Unstable Machine LD49 by albertmixalev
This is my first jam. I started later because of work on weekends, but I tried to have time to implement the idea. I simplified a lot in the end, because this is my first experience and I could not calculate the time correctly. There is no music in the game, but I hope you enjoy the rest.
Stabilize the energy in the machine and find out its true purpose.

Cool game!
I will say though that I think the game could have used some more feedback when you actually hit the keys, probably some kind of sound queue. It just kind of feels weird to play a DDR type game in mostly complete silence.
The game is nice. The sound needs a little work, very loopy, lacking the soundtrack.
The gauges were impossible to track mid-game (especially the red one that I noticed only after I finished the level). Also it bothered me a bit that after the first level that I had to click "start" again, a little light or some other indicator would be nice.
Also found two tiny bugs:
- The gauges continued to drain as the last keys dropped after you completed the level.
- If you press q\w\e before the level starts, you will cause a level reset.
