Jerry and the Sunlight
_The temperature on the planet has risen dramatically, and the sun is emitting deadly gamma rays, forcing people to live underground. However, they need to harvest the sunlight in order to power their homes._
_Play Jerry, a technician living underground, and guide the mirrors to direct the sunlight to the generator using your remote control._
This was initially supposed to be a COMPO entry, but I ran out of time. Didn't have time to create levels (there are only two tiny examples of levels unfortunately), the system is still incomplete and not without bugs, so it is more a technical proof of concept than an actual game.
Still happy to post it!
I will certainly continue working on this game after the jam as I have many ideas to complete on the initial idea.
Things that were planned but not included because not enough time
- The sunlight was supposed to be deadly gamma rays, so the player would be harmed and fail if touching it
- Platforms/doors that could interact with the remote control as well and allow for better puzzles
- Two mode for the remote control: short range (already implemented), and long range (not implemented) to switch all devices at the same time
How to play
- Keyboard: Arrows to move, Space to use the remote control
- Gamepad: Directional pad or stick, A to use the remote control

Some useful mechanics were missing to actually create a usable level though, but nothing I could implement within the jam time frame, so hopefully that will come in a post-jam version!
I hope you make a Post Jam version with more levels....really great game.
I would love to see a full game using this idea.
I could see puzzles where you have to position yourself right because all missord within your radius flip. Maybe you have to flip multiple at a time, etc.
A solid start.
