How To Play:

Windmills rotate COUNTER CLOCKWISE under normal conditions. They'll degrade over time. CLICK ON A WINDMILL and the Robo-Launcher 2034 will AUTOMATICALLY TARGET and FIRE a robot at the windmill. Start looking for the next windmill that needs your help.

Windmill will rotate CLOCKWISE while being repaired. The robots will over-charge windmills if left unattended. So, SHOOT 'EM AGAIN to knock the robots off.

Finally, the Robot-Launcher 2034 needs repair, too. CLICK-AND-HOLD on it to bring its health back.

Developer Notes:

Overall, I'm happy with what I've accomplished. I learned some new (to me) Unity techniques and brought a new game into the world... all in the span of 48 hours. I'd call that a win! I'm looking forward to checking out everyone's submissions :)

I didn't have the full weekend to dedicate to The Jam. Considering the time constraints, I wanted to keep the game's scope small. Needless to say, the actual code leaves a bit to be desired. Reduced hours means it's time to throw out my software engineering best practices and just start hacking.

When played on the Web, I've noticed that, on occasion, the background music doesn't always start playing and the audio, in general, tends to pop. If you experience music drop-out, try reloading the web page and/or pressing the [ESC] key to reload the game.
