Interdimensional Click
About
Interdimensional Inc, tries to overcome the energy crisis by shooting laser beams at a space/time anomaly, but it becomes unstable and is only 3 minutes away from exploding.
Your mission is to get enough energy to repair the anomaly and save the day, the problem is that 3 minutes is not enough time.
Luckily, you can travel interdimensionally, go back in time to help you, and thus save the day.
A simple and short game, created for the Jam, I have tried to take care of the experience, trying to make the game have an ending, this is not normal in this genre, but having so little development time, I hope it fulfills its mission.
The game has a small manual that is displayed when you start playing, it is best that you read it.
But in summary:
On the right side you have 3 buttons.
- The one in the middle is to open the door and start harvesting energy.
- The bottom one is used to close the door, you can't harvest, but you can buy upgrades.
- The one above allows you to travel in time to help you.
- Time only decreases when the door is open.
- Closing the door consumes energy, the more times you close the door, the more energy you will need to close it.
- The anomaly gives twice as much energy in the center, but only half as much at the edges.
- Each laser shot has a time and area, if you shoot a second laser that overlaps the first, you will receive less energy, so you must move the cursor between shots.
Depending on which upgrades you buy and how you use interdimensional travel it is possible to finish the game without dying, but it took me several tries. I hope the game isn't frustrating, but it's not too easy either, however given the short time for testing, it's hard to tell how difficult or easy the game currently is.
