The Machine

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS I BELIEVE WAS ADDED BEFORE THE 12:00 DEADLINE, AND THE VIRUS SCAN MADE IT LATE!

Welcome to Alien Machines, pilot!

In “The Machine”, you are an industrial worker who harvests the energy contained within walls of gigantic alien craft. The concept is extremely simple and straightforward: you must fly through the structure, avoiding contact with the walls while flying close enough to absorb energy. Staying close to the walls for elongated periods of time causes exponential energy harvesting, allowing you to rack up massive combo points. This game de-emphasizes survival, and emphasizes the harvesting of enough energy to meet the industrial standard.

There are 3 machines, divided into 3 massive subsections each, which unlock as you meet industrial standards and rise through the ranks. The concept is extremely unique and original, but is undeniably hard and tricky to pick up, mostly due to the lack of control apparent early in the game. The game requires time and skill to complete, but work is never easy, right?
