This is my favourite game so far! You did an amazing job with the visuals and ambience. The gameplay was really tricky but when I got it in the end it was very rewarding. Well done!

Awesome work! music is nice, SFX are great and gameplay is keeping you on edge. I think the ability to switch between screens with keyboard would be a nice addition

Thanks! It was something we considered, but ultimately decided that keyboard controls would have simplified the interactivity a bit too much. Perhaps in post-jam we'll have a setting to enable it.

I would suggest making the ability to move screens by clicking anywhere on the edge of the screen. When I was rushing around it was tricky to find the small button so just having to click on the edge would make it a lot easier.

Good ambient sound and graphic. I just enjoyed to play no matter to know the goal line. But, this game has much attractive to me.

This is a great example of a simple premise executed perfectly! The art and ambiance was amazing and it really felt like I was working in a reactor. I liked the challenge of getting as close as possible for the energy margin!

Good simulation and good mood. I found also sounds fx and music well  placed. I felt like stay in  Chernobyl some hours before the mess.Good atmosphere overall.

Love these kind of simulations, I had really fun trying to hit the energy estimates. Reminds me of a mech simulation game we did for another jam.

Sometimes the game stopped responding for a few seconds when I switched views, but for the most part it worked smoothly. I wish I could switch view with WASD or the arrow keys.

I really like the graphics, simple but effective. Really sells the illusion that you're working in an old nuclear power plant. The text was a bit blurry in a few places, but that's really nitpicking :)

The minimalistic audio worked well too. Great background music to set the mood. All you really heard after a while was the geiger meter, of course :D

Great job! Hope you had fun making it!
