All the shakes and alarm sounds really sold the idea of an unstable reactor, even though the game was still relatively calm (which was nice)! I am not very good at this kind of game, so unfortunately the reactor blew up in my case :( \nI liked that you used the bluetooth boxes and bowls in the title screen, haha. It worked really well and is actualy a good idea to make it in real life first.

The dialogue box was also a nice touch to add some narrative.\n\nI guess I didn't really understand how to play the game correctly? It seemed like the optimal strategy was to change every tile, load the control rods, and then continue changing the incorrect control rods until you win. I was also surprised when the game was over after just one level, since it felt like certain hexagons could be disabled\/hard coded to add some challenge.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":717728,"author_name":"blackquiltro","author_uid":"blackquiltro","epoch":1633385213,"text":"@mickm Hope you try again! Thanks for your feedback. First time I implement a camera shake (it's very simple) and I agree it ended up a bit aggresive.\n\n@wuppos @binroot Thanks for your comments. I tried to go for a more polished game this time and to give some sort of tension to a puzzle game. Nice to know you liked that.\n\n@jcmonkey Thanks for your feedback! I wanted to have a hard mode (with digits up to nine) and add a dialog based mechanic in which you chose yes\/no for a risk\/reward kind of thing. Also was going to link those decisions with the end game text. But of course did not have enough time to implement those.\n\n@fakefirefly Hi!, thank you for your comments.
