How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
Well, you manage the inside pressure systems of a mech, to keep it stable, as it keeps tilting and pressure keeps changin... it is very much UNSTABLE. thus, i believe it incorporates.

Probably the pressure was too low, but I’ll look into the interaction script just to make sure; thank you for playing and I’m glad you liked it!

Juggling valves and pipe pressure under time pressure is super engaging! Managing the mech's systems gets fast and intense quickly. Awesome concept, and excited to see where you take it with future updates! [Rated]

It's fun and yeah, definitely fast paced! I had a hard time interacting with the valves. Though I am not sure, I believe they might be uninteractable when any pipe anywhere is popped. Other than that, the orders of the pressure pods were unintuitive. It felt like they were not in order. I like the vision! Imagine you manage a larger vessel with your friends, sounds fun!

oh, yeah, i forgot to add a 'note' which draws out the pressure tanks, and yeah, i got them unintuitively by design - will look into that right away; i thought i wrote in the 'how to' pages about the valves being blocked when pressure in tanks is too low, so i'll check it out as well! 
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you liked the game :)
