NucularScience

Management/design game for GBA Jam 2021 inspired by Reactor Incrememental, written in C++20 using the butano engine by GValiente.

Story

Create a reactor that won't overheat, leave it running for a night, sell the power it produced, then upgrade your components and do it all again!
Your goal is to unlock the ultimate power source and use it, just once is fine to beat the game.
Depending on your luck, you can get stuck without money! Just leave the reactor empty for the day to go look for cash elsewhere.
