You city is running out of power!
You were enrolled on a 5-days contract to provide it with some much-needed energy.
Use your drone to explore your environment (search for red fumaroles especially!) and invest in energy sources.
After some hours, the city will begin buying some energy. Its consumption (as shown by the red number) will then regularly grow, keep an eye on those counters!
For this 2-days Jam (I could not begin the compo on time) I focused on game mechanics and interactions:
* some economics (2 totally different resources),
* the passing of time (and a day/night cycle),
* a proper simulation of energy production and consumption,
* different possible strategies (each energy source has its characteristics),
* an "RTS style" interface with proper interactions between the UI panel and the game canvas.
The last point is the reason why I did not check "Do not rate me in Graphics", even if I had no time left for 3D assets and shaders, and it shows... Hope you'll like the strategy part though!
