Merge 3 identical items to create a higher level version of that item. You can get items from places by sending a robot there.

• Mines (pickaxe) - provides ore -> gears -> robots
• Beach (shovel) - provides sand -> glass -> solar panels
• Research (plants) - provides Data, needed for uncovering more of the island.

You can right click on a robot to wake it up, and then give it commands. You must put it back to sleep before you can merge it.

Controls

• left click - drag to merge
• right click - give robots instructions

Protip! - merging 3 gets you one new item, but merging 5 gets you two!

So as ever, the scope was too big, I didn’t get the central mechanics working until the final hours, and had to cut most the content. Probably should’ve known better on a solo jam!
