More about this game
Your goal is to fix as many blackouts as possible in 60 seconds while keeping three waiting customers happy. The core loop involves swiping to pull a generator cord when a moving needle hits the green zone, then memorizing and repeating a sequence of flashing breakers. Each restored blackout adds 100 points to your score and replenishes customer patience. The game ends if the 60-second timer runs out or if all three customers lose their patience and leave, giving you three strikes.
Tips
- A good pull adds 25% charge, but pulling outside the green zone costs you 10% and shakes the machine.
- If you mess up the breaker pattern, you only need one good pull to reach 100% charge from 75% to try again.
- Restoring power gives you a patience bonus based on remaining customer patience, so prioritize speed to keep customers from leaving and maximize your score.
Questions
How do I start the generator?
Swipe up on the cord handle when the needle on the gauge is in the green zone. You need four successful pulls to reach 100% power and move to the breaker panel.
What happens if a customer leaves?
If a customer's patience bar runs out, they leave and you get a strike. If you get three strikes, your shift ends immediately, even if you have time left on the 60-second clock.
Why did the breaker pattern reset?
If you tap the wrong breaker in the sequence, the panel trips and drops your charge to 75%. You will need to pull the generator cord one more time to try the pattern again.
