Aeolipile is an abstract idle engine building game. The core of the engine can generate and shoot out an energy every 10 seconds. The goal is to convert that energy into other components. Multiple converters are placed throughout the engine to collect energy and allow you to place modifiers in the engine. The modifiers cost varying amounts based on their usefulness.

Modifiers

Rotator Left/Right - Rotates the current direction of the energy 90 degrees to the left/right - 2 Energy

Pointers N/S/E/W - Forces the direction of the energy in the direction of the pointer - 10 Energy

Duplicator - Turns one energy into two, outputs at 90 degree opposing directions - 10 Energy

Speeder - Drastically increases the speed of an energy, can break orange blocks - 50 Energy

Slower - Drastically decreases the speed of an energy, can break blue blocks - 50 Energy

Orbiter CW/CCW - Captures an energy and forces it to orbit around itself Clockwise and Counterclockwise option - 75 Energy

Triplicator - Turns one energy into three, outputs in 3 90 degree directions - 200 Energy

Orange and Blue Blocks

The orange and blue blocks can be destroyed by energy if it has been through a Speeder or Slower modifier. Once destroyed they will respawn after some time. 15 seconds for blue, 5 seconds for orange.
