Great game -- i really like the concept and the visuals were great! Somehow, I managed to not mess anything up as an operator! lol

This game stressed me out, the beeping was relentless! But nothing went wrong :'3 I did enjoy the games balance and the visuals were really nice :) I really like the style its very clean and easy to understand

The game goes by really quickly, I was hoping for an explosion at some point but I guess I'm just too good of an operator to ever screw up, right?...

It's a really cool game! It's really simple to understand and play, and it still is really fun.

A really interesting concept! It is also really well executed with just simple game play controls. The game play was fun, had a good time. Great game! Really well made and polished. Keep up the great work!

This is an interesting concept, controlling a power plant with just two buttons, and trying to balance temperature and meet energy quotas. It's quite unique, and I would never have thought staring at three lamps would be anywhere fun before this game. The random events are also quite a nice touch, and it really makes the game unpredictable at times. Nicely done!

For some criticism, I'd say the game lacks a clear state. Currently, even if you fail a day you can still progress through the game. I think it's better to do a game over and force the players to restart the game. The game also doesn't scale difficulty with the levels, and it feels like every day is the same. It would be nice if there were more things to juggle besides the two buttons, such that it's more chaotic and interesting to play.

Anyway, this is quite an interesting entry indeed. Nice work!

Neat little game, really well done!

Great concept! I wasn't entirely sure how the different buttons interacted with the values, but it was fun to try to keep things in the green. A little disappointed I couldn't blow it up though 😅

Interesting game, simple but nice to play. I was about to fall asleep with those white noises lol

Super cool concept! If you decide to to further with this, more buttons and controls would be nice. I liked the notification system. Great job!

Great game! Despite its simplicity, it plays really well and is exciting. Excellent visuals, although the sound seemed to glitch a bit, but it's still great. Magnificent work!

The UI on this game was fantastic! 3D textures on the screen was also a nice touch.

Simple, easy concept that extrapolates into consistently unique challenges. Well done!

So as far as this game goes, if I'm not going to be successful at my current job, I could maybe control a totally normal power plant. As long as those safety audits aren't going to get out ot hand, that is. :)

Fun game, great entry. Well done.

Little game but fun!

Nice work getting so much gameplay out of just two sliders! :) 

It was surprisingly difficult :D

Nice idea for the game. I think you did pretty good  executing the idea, but,  I definitely stumbled when my controls got reversed and it took a long time to understand what was wrong. I feel that notification is difficult to discern from the others. Good job.

I had this idea too, inspired by Homer Simpson! You did a great job; the graphics are nice, and I liked the humor you put in this game. I received a phone call during day 4, so I passed the command to my kid. What could possibly go wrong? I think that water vapor should be white, but it sounds like the plant is already burning haha! Good job. I subscribed to your itch profile, as I am also a dad making games with my kid. Did you try Angry Shepherd?

Yes I already tried and left a comment and I have the same feelings with the flying insects during summer :-)
