NuclearCell by TsFreddie
Description
Year 2102, nuclear power has been integrated into household electronics. By charging it once, a battery can hold its charge for a life time. However, due to the complex design, nuclear powered batteries must be swiftly initialized before they reach an unstable low power state.
You have been assigned to factory initialize these devices. Good luck!
Goals
Charge up as much devices as possible:
- Select a cable
- Plug in the cable
- Plug in the power brick
- Profit?
Be careful, some devices might need some configuration before charging. A misconfigured device will blow up immediately if you plug it in.
Controls
Space = Select cables / Speed up
A, D = Move cables
Mouse Movement/Click = Drag power bricks
Mouse Movement/Click = Click on devices to view device's screen
Tips
- You need to learn the exact line up between power bricks and wall sockets, as they can be off center due to the prongs being off center.
- You can let the power brick fall and rotate a bit before catching it so you can see the prongs.
- Move the cable off-screen to discard the selected cable.
- If you want some challenge, starting from 2000 points the game will speed up significantly, It can take 10 devices to get there.
Changelog
- Fixed a type of socket which cannot be finished before.
- Reduced overall difficulty because friends can't get pass the first phone when we showed them the game.
- Fixed a problem where a phone can be plugged in twice.

Interesting idea though. Remind me not to get one of those phones.
The only problems a found is that there is only one chance to plug on the wall socket ! (and sometimes this is the right plug, but it did'nt works :sob: )
I had some bbug, like a phone that explode but didnnn't end the game or the that I have to shutdown before charge that I forget and be stuck (discharged, but not exploding and staying indefinitely)
