Mayor! Powerton's suffered an energy plant explosion! We're currently lacking in power!

Powerton is a city/power management game where you must power up and power down buildings in order to satisfy the 4 needs of your people: Happiness, Food, Economy, and Crime. You lose if Happiness, Food, or Economy reach 0. You also lose if Crime reaches 100. 

Click on an unpowered building to power it up - powering up a building takes time and is signaled by the light slowly turning on. When the light starts flashing, a building is totally powered up and works towards satisfying needs. You can also unpower buildings by clicking on a powered building, which is immediate.

Your power is listed on the top left of the screen. Each building takes a certain amount of power to utilize - in general, larger buildings yield bigger bonuses but take longer to power up and eats up more of your power supply. Each day you will gain +10 more power to use.

Courthouse, Police, Sheriff = Reduce Crime
Arcade, Bowling, Pub = Increase Happiness
Restaurant, Supermarket, Cafe, Burger Lord = Increase Food
Factory, Bank, Super Shirts = Increase Economy
Ice Cream = Increase Happiness and Food (reduced amount)
Donuts = Increase Food (and Happiness, as long as a Courthouse, Police, or Sheriff is powered on)
School = Reduce Crime (Greatest crime reducer), but also reduce some Happiness.
