Feed the Reactor

Eh? It's okay, I guess. At no point did I feel excited or like I puzzled something out. I got all achievements except for one after 2.6 hours. I only bought it because I generally enjoyed the dev's other game Journey to Incrementalia.

Short but good Get it on sale

A short but surprisingly solid incremental game. Feed the Reactor delivers quick, satisfying progression and a clean visual design that makes the whole experience feel snappy and rewarding. One thing I personally want to highlight is the prestige system. Unlike many classic idle/incremental titles that reset everything back to zero, this one only wipes your resources and selected upgrades. Your core progress stays intact, which makes prestiging feel like a strategic choice rather than a punishment. It’s a refreshing twist that keeps the pacing smooth instead of frustrating. On the downside, the story exists… technically. I won’t spoil anything, but let’s just say it doesn’t make much sense and mostly feels like an attempt to add a bit of lore rather than a coherent narrative. It’s not harmful, just not meaningful. Another issue is that certain parts of the game can be rushed too quickly. When that happens, the intended mechanics blur together and lose some of their impact. A bit more balancing would help maintain the pacing the game otherwise handles well. Additional notes: - UI clarity is good, though some menus could use more visual hierarchy. - Sound design is minimal but functional — nothing distracting, nothing memorable. - Replay value depends heavily on how much you enjoy optimizing numbers and loops. Conclusion A compact, well‑designed incremental game with a standout prestige system and fast progression. The story is weak and some sections can be rushed too easily, but if you enjoy watching numbers climb and systems unfold, this is a fun little title worth your time — especially at a low price point.

Lots of clicking - having to change between fuel types. I didn't think this was a clicker. There is meant to be a 'Sequencer' - but I don't know how far into the game it is and I am near the 2 hour refund window, I also don't know if clicking will become important again later.

reactir was well fed

It let me reset without telling me that I would get 0 currency for that. Not playing that from scratch again, wasn't that fun anyways.

At first this feels pretty standard for this genre of game, but by the end of my playtime I had an experience with this that delighted me. After getting into the hundreds of materials budget, it at some point does feel like I'm tinkering with some kind of exotic matter engine. Some later upgrades allow the particles to behave with each other in totally new ways and arrange into emergent patterns, trying to discover new chemistries to push out maximum power. At a couple points I did something by accident and just watched an interaction I hadn't thought of happen, then use that in a new setup. The story isn't anything elaborate but I found it pretty entertaining, and the thematics of the space travel manage to come through. Unexpectedly quality piece right hur
