POWER TRANSFORMER by tranzeve

made by tranzeve for LD 39 (JAM)

Multiple US cities have been hit with simultaneous power grid failures. We are RUNNING OUT OF POWER. The government has tasked YOU—a PowerTransformer—to put as many windmills as you can back in operation in a limited amount of time in order to get power restored to a maximum number of households.

The web application version was developed using JavaScript, Processing.js, and a BOX2D.js port. This BOX2D physics-based video game was also developed using Java, Processing, and BOX2D for native application versions of for MacOSx, Windows64, Windows32, and LINUX.

Thank you for playing this game.

So, restoring a windmill = hitting it hard? Haha I didn't get how the story matched the gameplay exactly (maybe the power of entropy?) I guess the score increases the more you shoot windmill pictures.

Things didn't make too much sense to me, but I kept playing with the toy until the end of the 2 min limit. Maybe a countdown would have fit better to make things a *little bit* less obscure.

Overall the game seems unfinished, but hopefully you had fun making it! Keep jamming!

I had a lot of fun sling-shotting the robot transformer around! My score was 186 after two minutes. I could tell that using Box2D was a definite improvement over some of your earlier games. It felt much more stable, and the physics looked very realistic. I'm always amazed at what you can make in Processing!
