How does your game represent "Power"?
Dive into the high-stakes management of a nuclear power plant, where every decision impacts the energy flow. Besides the literal power in the power plant for this year's Big Mode Game Jam, we also wanted to highlight the power of responsibility. Manage the reactor, prevent outages, and keep the plant running. All actions will have consequences. Will you control the chaos or be consumed by it?

Cool little game with a lovely look that certainly proves that you should never ever lie in your resume because I didn't have a clue what I was doing a first couple of tries! Eventually I got a hang of certain mechanics, but I'm still far from being more competent than Homer Simspon. Nice little spin on the theme, well done!

Love the look and feel!  

I could have used a little bit of a tutorial since I skipped a few days of "Nuclear Power Plant Operation" class in school.   Some confusion is good, I do like the feeling of "red lights are flashing & I don't know why!",  but a quick rundown of what the basic systems at play are would have helped.

Beautiful game! Really like the style. A lot of stuff happening, was a bit overwhelming at first - lets just say my first few powerplants did not live a long life :D We had the same problem with our game

Was fun, thank you!

A fun yet stressful management game. Visually vary neat with a lot of flavor added through the news and phone calls. Well done.

Visually, this looks great. Gameplay wise, it took me a try or six to work it out but I did eventually find balance.

Top notch theme and presentation! I am a certified monkey but was able to run this nuclear power plant after only a few catastrophic meltdowns!
Note: The game seems to not work properly after retrying, needed to restart the application.

Im a big fan of technical FNAF and maxmode optimization / power management, and this scratches that itch really well. Great job!

Good job, love the concept and the presentation! Like FNAF in a nuclear power plant
