Pond Tycoon - Powered by Waves! - Finished 1st place in Sony Hackathon in Sweden -
In Pond Tycoon you generate electricity by wave power. The supplied power will in turn generate "power charges" for which you can buy both more generators and Oscillomatic devices to help you generate even more power.
Crank it up over 9000W! How fast can you be?
CONTROLS: - Click the water really fast, close to the generators - Some locations may be more strategic due to the nature of wave physics - As soon as you can afford, buy generators and Oscillomatics - Keep clicking and dragging on the water - Fill the power meter over 9000!!
IMPROVED VERSION: - Has highscore list
UPCOMING FEATURES: - SmartWatch 2 widget to show your power
I spent more time than I'd care to admit playing this awesome game, the visuals and audio were well matched, gameplay straightforward, and best of all really fun!
Great game, great music and great graphics. But what about the theme? I guess there is the surface of the water, not that it really matters. Oh and greetings from Visby/Gotland.
Reinkout: Not sure if you missed that you can buy both generators and Oscillomatics which in a good combination youd get you well to 9001 if placed out. And click or drag the surface at the same time. If that doesn't do the trick it might perhaps be an unknown bug.
Mstrp2ez: Thanks! Yeah, I know the theme connection is kind of weak, I hope I can still earn a few good votes in the other categories. And greetings from Karlskrona! Take care ;)
Everyone else: Thanks for all your comments! It's great to hear, and if you want to hear more happy chiptunes, search for Robinerd on spotify or youtube :) Thanks all!

I got 3:57.4 I love your music!! Innovative idea and fun to play. Kind of game I like to see more.
All this time I'm playing this I'm thinking "what are the fish in the pond going to feel like"? Awesome ripple effects! I saw your blog post during the 48 hours and definitely was looking forward to seeing it in action :D
I wasnt sure what to do, but I love the water mechanics! I included it in part 23 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/yJ4mg8nxxfM
I like the look and feel, but even as a guy who is into this kinda thing I couldn't tell if I was trying to generate just osiclation of waves or a rotating oscilation of waves or a generator at points of constructive/destructive interference.
Love the look/feel of the game, also it is innovative and my lack of full grasping could be that I'm super tired right now.
