Reactor Overload
Every idle game trains you to love a number going up. This one can kill you. Push the reactor dial for exponential energy — but instability climbs even faster, and at 100 the core melts down and takes half your energy with it. The dial only goes up.
The tension is one lever:
- ▲ PUSH — each step multiplies output (P^1.6) and the danger (P−1)^1.8. No going back down.
- ❄️ VENT — dump the instability… but production pauses while you do.
- 🔧 Upgrade — capacitors, coolant, containment, and an auto-vent robot that saves you at 85%.
- ⚛ Decommission — scrap a maxed reactor for a permanent core (+25% output forever).
Offline progress accrues at a safe idle. Save is automatic. It’s a two-minute loop that turns "just one more push" into a genuine gamble.
Free, no install, plays in your browser. Reskin the whole thing from one config file — volcano god, overclocked GPU, sourdough starter, anywhere growth and risk share a lever.

cool but is this ai generated? it looks ai generated just saying
Wait I was first lol whoops forgot to say first :P
also you should make infinite push levels I wanna be able to be P100qNo
or P1e592.82
wait lol this game is brand new no wonder it's so short
yeetus
oh alright. you should make more upgrades.
Upgrade ideas: upgrade that boost max push, upgrade that reduces the reduce of gain white venting, unlock the cube, reduce meltdown energy loss, and a upgrade tree out of hexagons.
the cube you click on to get 1 cube click. your energy is multiplied by max(1, cbrt(cube click))
also who downvoted your message >:( it's a cool game (I upvoted it)
also make it that you can choose your abbreviation list
make sure to add a lot.
Examples: YesNo (Yes for positive number No for negative number Maybe for 0), custom (you make your own abbreviation system like if you wanted the abbrevions "" "PW" "qO" gK" and "fE" with "paQ" before the abbrevions and make it go into scientific after the last abbreviation you would put in "AaIS.paQ:;PW;qO;gK;fE"), scientific (I think you know), log (says the number like this: 1e+[log10(number)]), and more that you make
also add achievements and secret achievements (secret achievements aren't for incredibly late achievements, they are for doing things like clicking a secret achievement 1 time and you design the other secret achievements)
also what ai you used?
