This was really fun! It's a hectic game but fun to try and keep up with! Although I wasn't able to tell if I was making money from the windmill or not :(

Good work. Fun little game to train multitasking. Animation is fluid even the transition to new power sources.

Windmill is probably the hardest one.

Super frantic gameplay. I am not a multitasker and I didn't beat it, but I can see how I would spend a while getting good at it to try and finish it.

I couldn't beat it but I sure gave it my best a few times. It's a great multitasking game. Trying to focus on everything is a fun challenge and the artwork and transitions are really nice. It's simple in concept, challenging in gameplay, and all around enjoyable. Great use of the theme.

Super fun! Though I only got barely over 25k.

I like the "Please No" button :>

Wow this was super interesting! One of the most unique games I've played so far.

I personally would never make a game like this for game jam because you have to get all the little audio and graphical cues polished up perfectly. Somehow, you managed to do that. It felt really cool getting into a rhythm and raking in cash.

Couldn't beat it, but I really liked it overall. Nice game!

This was fun! Great job. I really liked the mechanics and the theme. Art is solid, gameplay challenging but simple, and a WONDERFUL take on the LD theme! Good luck.

This was so tough! The theme kindof lost its way here, but generating power is at least connected and you tried something different. For what it was, though, it was a good version of this kind of game, and it might have worked better for me if it was a little slower-paced. The game looked good and simple, just what I would expect from something like it. The sounds were simple, but they helped communicate what was going on.

Definitely one of the better games I've played so far. had a smile as soon as I realized just how ridiculous it was getting (granted, didn't win, but still had fun)

Very good game, I was surprised to see that it was done in compo. Good and simple graphics, not a bad sound and a fun and challenging gameplay. :)

This was a pretty fun! Multi-tasking games are always great, and the overlaying goal that was kind of it's own multi-tasking thing was great too! Great art, and sounds were pretty solid.

This was a really fun game. It got kind of stressful managing all the different forms of power as more were added but that just added to the fun! I'll eventually manage to win a game :D Great job!

A pretty difficult multitasking game that requires a lot of different mechanical skills and actually gets really difficult! It seems the strategy in waiting to buy things is largely overshadowed by the fact that the more expensive technologies are just way more profitable. The graphics do a great job of communicating to the player what they need to do! The audio was a bit simple, might have been nice to have a few more audio cues. Wasn't a great use of the theme I think, energy generation and earning money didn't seem like "running out of power" to me.

Very fun game. Trying to manage all the different power sources at the same time proved to be very challenging. I liked the audio a lot, but some music could've helped. Overall solid game!
