The Hamster Engine
A mad scientist needs to create a new machine whose sole purpose is to pollute the planet. To complete his project, he needs power... He decided to use the most powerful thing of all... HAMSTERS!!
Manage and build modules on the machine while keeping your hamsters' stamina, health, and speed output under control. Fall below 0 power, and the machine will be destroyed along with the hopes and dreams of the scientist.
How to play:
Main Objective:
Build all 3 modules at the bottom of the machine using stored energy.
Gain stored energy by keeping the hamsters running on their wheels.
Drag and drop the hamsters in the wheel to start generating power.
Some modules allow for hamsters to be dropped in (experimental tank and spa) and they have different impacts on the hamster.
Don't let their stamina fall below 0 or they will start to take damage and die.
Buy upgrades in the first 2 rows of the machine to get special abilities and more hamsters.

The idea is quite creative, execution, is only meh.
It's kinda hard to know what's going on and what to do to not die, ya know?
Ok, yeah, we have gotten feedback that the text info at the beginning is a little too much. For the purposes of the game jam we were thinking of doing a voice-over and making a player take an action of buying a hamster before the energy starts draining. Are there other things that you think were "meh" that we could address
