The cities of the world are in danger! Help them by shifting resources from a city to another!

Tronnected is a puzzle game.
You have to link cities to make sure each one has the resources it needs.
There is 3 types of resources: Food, Technology and Money.

Controls:
- mouse click to select a city then click on a link (thin line) to build it
- mouse wheel to change the link type

- 'm' to mute
- 'b' to go to the previous level
- ('n' to go to the next level, but don't use it!)

Needs a recent browser, WebGL and WebAudio are used. Chrome and Firefox recommended.
The game engine is Drystal (drystal.github.io), made by me for Lumdare Dare.
Musics have been generated by autotracker.py.

the mouse wheel part was not explained in the tutorial, but i figured it out after i came back here and read these instructions.

but when i clicked on boston and then philadelphia, there was a connection with ney work (or waa there? gray thin lines)

hephaestus_rg: the thin lines represent the links you can add. Hover the line and click to add it. Make sure to use the correct link type. Have fun!

The game definitely needs to explain that you build links by clicking the lines, I didn't figure that out until I came back here to read the comments. Otherwise it's a cool little game, good work!

I liked and finished it!
If I'd make one adjustment it would be to make the lines thicker so they would be easier to click.

I rescued the cities \o/ and had fun \o/ and blinked, and orcs, and such.. -- nice game :) (made a similar path finding game thing for ld#29)

Cool game.

This was really great, awesome puzzle game! Kind of wish there were more levels, though. Good job!

Not bad. Took me a while to figure out that you had to click on the links to make them though.

Once I figured out what was going on, fun puzzle!

very very cool idea, I really enjoyed it! Love setting up trade routes and such :)

it would be nice if the game give you a hit that you need to click at a link.

Hi there. Interesting game. The thin lines are a bit awkward to click, the set link type mechanism is tricky - it might just be me. Great to see a tutorial. Good job!

Simple but interesting game, could use more dynamics and levels to expand onto that concept. Would be great to see an actual map with 20 cities or so to connect :)

Interesting. Clear, simple and effective concept. Amazing with a 48h deadline ! Well done

Nice entry, at first a little bit difficult to understand, and I don't know if there is a way to change link types, but it would be nice to be able to.
