Keep the Pressure

Keep the pressure is a micro reaction / casual game made for the LudumDare49 - Unstable game jam.

Press the buttons and switches to lower the pressure of the valve. Keep it stable for 2 minutes to win the game. But beware, everything besides the layout is randomized.

-------------
The difficulty of the game is dependent on the framerate (yeah not the smartest move for a browser game) I do not recommend google chrome for that reason.

A very very simple game. Could become much better with more tension and variety in gameplay. Good potential.

I overall liked this. It could perhaps have used a bit more gameplay ideas, and some music and visuals effects would also have been great But overall a pretty good combo game. Well done.

A clicker game with switches and buttons I like. I wish that the difficulty ramped up as the time continued. I felt like it stayed too easy and would also like to see the 2 minute countdown on the screen to know how much longer I have. Sounds for pressing/flipping would also add to the experience as well. I think this has potential to be expanded into something really great.

Some audio for button presses and flipping the switches will make the actions satisfying. Otherwise quite a nice time sink for when someone needs to fill a couple of minutes.

Nice! An obvious expansion would be to have multiple gauges to keep stable, and buttons and levers to affect each. Prevent a power plant meltdown!

Very basic but I liked the vibe, the art style was nicely done, and I had a little extra fun by skipping the instructions, so I liked that there was no tutorial and I got to figure out what to do for myself by experimenting. I wouldn't have minded if the difficulty was higher, and I even played in Chrome!

Nice job with a small entry.

This game have a good potential. Maybe it will be better to add sounds, when player presses the buttons. Also maybe player must to fix broken buttons)
Overall prettty game for not long time.

A button pressing game! There wasn't any big puzzle or strategy, just push buttons to keep the pressure down. The randomly disabling buttons was a little twist but it didn't really hurt much. Could still easily keep the pressure down and finish the game. Was more fun than expected :)
