My First Nuclear Manuela by Franci

made by Franci for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

Welcome to the worst game about nuclear physics that will teach you everything that you need to know to save an unstable nuclear reactor*.

The Manuala™ contains the information you need to control your nuclear reactor and stop it from exploding. Do not forget to create new mixtures to keep everything running smoothly.

Be careful, an inspector will swing by to have a check on your nuclear reactor to make sure that everything is working correctly. Keep him busy and get him to leave as quick as possible so that he doesn't have the time to verify your reactor.

Whatever you do, do not fall asleep on the job!

*Results not guaranteed. We are not liable for any failures to save nuclear reactors while using the Manuala™. For any complaints, please contact your manager.

Really clear and usable UI, very pretty, all the buttons both look and feel good to press. Utterly incomprehensible. I only managed to press two buttons with the intended results.

Which I suspect means everything was working as intended, If there is a puzzle I never managed to get it before the factory exploded, that or I mixed and heated something that caused the factory to explode.

Loved the graphics and sound design, with the music being the best i've heard in a game this jam. However the game mechanics were a little confusing and immediately puts the player in the deep end (which may be on purpose). If each panel was introduced slowly then the progression would be comfortable and could lead to a slow stress build up of managing more and more panels overtime. Super good jam entry, feels very polished. :D

Good job, i really like the keep talking and nobody explodes vibes, the game is fun to play but some of the manipulations to solve puzzle was not really clear. Anyway it was a good game and i enjoyed playing it ! 😄
