Cooling Tower

In most idle games you click freely — here every click stokes the reactor toward a meltdown.

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
