UnStable Reactor by honzapat

[raw]
made by honzapat for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

Have you ever wondered what comes to running a powerplant? Looks like just one technician and that happens to be you. Good luck.

Screenshot<em>2021</em>10<em>05</em>00<em>00</em>33.png

Every now and then something breaks(and you can hear an iconic sound almost everyone knows) and now its your job to find where and what broke(cameras are your friends). PS: The book should have had tutorial, it doesnt, yeye, TIME. If you want to play something good, don't play this, this was done in almost 3 days, take a look maybe there, we are working for well over an year on this now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1627770/The_Kostka/ and don't forget to WISHLIST.​

I really like the mood it sets being the only worker in the power plant. I think you could have a boat-load of potential if you were to add any hints of horror into this. Not necessarily adding any monsters, but if you were to build upon making a scarier atmosphere. Like sudden noises that you need to investigate.

Otherwise, I wish there were a little more explanation on how to interact with the rooms to fix.

Good job!

Great graphics! Love the plug for your other game on the posters haha. Ran into an error that crashed the game when I tried to repair the pipes, but other than that, it was a lot of fun!

I love the visualizations, and I like the pixel style you had! For the gameplay, I was able to repair some of the components, but had trouble with most of them. For feedback, I encourage bigger visual indicators.

I really like the art style, but there wasn't much to do. Also, the prompt to interact with objects in the bottom left is very small.

Like others have said, the game looks great and the mood is good. But I was very confused as to what to do and the sensitivity of the mouse was way too high.

Graphics are mazing and I love the music. Truly a very impressive environment to run around in! I was also confused what I could and could not interact with. Maybe a prompt at the beginning of the game would be helpful to get the game started so people don't get confused. Also the mouse sensitivity was really high. Overall, very good!

art and audio were great! when you highlight something to be fixed it would be nice if the text was larger and in the center of the screen, i almost didn't notice it.

unfortunately when i went to fix one of the thingies my game crashed (i suppose that is on theme though :>)

It runs very laggy on my computer (I don't have any problems with other games). The visuals are nice, but I found the music a bit annoying.

Killer music!

The error sound made me laugh the first time I heard it :laughing: Unfortunately I had the same crash as @zachsbutt (at the same time). Before it crashed I was having a good time trying to find the broken equipment, good job!

Nice and clean graphics! The 3-D pixel art theme is very cool, and I also liked the music! I think implementing an option to adjust mouse sensitivity for the player would be a nice addition. Perhaps the indications of what you could interact with could be a little more obvious? Definitely has a lot of potential. Otherwise, I think this is a good job!

An interesting concept. Finding where the error is sounds familiar, maybe programming? haha ha

The graphics are really nice, I like the 3D half pixel art feel.

Sound is pretty good too.

Gameplay is simple and functional. It took me a while to figure out what to do, but then everything was ok.

Good job!

The game was awesome! I loved the graphics, but I always have that bit of anticipation to what will happen next. Maybe one or two jump scares would be nice, but without is it’s still good! Good job 👏!

The game looks and sounds amazing! The mouse sensitivity was a little bit too high for me and I have to admit I couldn't really figure out what I was supposed to do. I'd definitely play this again if there was a little more guidance, but overall - really great job!

I got the same error as mentioned above in Array.h when i "fixed a leak".

Crashed when I went to fix the radiation leaking pipe, other than that it was kindof fun to run around fixing things. Once I knew my way around it seemed pretty easy to stay on top of things - a longer game could work by switching up the repair mechanics over time and generally adding surprises (assuming you'd want it keep it a light comedy and not create a realistic sim!). Presentation and audio is good for a jam game.

I'm obsessed with your graphics! The game was good, but I don’t really understand what I have to do..
