Pocobot must travel through the inner workings of the reactor facility to pair all of the reactors with their power cores

This game takes advantage of a rendering technique called Sprite Stacking to create the illusion of a 3rd dimension. However, this game is entirely in 2D!

The game focuses around 4 core elements:


Pocobot:


Moves around and pushes things into place. Control him to bring the facility back online

Reactors:


Produce energy, but also create heat. Don't allow their thermals to reach zero!

Coolers:


These keep the thermals of the reactors in check to keep them running smoothly

Power Cores:


These store energy, charge them up with the reactors to restore power to the facility

And a few helper elements


Time Button:


Stand on this button to have time move forward more quickly. Helpful for slow charging Power Cores

Doors:


These need to be powered to move through the facility

Awesome puzzle game! The interactions were a bit hard to grasp at first, but I was absorbed the moment it clicked.
One little nitpick I have is the desire for an "undo" button to undo my last action. It feels a little unfair when I had the solution, but one missed input means I have to do it all over again.
Aside from that, absolutely wonderful puzzles. I had a great time wracking my brain.
Great entry! Congratulations on making it!

The game is really good and makes a lot of fun to play. Also graphics and sound are nice! I needed some time, to realize that the game is turn based :-D
However, good job!

Cool take on the sokoban-like genre! Good pubzzles too, very fun. The input felt a little blocky at times, but I understand it was because each entity has its "turn". Also the sprite stacking is very cool, I can't believe it's not 3D :D
