished, i can feel the chaos with only 2 buttons.
My honest reaction when the boss insult me :
Good game! The controls were simple and a nuclear reactor is perfect for the theme.
Nice game ! Just a little hard to understand at first.
I really like this game! Simple controls and fun balancing. I am coming back to play this more when I have the time!
My only feedback would be, it would be nice if I could mute the alarms.... doesn't seem safe in a nuclear power plant
Cool game! a bit hard to know what i was actually doing, how these buttons affected the power plant, but i guess that was the part of the fun. a nice game!
Good game!
Fun little game! Really nice job on the smoke effects coming out of the reactors. Really visually pleasing.
I was a bit confused on if what i was doing was actually affecting the game somehow, I think for one day i didnt touch the controls and i got A xD other than that, simple but very well polished. Really liked the 3d scene display as the monitor. Congrats!
