nice, very nice game:) Thank you very much!

Submitted

Pretty cool concept. I loved the atmosphere of the game. However, in my first run I didn't quite know what to do. I later figured out you gotta lift the tubes and extinguish the fire tho but a tutorial on this would've been nice. I also thought the inputs were unresponsive like the others thought at the start, but once I figured out how the game goes, it turned out it was my own fault lol.

Submitted

Setting and vibe was good, I must agree with the input being unresponsive, but I think it was related to how the system works as it took some time to figure it out, maybe some feedback to communicate this to the player. Good Luck

Submitted

Cool concept! I loved the visuals and the movement of all the objects was pretty smooth. Only that it felt like my input wasnt being used? not sure if there were any other things i was supposed to do before like pulling a lever or pressing buttons to make them work. But overall cool game!

Submitted

Great idea! The controls and nice but a little unresponsive. There should probably also be a delay between fires to prevent a fire restarting immediately after it's been extinguished. Would love to see this idea taken further.

Submitted

Cool idea, a little thing but I liked how you actually had to unlock the begin button in the menu. However, I feel like the player aid really ends there, and even though you are given verbal instructions, it'll still take the player a solid minute to figure out what's going on and the correct order to do things, so I feel like there should've been more visual aid. Overall, this was a cool game and you should be proud of yourself!

Submitted

I like the concept, it is cool.
It is a bit hard to understand stuff here and it felt a bit unresposive

So yee
Overall tho, it may be me, as I am used to fast paces games more, with dynamic cameras etc
Still I think it is a solid entry, so good job :3

Submitted

Fun small game.  Like the concept like a job simulator.

Submitted

Good simulator, but I had some problem to understand the correct ways to do things. Looks like I am just too lazy to read. Cool thing is that you added your own voice samples.

Submitted

Sometimes clicking the buttons didn't do anything until I move the camera a bit. That felt a bit off. Other than that seems good.

Submitted

Had a play of this already; It is a pretty interesting concept overall. I was a bit too slow the first time trying it and everything went to flames XD. Really clean graphics as well, overall a pretty fun game that can be addicting once you get the hang of it

Submitted

Took an attempt or two to get the hang of it, very fun managing game, my final score was around 2:10

Submitted

It fits the theme really well! The visuals are clean and simple which I like a lot. The instructions are really clear. I felt like maybe it was too hard, I tried really hard to survive as long as possible and got ~1:50 and I felt like I was doing everything I could :D. But overall really great entry, good job!

Submitted

This game is low key addicting. I found myself going back for more to try to beat my time. Simple in execution but still complex in regards to solving problems. You definitely have to pay attention and stay focused. It is a really fun game and I would like to see more of it in the future. 

Submitted

This is really cool! A stressful job for sure. The plant would not survive for very long with me in that chair. The UI is pretty awesome, being physical. One thing I would suggest is to add some kind of feedback when an animation finishes so you can start the next process. Example I could think of was the tube changing vertical position. I was spam clicking to make sure I was doing it as fast as possible XD

Really good submission. Skill level increases as time goes on. I locked in hard and managed 2:20. Will check back to see if I can retain my board position. 

Developer

Impressive score! Thanks so much for playing!

This is extremely neat, and gets very stressful very fast!
I got to 1:41. Inclusion of leaderboards is amazing for this type of game.

Developer

Thanks! Was going for stressful haha. Nice job on the score!

THIS IS SO MUCH FUNN?!?! i wish it was a tiny bit easier to press the different things but overall super fun :D i'm in top 3 so far haha (i worked on A Day At WayWard Co. with BoCo)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I have to fix the hitboxes I think. Glad you had fun!!

Submitted(+1)

Great interface. Stressful first impression, as intended (I think). I enjoyed the fires more than running the plant well, so I didn't last very long. But it was cool to play with levers and switches. Nice entry. Well done.

Developer

Thanks for playing!!
