Sacrifices are necessary!

In this colorful side-scrolling shooter, you will blast waves of enemies whilst only having limited power! Experience the need for strategic sacrifices as conditions impose the need for certain stats.

Right click on your reactor (gizmo thingy to the right) to modify stats, including Shield, Cooling Power, Elemental Power, Guns and Repair.

Additionally, on the game board is a bunch of tiles. Hold right click over a tile to enable it. Once enabled, the turrets can fire towards that tile. 

You can only shoot at active tiles; to target an enemy out of range, hold right-click to toggle on a tile. This way, aiming requires power!

Things to know:

Left-click to fire

Right-click to interact with the reactor.

Hold right-click to toggle aiming pads on/off.

Orange enemies can be damaged with normal projectiles, however blue enemies require elemental power. Increase the elemental stat to be able to damage blue enemies.

Certain configurations of stats are useful in different scenarios, and changing configurations will require sacrifice!

All stats and active tiles consume power. Ensure you don't go over your power supply.

This game was made for Ludum Dare 43 for the Compo (Solo) challenge in 48 hours. The theme was; Sacrifices must be made.
