There is a legendary golden item known as the Sun of God. It is said, were the Sun ever to be obtained by mortals, they and all those who assisted in its production would be showered with unending wealth. So it is that many architects joined forces, constructing the endless tower towards heaven necessary to complete the legendary item.

This is a multiplayer (in a sense) game. You control a single floor in one of many towers, receiving goods and buffs from allies below you (unless you ended up on the bottom). You build farms, factories, and helpful robots to gradually ascend the tech chain, or help those above you win. Save your current state to the server so that other people can build above you. You can create a new tower floor if you like as well.

HOW TO PLAY:

This is a complicated game about making stuff. Read the instructions. It is not possible (maybe?) to complete the game in a single floor. Your goal should be to take the items you are given and improve and output them for later players to use. Then save your floor, and do it again with another floor, making better items and production facilities. You should mess around with the various production units and try to figure out how they work. The learning is part of the fun. Keep in mind there is sometimes randomness. Post your discoveries in the comments, and especially post if you make a winning floor.

HOW TO START: (or watch the tutorial at http://www.twitch.tv/sockfolder/c/4990894)

The major tabs are on the left: General, Gardening, Chemistry, Mechanical, Workers. Select the worker tab, and select the first button at the bottom(robot). Click at the upper left and drag (making a red line) to the right side of the screen. Your worker should take the grapes and turn them in to the right for money.

Now, click the Gardening tab and select the first button on the bottom (farming). Select the spot in the second row, one column from the output on the right, and drag down. Select the second button on the bottom (grapes) and drag over the plots you created. You will see a grape + bag icon with a square around it. This means the farm needs to be seeded. The worker you created will seed the upper farm eventually.

Now, go back to the Worker tab and create another worker, one that moves up and down on the left side of the farm. He will seed the rest of the farm. Create another worker on the right side of the farm, also running vertically. He will turn in your grapes for money. Now you have an income. If you made a mistake, you can click the first tab (General) and select the second button (Coin), then click on things to sell them.

Your initial farm should look like the final screen shot.

You can now pick the other tabs and create some devices. Select a tab, then click a button on the bottom to select that device (if it is red, you don't have the resources to make it). Click in the game area to make that device. These take inputs (put them in the circle slots) and produce outputs (in the square slot). Only certain combinations are useful. The recipes are complex however. Some devices require a prerequisite item that must be delivered before the device will function. The buttons at the bottom show money cost (green), energy cost (yellow) and prereq (small icon on bottom right). You get energy by building power plants (Mechanical tab).

Some recipes create buffs (there are three possible buffs). These provide a boost locally, and then travel upwards to help those above you.

Your total score, energy, and money are shown in the bottom left. The level is how high in the tower you are. (Level 0 is the ground floor). You can exit to the main menu and restart to get a new floor, which will be at a new random level. Save floors after adding production, so later floors that either you and others create have a better start. You cannot re-enter a floor you have created after leaving it (sadly).
