Tell us about your game!
Until Meltdown is a Resource Management/Puzzle game where you scramble to keep a slowly irradiating core from destroying your spaceship by reorganizing room and ship layout and assigning appropriate crew mates to the tasks to generate resources and keeping things running while the core eats away at your available space. It is designed with the idea repeat playthroughs teaching the player further about the spacial awareness and forward planning needed, and varying rewards and paths that can be taken to supplement the debilitating, and sometime positive, effects of the traditions on your ship and crew, as they, each time, get closer to saving the ship, with only days until core meltdown.

I made the sounds in this. I hope everybody enjoys, and that all of you keep making things!
bro, we had a similar idea even though the names are similar (my game is called "The Meltdown") but instead of radiation, it fires (also you run around to extinguish it). I enjoyed your game it took me a while to figure out what to do but it was fun.
good luck
:).
Heeeey, glad you enjoyed it! I'm the artist behind the character portraits and logo. Crazy how we had similar ideas, but different executions. You have a cool idea for yours, too. Firefighting really sells the theme perfectly. You nailed it!
