Business simulation game. Build factories and rack up the money. But watch out for those shameless chimneys, they might ruin your day* **.
_____
* - air quality does not influence profits.
** - if anyone is wondering this subtle environmentalism is the Theme.
Controls:
[A] or [1] - build Factory type A
[B] or [2] - build Factory type B
[C] or [3] - build Factory type C
[U] or [space] - upgrade selected factory
[D] or [backspace] - demolish selected factory
[left] & [right] - move placeholder/factory selector
[I]- show/hide FPS
[M]- mute/unmute music
Quick tutorial:
Start by building Type A factory (press [A]) in any slot, it will start to purchase
"Fundamentals", transform them into "Components" and sell those.

About web version:
a) Please don't use page zoom - it messes up my poorly-put- together layout
b) Might not work on macOSX, please use standalone version

Made using:
- Unity
- Microsoft Visual Studio Express
- Paint.net

Just my opinion: I think pt and click control would make it easier to play
You can play with mouse, forgot to explain:
a) clicking in upper half of screen -selects-slot-
b) in lower right quadrant there are:
b1) if factory is not selected: -build- links
b2) if factory is selected: -upgrade- and -demolish- links
Links do not have hover effect.
Is there another effect from the smog besides the graying background?
I really like the visuals and music. Very bleak and urban.
The graphics and UI are really nice, I really like the way buildings are built, it's clean, innovative, and quite satisfying.
Like Nichii said the down side is that there's not much strategy in play here. What might make the game really awesome is to simply make the buy/selling prices vary with time: build too much of the same thing and your goods will lose their value in favor of other products. The goal would be then to find the perfect balance for maximum and stable profit.
Overall it's a nice and well polished entry, congrats!
I actually left this running and switched between the other entries I am playing and keep coming back to it. good work
Cool looking for such a simple interface. Also the sad music fits the message perfectly.
Just not sure how it fits the theme...
