That was fun and visually appealing, very big fan of the atmosphere/aesthetic. Took me a bit to figure out, but that was a fun gameplay loop! I lost track of what the upgrades/modules did, if the description is shown when hovering the module, that'd be nice

awesome! its been a while since I've played something with similar looks, I loved it! Nixie tubes are amazing, Steins;Gate has a place in my heart, also this reminded me of Lost's Hurley sequence for the hatch room 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42; I felt having to press the numbers to prevent something bad from happening it felt great

exciting idea!! i like the aesthetic

Great vibe with the art style and the sound design ! Having to turn your back to the timer to buy upgrades makes it even more a bargain !

Managed to get into a groove, as I cranked the lever I saw sparks coming out of it and the camera started (what felt like) zooming in... "Oh no, am i going to break the lever?"

A kid screams outside, and me thinking its in the game I panic and start looking around. Please don't tell me you implemented that or I won't be able to sleep!

Jokes aside; I liked it!

Cool concept. Nice aesthetics!

This one is interesting and more than a little anxiety-inducing to play this on a touchpad haha. The little sound effects add a lot to this one. I also appreciate that you only have a few seconds (since you need to keep the crank going and the furnace cool) to see what all the upgrades are before selecting one, it's a nice touch

Really interesting concept! Atmosphere kind've reminds me of Iron Lung

Developer

definitely a big inspo

The vibe reminds me of Angel Engine! With some other elements to juggle this would make for an intense game!

Interesting Idea, really cool world setting and mechanic balance. Would have loved some click outline cause I didnt realise the coins fell on the ground . really creative game

Submitted

A very interesting idea. If we added more mechanics, it would become a Steam game.

It got me going!
