Photon Loop - Ludum Dare 47

Jump into the strange world of subatomic particles. Expand your photon loop by dragging connections to new nodes.

Reach the node of your destiny, but be careful to maintain your system’s energy levels, or risk fading out of existence.

Node types

• White node - no special effects.
• Red node - adds energy (speed) to photons passing though it.
• Yellow node - a beacon that will illuminate its surroundings the farther, the more photons are running though it
• Orange node - an even more powerful beacon, but it requires constant power, otherwise it shrinks
• Emerald node - a splitter. One node comes in, two nodes with half the energy of the original come out. You can establish two connections from this node
• Magenta node - eats photons to charge up, and once charged, shoots out a high velocity photon
• Purple node - a black hole, eats a photon after which allows other photons to pass through, until cooldown reset.
• The North Star - your destiny, can you reach it?
