Hello internet, welcome to my Ludum Dare Jam 39 entry page.

Game

I made a simple game where you generate power to survive. There are total 5 power generators to manage. You can generate power by inserting power core in to power generator. Else, it will slowly consume power. If power generator loses all the power, it will generate heat. Heat will stack and won't go off ever. If it reaches max, game over. The goal of game is to keep alive. Collect exp and upgrade to survive longer.

I wish I had more time. Or be more efficient at least. I had to trim lots of small ideas to keep simple enough to finish this alone. I think game didn't turn out as fun as I expected, but at least I made something!
Overall, I did quite well compared to my first and second Ludum Dare.

I will post postmortem after some sleep :)

It was really not obvious what I was supposed to do. I had one "power core" but lots of generators to put it in? The heat meter went up, but I had no idea why or how to stop it. The graphics/art were great. The music was minimal, but fit well.

Nice game! Graphics are cool. Need to add more power cores (maybe some different ones as the type of generator requires). Some effects will help you with the game feel.

I had some trouble understanding exactly what it was that I was supposed to do. Regardless, I congratulate you on your atmosphere, as I enjoyed the graphics and sound very much!

Once I got how the game worked, it's a really nice experience to play it! The visuals look really nice and the soundtrack does blend well with it, which creates a nice mood, but kinda tense, mostly because how you're fighting against time to keep everything up and running! ;)

Controls worked really nice and the use of theme was really creative!

Good job there! ;)
