Dwarves built factories across islands and abandoned them. Your task is to utilize every piece of junk they left.

You weapons are the shovel and knowledge of writing sigils.
With shovel you can dig the ground, cut powerlines, smash buildings, disarm traps and write sigils.
With sigils you can cast light and levitation, destroy entire buildings in one shot and teleport yourself home when the task is done.


Controls:
WASD/Arrow keys to move and navigate in menus,
M to enter dig mode,
Space to jump or dig.
Enter to press buttons in menus


Mechanics:
Watch out for traps! They looks like grass but not quite alike. Use dig mode to get rid of them.
Use dig mode to draw sigils on earth. They are activated instantly.
Hit buildings in dig mode to destroy them. Don't forget to push junk to active utilization sigil afterwards.
You can draw utilization sigil around the building to utilize it without spending time on destroying.
Every building is active only if it is connected to the generator. Dig the powerline to turn them off.
Every tile you dig will be overgrown with grass after the ingame day (~800s)
Jumping from a hill will kill you.
Entering utilization sigil will kill you.
Entering trap will kill you.
Getting hit by electric orb will kill you.
You can draw and enter levitation sigil to defy traps and height damage.
When you think you finished - draw teleportation sigil and enter it.

Additional:
You will start in water for somw reason - just jump out of it to the shores.

HTML version can still take a long time to generate level, please download the desktop version if you don't want to wait it.

Congratulations on making this game ! I've played your game during a live that you can watch here :

The live is timestamped so you can go directly to your game.

Unfortunately I had difficulties to start the game and then understand it. I hope the feedback and live reactions will still be useful. Keep it up !
