Meltdown

Hey I managed to save 148404 People! Awesome! Can you beat me?

The level art is neat. I love the vaulted ceiling. It was a bit difficult to figure out what you were supposed to do to resolve some of the problems, but I figured most of them out eventually. Still not sure what's up with the ID card scanner (?). Anyways, a decent game over all.

Also, I think I played a couple games with the exact same premise for LD49 (theme was "unstable"). But that's fine; I like seeing the huge variety in terms of how people implement the same basic idea.

My high score was 69570.

Graphics are amazing, sound is fitting, I love the environment of a nuclear reactor. However the tasks are confusing and tedious. The collisions are objects are strange the either don't exist or the completely prevent you from moving. I wish some of the interactables were a bit more forgiving with their hitboxes, have to be very precise when using handles.

@3lstmsinatrenchcoat @peytonbrown Thank you for your feedback :smile:

Great game! Very (VERY) similar to ours last game (Lost Vault). Same idea, but you have a lot more variety of "mini-games".
I was also a little surprised when I saw a big cockroach =)
Overall, a pretty good game!

@zimennik thank you very much for your rating, we are glad to see that you like it. You can shoot the cockroach with the weapon ;)

Also, I think the number thing just broken. Tried every combination on those numbers, but still no effect...

@zimennik Maybe you get a hint by a sound while the task is active ^^

@glox I heard the numbers. But they not correct

Nice game and nice graphics and was a big hassle when suddenly everything was catching fire

@momo-hunter glad you enjoyed it :smile:

A really good entry with great graphics and nice SFXs, with a well made game loop; just one thing: if you spam left click with the extinguisher the audio glitches out.

I played it for a while but couldn't really get past 75430 citizens

So I don't know if it is how it was meant to be, but it was very grainy for me? Like I couldn't see things clearly, it was very pixelated. But I liked the idea and the concept. I had a very hard time seeing things, though. I don't know why I can't microwave the game! Bummer

@ines-brezavscek Oh, that's definitely not how it's supposed to look. Well I mean you should get some sort of distortion if you don't decontaminate yourself, but not like this. Can you tell us which browser you are using? Maybe it's a WebGL-graphic error and have you tried refreshing the page?

@desertmaw I used Microsoft Edge on a macOS and it happened every time I tried playing it, even if I refreshed it. I wasn't sure if it was because of radiation or something haha

@ines-brezavscek Thank you for letting us know! We'll see if this is a common bug with these specs and if we can fix it.

Very cool game sticking to the theme, found it a little confusing for what tasks to do tho. Love the graphics and audio pretty well executed.

@beefbone thank you very much for your feedback

Nice work! :v:

Very cool game! Took a bit to figure out all the solutions, but that's part of the fun. Level art and sound design is great. The only real issue I has was some hitboxes being a bit hard to judge - particularly the card reader and spraying the bugs (for the bugs, maybe it just seemed to take too long to kill them, rather than it being a hitbox thing - hard to say).

Great job on the presentation, both visuals and sounds! I know it is notoriously difficult to include it in the short time frame of a game jam, but some form of tutorial or other player guidance really goes a long way. In this game it wasn't really clear what I as a player should do. However, you clearly have a good group going, keep it up!

@saintchristopher777 Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, some of the hitboxes were a little "misplaced" due to the last timephase stress, but I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway.

@arttu-halonen Thank you very much. The game could actually benefit from some sort of tutorial!

I didn't understand how to do more. I can solve all the problems with the speed of a Quake 3 player xD, but I don't understand how other players can do more than 72000! :O I have tried several times, nothing helps. :sob:

Maybe I missed something? However, I manage to turn off all the red lights... Except the one next to the central bath... You have to press the button to make it go down to 0 but you can't turn off this red light, can you?

Anyway, well done for this game that I find well done on all points: graphics, music, gameplay, diversity, setting, progression. Only small negative point (I think I'm not the only one), I had trouble understanding each action the first time, understanding that there was product for the cockroaches, understanding that there was a gun, etc. A little more signage on each action (animated hologram?) would be great.
For a jam this is really impressive! :scream:

Thanks for the fun! :grin:

It lagged so bad in the browser that I couldn't play it, but from what I saw, and the screenshots, I love the graphics! :smile:

@matlab Thank you very much for your great and detailed feedback!
You're right with the red light next to the central bath. You can not turn it off, but turn it down to 0.
A little hint for you to get above 72000: you need to shower off the radiation :)

@eboatwright I'm sorry for you this happened. Have you tried the download version?

@desertmaw I'm on Linux

Nice game! I'm sure there's a lot I didn't figure out, but the bits I did worked well. A good game overall!

@frank-gevaerts Thank you for your feedback :smile:

Addictive one! awesome art, sounds and mechanics, a little hard, i can't fix te electric problem, cool job!
