You are POV, and you must launch the Ludum Dare theme at 04:00 Helsinki time! Which is some other time in other places, but no one cares about those other places.
So it's 3:55 and of course, the server is running out of power. Because everyone wants to know the theme!
You must push the 6 buttons to launch the theme, but you must also keep the power going! Oh noes!
- Please do not rate the audio. Because it is basically nonexistent, and _IF_ I have time to add some that is not completely horrid (which will take at least 3 months, estimated) then I will do so at the END of the jam.
- To the full extent of the jam.
- Yes this is silly.
- I hope people enjoy the concept, and, well, it may get fleshed out a bit more with some more time in the coming weeks. And released on c64, perhaps, at Zoo 2017.

a Team (" game!

I was the only team member who worked on this game.
why is this editor light grey on white

This is uploaded in the state that it is, which is MILDLY playable. It is about ... it could use a day or two more. I.e. if this would have been worked on during all days, instead of my birthday and the beer festival that happened to also be here on my birthday, then... well.
- As it is, thereś a game which is further along than any of my other LD attempts, and weŕe sticking with it. I hope someone (hi POV) gets a kick out of it.
- I may just port this to c64. In a more 'finished' state. With, you know. The ability to actually upgrade servers (:
- an instruction sheet is sorely needed, I may add that below when I am done fixing up the hosting for the file

The status board up top shows your money and the server status.
The numbers in the center show the total hits per second, the needed power, the total power available, and the production of your critters.
the 4 machines with critters in them are the wheels that are fueling the servers! Keep the critters fed.
Sadly the renegade master's awesome ill behavior screen is not in the game. yet.
Move to the doors on the sides to go to the other room with the c64 where you can make purchases and tweet.
Tweet for donations! (Sadly this part of the game is very much unfinished.)
Purchase food and carry it to the critters in the wheels.
Upgrade your critters and your servers
Keep people happy!
Make it to 4:00 Helsinki time to see the amazing clock failover bug!
controls
move pov around with the arrow keys.
move the menu with up/down.
use Z (or Y, I think pico-8 adjusts for QWERTZ and AZERTY) to purchase and drop food on the critters.
theoretically see the end concepts that could have made it into the game had I not had tons of birthday beers!
