You recently became a new worker at a nuclear power plant. You've been assigned to maintain the reactor and transfer generated energy into the main core. *You weren't given this job to make any mistakes.*
Mini Tutorial ---------------- >Keep the heat and pressure up
>Click on the icons to open windows.
>Press the space bar when the red line reaches a white space in the slider game.
>Click and drag the black square in mazes to the marked location.
>Surge the generated energy into the core when the bar is at least half way or more. (less is possible but not very effective)
The concept is pretty neat and i liked how you had to balance the elements in the reactor. I didn't get the hold 'space' to decrease game tho, it didn't seem to do much :( but overall it was pretty enjoyable
First of all, loved the audio. The music was giving me some portal 2 vibes and I love that game so well done. I especially loved the little shutter sound during the title sequence, it made this game seem very professional.
Gameplay wise, it wasn't too bad. The puzzles were easy enough to do once you knew that you had to keep the line in the white box but I didn't know to do that until I read the description on itch. Maybe you could make a tutorial just for the basics of each one?
The only puzzle I had a problem with was the maze. There was no fullscreen button for this game and I have quite a high resolution monitor so the actual window was very small fir me and it was difficult to quickly move the mouse through the maze.
Lastly, I loved the graphics and art style. It definitely gave a feeling of having a sort of apocalyptic mood. All in all, great game and I hope to see more like it!
@e-server Keyboard input functionality may depend on the browser (or maybe OS). It works fine on the Brave, Firefox and Chrome browser. Make sure to focus on the game before trying to make any inputs.
I was *really* impressed with this; I'm particularly fond of the fact that the minigames and the point of the game were very clearly communicated. I knew what I was doing and what was required of me from the start (with a tiny exception of knowing to drag the darker square in maze), so that was brilliant. It's annoying to start a game and not really understand what you are doing or why.
I thought the atmosphere was spot on and the alarm state added genuine tension. I leaned forward while trying to navgiate the maze and felt rushed - I hit the wall! I quickly scrambled to try and move my object to it's target but ran out of time! I like that the mazes were different and not always the same.
I personally would have added universal mouse control; I don't think spacebar would be neccesary for two of the games when the rest of the game is played with the mouse and space bar isn't particularly neccesary (or leave them in, but also give mouse functionality).
Overall I thought this was an atmospheric little game and I liked the small details like the way cute face at the begnning faded away.
Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your entry!
Wow really impressed with this one. i love the mood it creates, it felt really finished and coherent, especially for a jam game. i could really see this becoming a full game with some story around it (like "papers, please"). Good job!
I love the aesthetics and the mood. It's a shame you opted out of the mood category because that's one of the strongest parts of the game. It's pretty easy right now and I wonder if it would be more interesting if all of the windows were always open so there was more of a multitasking element. Great job though and I loved playing it.

So I don't know if there's a win condition, but neat game anyway

I've added Unity's fullscreen bar back to the game because I never took the scaling factor into account.
About the Portal 2 vibes, I was listening to the soundtrack in between making the music for this so it was quite the inspiration.
Thanks for the feedback and kind words!
