Not sure if i can call it a game. But see for yourself :-) Link is for the game and the code.
Instructions: Just dont let the Powerbar go down. To prevent this click the lights turn the buttons and collect the crates with the plus symbol.

The gameplay itself is a bit confusing. I wasn't able to figure out when I should be turning the knobs or when I should be pressing the buttons.
For your first game and doing it during a game jam, this is great!
Things I liked:
The Gameplay- I really liked having multiple things going on at once. It made the gameplay tense, and made you always look around and think. It reminds me of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes in a way. I think you also balanced the game very well. I failed my first few times, but eventually I managed to win.
The Design- While maybe you don't have the best artwork, I love the layout and design of the screen. It's like a control panel out of Star Trek with different indicators knobs and screens that I constantly have to monitor.
Things I didn't like:
Lack of Sound- I understand this is your first game, but I would have at least liked some sound. You can download programs like Bosca Ceoil or Audacity to make some basic music/sound fx in a short time.
Polish- The beginning screen could use a bit of polish. I wish you had chosen to use a more attractive font and changed up the color palette a bit.
Overall you should be very proud of your first game! I wish you the best of luck in the future! If you want to ask me any questions or hear my opinions more, let me know :)
