Icebroken by merzlot
Icebreaker L-D39 suffers a nuclear reactor malfunction. You must reach safety before the crew freezes to death. Conserve energy, but keep moving, or your ship will be trapped in ice; maintain sane heating levels so your crew doesn't get sick; every once in a while reroute power to the galley to supply enough food; make sure any injury or sickness receives adequate treatment in the sick bay. And always remember that overloaded reactor degrades faster.

The game can get quite difficult especially with crew members hugging boilers!
overall a very good idea and the art style is clean and colourful :D
Are the crew members any use btw? I managed to kill 7/8 and got quite far (about 80%) as it was a lot easier to keep one dude alive without spending to much energy...
It's really hard and I couldn't manage to get to safety, but I enjoyed the experience!
At first, I wasn't really sure in how to play (the initial 'controls' screen was a little overwhelming), but after some interactions here and there I kind of got it. My favourite bit was switching the light on/off (and the npcs tripping off lol).
Okay, I will admit this: I'm awfully bad at management games like this one, in my best run I get about 75% to the end, but it was a rather enjoyable experience nonetheless.
Great ice/heat effects and art overall.
Couple of questions:
- Is there any dependency on the crew count and production speed?
- Is there any purpose for the sleeping room?
I did a playthrough:

Just look at Paul and Erasmus at 1:22 :smile:
Sometimes I forget to turn off some devices, and I think the highlight effect is a bit shy. Also could have been nice to have some sound effects/background music.
Overall you did a very good job!
The graphics are well done and I really love the concept (nice take of the theme). The sound effects create a nice atmosphere. The gameplay is enjoyable and I really have nothing to blame considering it's a jam! Id' like to see more of this game!
Good job, congratulations!
