A Shocking Discovery

The people of Idioton, fascinated by electricity, have decided to put their lives in your hands. They are relying on your kite flying skills for light and warmth, don't let them down.

Move left and right to guide your kite toward lightning, and stand near the cables to transfer power from the struck kite to the selfish townspeople. If they do not receive enough power, their population will decrease, and if everyone in the town dies, there is no point in going on.
