I played for about 20 minutes and I’m kind of addicted already.
The only thing I have to complain about is the lack of music and sound effects.
In my opinion this would be much more enjoyable with some audible feedback, I would play for at least 20 more minutes with that implemented, guaranteed.
**Overall** I loved this game and had an amazing time playing it!
Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future!
Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

With a little work, this game could be very fun. Good job!
Original idea and nice art, it's sad that there is no music in the game, it would add much charm to the game.
It would be cool to see how and at what rate solar points earned during day time convert to building points at night.
I think this little game could become something bigger with more types of generators and music
But I think this can turn out a good mobile game if you keep working on it!
Very simple rules and mechanics, but very captivatineg and also a bit educational to make you realize that the location of your power plants matter.
Love the 'green vibe' of this game, solar, wind and water are the future, whatever the clown with the yellow wig says ;)
I thouroughly enjoyed playing this game, i was halfway throught my second pass through the levels when i realized that they were automatically restarting from level 1, lol.
Very well done indeed!!!
- the game is easy to understand and the gameplay and the mechanics works well and are simple.
- the concept itself is good and uses the theme fairly well
Some stuff to improve on:
- it wasn't very exciting. You might want to consider adding some challenge, enemies, something to make the game more intense or so that the player feels like they've achieved something. Right now it's more like there's no way to lose, no penalty for anything.
- the wait during the day felt too long since there was nothing to do
As for the audio, it's a shame there's no sound, I think it would have helped the game with its atmosphere tremendously. Some relaxing music would have set the feeling from the start.
The art was decent, although if I were you, I would have changed the background because it wasn't clear what it was supposed to be (I figured it was either a horizon and the items were just flowing in the air, or a sea and a land. It's a minor thing but would have helped you with the visuals a lot)
All in all, this is a decent entry, with a few changes you could turn it into a pretty interesting game!
