How to play
- The opening overlay says Tap to Start.
- After starting, the main resource is energy measured in J.
- The first visible target is 5000 J during the TRANSITION phase.
- Infrastructure upgrades include Solar Panel at 15 J and Wind Turbine at 100 J.
Controls
- Tap the start overlay to enter the main energy screen.
- Tap the main button to generate energy manually.
- Use infrastructure buttons when the resource counter reaches the displayed cost.
Strategy tips
- Buy Solar Panel first because it is visible at 15 J and is cheaper than Wind Turbine.
- Do not wait for passive income at the beginning; replay showed 0.0 J/sec before upgrades.
- Treat 5000 J as the early phase milestone and plan upgrades around reaching it.
- If a button does not fire, confirm you have enough J before assuming the game is broken.
Common mistakes
- Waiting idle before buying any production source.
- Saving for Wind Turbine too early while Solar Panel is already affordable.
- Missing the phase and target text at the top of the screen.
