What it does

Reactor Panic is a fast, retro CRT-style arcade game for iOS and Android. Sort unstable reactor cores, chase clearance ranks, survive daily audits, compete on leaderboards, and try not to let the whole reactor melt down.

Play in your browser

The reactor is filling up and it's your job to keep it from melting down. Plasma cores drop into the containment tubes on a timer - sort them by colour into clean stacks. A full, pure tube auto-ejects, scores points, and cools things down. Let the tubes clog and instability climbs to 100%... and the whole thing goes. It starts simple and turns frantic fast: chain ejections for combo multipliers, work around locked cores that won't budge, gamble on wild cores that match anything, and hit OVERCLOCK for double points when you're feeling brave. MADE WITH NO ASSETS Every visual is drawn in code, every sound effect is synthesized from waveforms, and the music is generated at runtime — there…from forcesensitivesaiyan.itch.io

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
