  • Puzzle games are my favorite. Playability: The puzzles in this game are very fun. I enjoyed all of them. Unfortunately I consistently softlocked the game after doing the lever calibration puzzles. It leads me back to a room from which I cannot escape because the doors lock upon entering. This happened to me in all my playthroughs. Theme: This game innovates on the idea of it's spreading by making the spreading a looming threat that you need to solve puzzles to avoid. Very well executed. Cleverness: There isn't a lot of moments where a clever player could shine due to the linear nature of puzzles, however the puzzles themselves require you to be clever so I think this is sufficient. Artistic Style: The game's style is really nice. The looks match the mood, the ambience is a tad loud but I don't mind this. I didn't get to hear any of the music, so I can't rate that but I bet they were bops anyways. Keep kicking ass!

Extra Notes
I have been documenting every day of the jam except the final one on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@Tsea200
I am currently 15 (16 on Sunday) and this is my 4th Game Jam.
Worked on it with my friend who made the interaction system.
I completed everything else.
Overall This has been a verry fun experience.
Good luck and well done to everyone else who completed their games!

Nice puzzler indeed.
Though at times a bit slow on the progress but a very solid game.
And the reactor looks cool as hell <3

Thanks. Pacing was something I didn't consider throughout the process and looking at it now it would have benefited from it. 

I'm really happy with the reactor and I'm glad others are liking it too

Thanks for playing
