Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure why it's not letting you past the title screen...all you should need to do is click the Start button.

Perhaps pacing the tutorial differently, or adding a first screen that's like &quot;This is a game about draining energy from appliances into batteries&quot; and being able reactive the tutorial through [?] ingame. I'm saying that because this was a pretty novel gameplay concept for me. :) \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I, like SLiV, felt that the difficulty scaled pretty quickly and never managed to successfully steal a 5+ energy. Despite that, it's a creative game with a solid execution and nice mood thanks to the lighting."},{"author_name":"triplefox","author_uid":"391","time":"Dec 25, 2011 @ 4:09pm","epoch":1324829040,"text":"Like the concept.
