Hard Reset by eott

[raw]
made by eott for LD 39 (JAM)

The universe is running out of power! Many generations of stars have used up most of the fusable elements and the expansion of space itself has pushed all but the closest systems out of reach forever. Only a handful of cold Red Dwarfs are still putting out usable energy. The only solution is to restart the universe!

In order to do that you will need to gather enough resources in the main system (named Alpha Black) to build the Q-Pinch; the device that will trigger the universe to restart and consume the old matter in the process. If you fail to build this device, the universe is doomed to suffer a slow and drawn-out Heat Death.

This game has no tutorial, so please make sure to read the manual before playing.

Hey, cool game! Was a bit tricky to understand at first but I managed to get it. I played several games but did not manage to beat it. Closest I got to building the Q-Pinch was 7e7 AM, 1e7 SM- it's pretty hard, you have to be fast.

It may be possible to simplify it a little by having only 1 circle each for SM and AM, so you don't need to remember which is the input and the output. Also it was a little annoying to not be able to cancel a flow line without placing it if I changed my mind.

Overall I enjoyed it :)

Very interesting concept. It took me a few times to figure it out, but overall I find the idea very interesting. I like the aesthetics, they are very fitting.

Enjoyed it a lot!

Very good concept. Hard to play on a scree this small. Can't see the whole picture. Also it would be better if mouse leaving the screen would be processed correctly. Or just adding keyboard movement for the screen wold help. Cancellation for adding the flow line would be nice also.
