Entry for Ludum Dare Game Jam 46.

Theme: Keep it alive

In Sector 7G you are in charge of building / upgrading a nuclear reactor and its cooling system. Keep the town alive by providing enough energy to satisfy its demand and avoid the reactor from overheating and thus exploding.

This game was developed in roughly 48 hours with 2 people working on it (Kenneth "KennuX" Ellersdorfer and Daniele Marotta).

Some gameplay information (we ran out of time to make an interactive tutorial):
- The game is paused initially, you can control the game speed at the top-left controls

- Buy parts from the store by clicking them in the store and placing them in the grid
- Right-click parts in the grid to delete them (NO REFUND!)
- Click parts in the grid to move them, click again to re-place

- You will loose if the reactor explodes (a cell becomes too hot [> 200°C]) or you do not meet the energy demand for longer than 20 seconds (this scales with game speed setting)

Some gotcha's:
- I can't place an item from the store in the grid!
-> Do you have enough money to buy it (sorry, we ran out of time and there is no good user feedback)
