We did toy with a similar idea, so I was really curious.
At first I couldn't figure it out and to be honest, I'm not completely sure how to micro manage the dudes. They seem very set on patrolling whatever is set up and won't change their route very quickly.
But then I figured you can set three guys up with 2 posts each and the fourth guy (Dane) to visit all the posts and it just seems to run forever. :D
...well, 22 days, at any rate. Is that good?
Hey, thanks for the feedback! :D Yes, the lack of a tutorial and proper description, and some pretty bad overall gameplay mechanics make it difficult to actually figure it out in the beginning! But well done on setting the (un)official record of 22 days!
If I were to continue on this, there would be a lot of changes to how to manage the guys and add more variation to ensure the player has more of a role than initial setup.
Ya know what, unless somebody chimes in with a higher number, I'll just claim the record, thank you very much :D :D
Could use a little shot of dopamine to get me over hump day :P
A nice tutorial would help but it was fun and the art style worked really well
Nice! I like the concept and the use of the theme. The retro style works really well too. I think it would be good to expand this idea to add more levels or increase the difficulty. Good job!
With some polishing and mission design this could be a full game! Great job!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is yours: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1429513418944417800
Thanks so much! It could definitely do with polishing, and I might end up doing that... I think the UI requires some re-thinking, and some sort of tutorial is a must.... Thanks for the tweet!
