In most idle games you click freely, here every click stokes the reactor toward a meltdown.
Was this fun?
How to play
Build up lifetime power to reach the goal, but each GENERATE press also adds heat. Cross the meltdown threshold and the reactor scrams, costing you progress.
Generate power, but watch heat climb with every press
Cooling slowly bleeds heat back down between presses
Buy upgrades to raise the threshold and add passive output
Controls
Desktop: click GENERATE and click upgrade buttons
Phone & tablet: full touch support, tap to generate and upgrade
Game modes
Daily: a seeded run shared by all players
Practice: a random run
Tips & strategy
Pulse and pause, let cooling catch up before the next burst
Prioritise fins and cooling upgrades early to widen your safe zone
An auto-generate upgrade frees you to focus on heat management
