Having played both this and Reactor Knockoff, I can confidently say Worker Ant that you are a good developer.
The small details like what direction the heat travels too and from is great, the animation and graphics are nice. The lack of sound is a bit of a shame but the gameplay loop itself is great if not hard to get rolling.
Personally, I believe you should try straying away from any inspirations and add changes you think could work.
For example, getting rid of the deposit bank would be an idea. Another would be the ability to pause the game or stop the computer so I can add changes without needing to delete the CPUs.
Overall great game, good job!
