Apparently it was an arithmatic overflow in Civ 2 that turned Ghandi from a pacifist for a bloodthirsty murderer.

Great entry, although I had to restart after I clustered my buildings too close the first time.

great game

The first time I "negotiated" with another civilization I actually spit out my drink. You've done the world a great service. The volume might have been excessive in other situations but it was perfect here.
If I was to complain about about anything I would say that the game seemed to take longer than it needed to. I'd say either shrink the map or add a bit more variety to the building sections.

Fire ze missiles! LOL not bad. I got a little bored trying to find the civs, glad I stuck with it.

Very cool game. Gandhi at his best =)
It became a little bit hard to discover lands after i opened about 4/5 of them because of expensiveness of buildings.

imer 2015-08-24 06:57

Brilliant! made me laugh the first time ;)

Like misterwalter said, the cost scaling gets tedious towards the end, but all in all very enjoyable

Other than the slow endgame (maybe make it so research can be converted into other resources? I banked hardcore on those schools, yo), this is a solid game. Creative take on the theme, and it works as a full-fledged game. I'd like to see a way to lose (A time limit, maybe? That would make it more exciting!), but this is a good one.

I wanted to play this but the web version didn't work in FireFox or IE. :( Let me know if you change anything and I'll try it!

greysphere 2015-08-24 17:35

@GAFBlizzard. Hmm, I just tried and it worked in both Firefox (38.0.5) and IE11 on Windows 7. Maybe there's something different w/ your set up. There's an windows executable you can download if you are still having problems. Hope it works out for you!

jelinib 2015-08-24 22:24

Oh man, this is the kind of game that I just want to see everything expand and grow. Loved the juxtaposition of Ghandi and violent explosions!

rafaella 2015-08-25 03:48

I liked it! I love this "old game feeling" you did it right!

miotatsu 2015-08-25 05:26

How did you make this in 48 hours ._.

greysphere 2015-08-25 06:40

@miotatsu :) Actually this game came in at slightly less code than my normal jams (2500 lines vs around 3000) and has the least art of all my games as well. I think the art quality is higher though but I'm practicing art and my skill has improved as well so I think I took less time there too. That left more time for game design and actually I got more sleep this jam as well! Overall I think it's just practice and experience. I do feel like I'm improving each jam!

gafblizzard 2015-08-25 06:55

@greysphere that's really strange. I specifically tested with IE11, automatically updated to the latest version, on Windows 7. I get a message that explicitly says this browser isn't suported. :(

gafblizzard 2015-08-25 06:57

It may be an emscripten thing because someone else's first-person emscripten game didn't run on my browser either.

@gafblizzard Thanks for the info. I'll look into it tomorrow and post back (bed time here right now!)

greysphere 2015-08-25 07:05

(And yes this is made w/ emscripten.)

jnyknn 2015-08-25 17:31

Wow, this game has a lot of content. I like it!

archbang 2015-08-25 21:33

Very nice! Such a complete game befitting the theme. The endgame is a bit painful as tends to be the case in 4x games but the completeness of this entry is very impressive.

jk5000 2015-08-26 08:09

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Dizzly 2015-08-28 12:44

Great concept for the theme! It s difficult at the end but overall it s veery good!

pi_pi3 2015-08-28 13:03

Nice game.

arzi 2015-08-31 20:27

Nice twist on the theme and good mechanics, but the game gets quite boring towards the end.

kaitokidi 2015-09-01 12:07

best xD
Fucking best

The interface, graphics, and basic mechanics were nice and very polished, but more interesting gameplay would have been nice. It quickly became a repetitive waiting game after nuking the first foreigners, because all of the civilizations were identical (just giving each one a character graphic and a different line of dialog would have made a huge difference) and none of them offered any challenge other than trying to find them.
