Very ambitious! Power of gravity, different types of energy to power stuff... it works mechanically and thematically with the moral sub-text.

How does your game represent "Power"?
Astral Avarice represents “Power” on two levels. It is literally a power-grid building game; but also, the player’s character is a power-hungry executive with eyes for nothing but profit. It is about both supplying power to others and taking it for yourself.

Nice dual interpretation of the theme. This is the kind of game that I feel needs a guided tutorial and I’m glad that one was delivered so comprehensively which is rare for jam games. I enjoyed the little details and humour in the building descriptions. Very impressive depth to this game overall, great work!

Hold the FortA ton of depth at play here, really impressed that this is a jam game - this is something that with a little refinement and player feedback could be a full steam release - I know the levels are curated but could also be interesting in a roguelite format. Nice work!

Fugue Shot (Jam Version)A week?!? You built this in a WEEK?! This is a fully fleshed out space management sim. With not one but TWO easy to follow tutorials. I'm honestly gob-smacked. The fact you managed to also make it fun to actually play is the cherry on top. It doesn't get lost in the sauce like some management sims do. The gravity mechanic literally made me do one of these 😨 several times. Great job, great game!

POWER SUCKERSThis is genuinely one of my favorite games so far. Numbers, a bit of strategy, a detailed tutorial, varying levels, amazingly done! Great job!

Aether Core IndustriesThis is cool. The art reminds me of old flash games I would play on newgrounds when I was young :')
And with the complex yet satisfying gameplay, I very much appreciate the nice tutorial!

Grip of PowerReally well done in the time frame. I am not the person to rate these kinds of games, as they're definitely not my forte, but in the time had the polish is really well done. There's music, sfx, great art, and awesome functionality. Very cool!
