I liked that Portland, Oregon is in North Africa. LOL
Reviews for "Geneva Convection"
Hard to figure out, and kind of slow once you do figure it out, but I still had a little fun. Judging by the other reviews, it needs a win condition. Perhaps one last, game winning upgrade that makes the death ray powerful enough to blow up the earth would do.
A few playing tips: When a valve shifts, there will be a hiss, and big white lines will be emitted from the valve that is shifting. The thing that directly determines how much the generator or capacitor is being cooled is apparently neither the temperature of a cooling room nor the position of its valve, but how many dots are flowing through a light blue pipe connected to the room. It is possible to save the death ray after the capacitor blows up, but you must not waste any time. After turning the cooling rooms, immediately turn the control room valve all the way and fire when it says fire. If the capacitor blows too soon, it's probably overcharged in which case your only possible hope is for the generator to blow up before the ray gets too hot and THEN to repair the capacitor and then quickly repair the generator.
I think It's very good game and the idea is amazing but it's impossible to play and you can't fix the generator or capacitor but the idea is great I loved it ,just a little advice as soon as the generator or capacitor start jamming try to open the capacitor monitor room knob or the generator monitor room knob that will help to prevent it from going down, great game :)
1. Turn off the monitors. They mostly distract you.
2. Run the cooling units a little hot. The capacitor and generator can never be too cool
3. Turn off the research lab, command center, and launch pad unless you are using them.
4. Spend at least half your money improving capacity and launching satellites until you have plenty of targets.
5. Once you have launched all three satellites, break the launch pad.
6. DO NOT increase power until you have bought all the valves you need.
IF THE GENERATOR/CAPACITOR BREAKS:
1. Fix the capacitor
2. Turn the capacitor cooling way up
3. Fix the generator
4. Turn the generator cooling way up
5. Stabilize the cooling units
Very cool graphics, but tough to manage, and not very rewarding. After you get the hang of the controls, most of the game is just waiting for your laser to load. A lot.
This is an interesting concept which should by all means be a great game. The problem is that you have almost no time to react. Your capacitor room overheats and then well... you're fucked. You can't repair it and can't do anything but wait to blow up. If you gave some time to react, and made it repairable you would have a decent game. But as it stands now, that is a MAJOR issue with it.
