Really enjoyable, makes you feel important :D

Nice work with the background audio, especially that you can hear people walking by. I think the scram reset button killed me most of the time. I also wasn't sure if I had to count 30 seconds from when I last pressed it, or if I could just press it just before the clock hit "XX:30" and "XX:00".

Really cool idea, and written in rust is awesome

We made a pretty similar game if you want to check it out.

I like the overal aesthetic, the buttons and mechanics feel nice and responsive. However I think the game has the problem of the things to look out for not being obvious. With certain things being interactable and certain things not. I think the game would benefit from removing the uninteractable elements of the workstation and labeling what remainings.

Buncha Quick time events, fun and simple

Seems I'd make a terrible Homer Simpson! It'd be nice to have an in game clipboard or something as a quick reference on what all the buttons do. I can definitely see this concept being very engaging with more time for polish.

These types of games that make you feel like you're doing some hard tasks are really enjoyable for me. Fifteen minutes is a little too much time; I got to eleven minutes. Nice game!

This is a neat idea. I like the concept of having little tasks you have to keep up on but as is it felt a bit slow. Also I had forgotten what to do with the calibration event by the time it came up and I couldn't figure out how to get back to the tutorial screen to check.

It is a cool idea, I think feedback was a little lacking but maybe that was the intention? Good just though setting felt strongly reactor-y :D

Really like the concept, but for me 15 minutes is a bit too long :)
