How does your game fit the theme?
The latest accelerator test resulted in you getting stuck in a time loop of 84 seconds. Explore the offices forming a loop around the main collision chamber. Energetic perturbations further create time echoes, which when touched reset the player and the countdown back to the origin of the echo. The particle accelerator facility the game takes place in uses a kilometer-long loop to bring protons close to the speed of light before colliding them. The facility only hires employees who have a palindrome for their name, indicating their dedication to all things looping back on themselves.

The atmosphere of the environment is cool, and I like how you did the storytelling. However, I wasn't able to complete the game since after putting the nitrogen in the superconductor station, I couldn't find any more clues. I expected the terminal to turn on at this point to let me enter an amount of energy but I didn't figure out how to interact with it.
Really fun though didn't manage to finish. Music was maybe a bit intense for what was happening.
I was able to beat it. I liked that the notes gave hints on what to do and they only gave just enough information on what to do. I would have liked to see the particle accelerator turn off when I beat it instead of it just looping again then. Overall I had fun.
That was fun! A nice puzzle that made me engaged trying to figure it out.
I think you're missing some hints, you'll need more clear goals, and some of the solutions weren't intuitive, though.
For a jam, really impressive!
Please consider playing my game!
Thanks for sharing your game! I really like the storytelling through the notes left about. I didn't quite figure out how to escape the time loop, but I had a great time exploring the facility and solving a couple of the puzzles. I also like the idea of placing a checkpoint in the time loop that you will return to at the end of your current loop.
Your game looks good. Unfortunately, I didn't really understand it.
Thank you, I have made the description more explicit.
