This game is an unfinished prototype for Ludum Dare 56. You can test out the most important real-time music mechanics. I will continue working on this project because the idea is quite fun. Thanks <3
It's the year 2450. Humans have found a species of tiny creatures that are extremely dangerous but can produce electricity more efficiently than any nuclear plant. One day a couple of years ago, one laboratory worker noticed that the creatures love human music.
That's where the idea for Papufel Energy Inc. originally came from! Welcome to our family of happy workers. You're the Papufel orchestra's leader now!
Check the control panel on your desk for instructions. Don't push them too hard, but don't be too gentle. Our ever-growing city needs electricity.
Good luck!

Unfinished parts / notes:
- Shifts don't progress
- Win/Lose conditions don't work yet
- MWhs or time don't matter in the game yet, it is completely unfinished BUT it's fun to play with the song mechanics
- You cannot progress in the game yet, you can only test out the song mechanics
- If you want to go back from the virtual screen, press Escape
The game is unfinished and has bugs, but have fun with the music mechanics!
The point was for the player to be a worker at Papufel Energy Inc. In the finished version, you'd have to balance between generating enough energy during your shift and still keeping the Papufel happy. I wasn't unfortunately able to finish the core loop, but I hope to keep on working on this project. Please follow me on my socials, I'll keep you all posted on how things are going!

Development Note
This is just a proof of concept and the main things that work are the music stem system, real-time mixing, visuals, and aggression + energy level meters.
