The clear stand out here is the shader / art style and creepy dystopian future vibe. Well done!

I found it a little difficult to understand what the goal was, and what correlation the knobs had to what was happening.

Great work, continue to grow and challenge yourself!

Great graphics and music. I love the in game menus that's always a treat. I found it a little hard to read what I was doing like both from a control perspective sometimes left right would go up down some times the opposite depending on where I clicked and also from a 'what makes this go bad' perspective. I settled on fiddling every knob a little to move up the hill until I got near 90% unless instability rose then just panic adjusted everything to see if I could get it to stop and called it there. Which seemed to work. I think like if there was more information in the waves or in some other wave that made tuning it more obvious than just watching the number would help. It had a cool vibe and energy to it and I liked the little backgrounds of each person. I really love the art it reminds me of obra dinn in the best way.
