More about this game
Your goal is to keep the gas station running for a 60-second shift. You must restore power by pulling a starter cord when the needle hits green, then memorizing and repeating a sequence of flashing breakers. Each blackout fixed restores customer patience and earns points. The game ends if the 60-second timer runs out, or if three customers lose patience and leave, resulting in three strikes.
Tips
- A good cord pull adds 25 percent charge, but missing the green zone costs you 10 percent. Time your swipes carefully to reach 100 percent quickly.
- The breaker sequence starts with two flashes and adds one more for each blackout you fix, up to a maximum of eight flashes to memorize.
- If you tap the wrong breaker, the system trips! You will drop to 75 percent charge and must pull the cord again before trying the sequence.
Questions
How do I get a strike?
You receive a strike when a customer's patience meter runs out completely and they leave the station. If you accumulate three strikes before the 60-second timer finishes, your shift ends early.
How is the score calculated?
You earn 100 points for every blackout you successfully fix. You also receive a bonus of up to 10 points per customer based on their remaining patience when power is restored.
Why did the breaker sequence reset?
If you tap the wrong breaker in the sequence, the system trips. You will have to pull the cord one more time to see the sequence again and continue.
