Really hard to play and get into. It maybe would be cool if you can guide player though it with just not only text tutorial.

jimbly 2015-08-25 03:30

Pressing the "Reconquer" button does nothing, I cannot start combat. I can Oppress Minorities a lot, so I feel like a monster...

jofra 2015-08-25 03:32

Didnt really understant it, but the concept seemed nice ;)

slashee-the-cow 2015-08-25 03:32

I couldn't seem to do anything? I could go to the map screen with the production and reconquer buttons, and I could get to the production screen, click the buttons to get money and buy tanks, go back to the map scree, the red country highlighted when I moused over it but I still couldn't seem to do anything but go back to the production screen.

jelinib 2015-08-25 03:37

I seem to be hitting invisible walls in the reconquer portion, so I can't get to any enemy tanks. Really nice RTS controls though!

rotpar 2015-08-25 03:37

No idea how to play your game :c. But it seems interesting.

mooncalf 2015-08-25 03:38

At first I couldn't figure out what to do. I was able to Reconquer by buying enough tanks (I think). Once there my tanks seemed to hit invisible barriers that prevented me from getting to enemies to attack.

heissayen 2015-08-25 03:42

I couldnt fight or do much... Looked like an interesting game tho.

bulletsarepeopletoo 2015-08-25 03:43

So can you take money from minorities infinitely and make infinite tanks? It seems that way. I made 100+ but didn't have nearly that many tanks for the RTS portion. RTS controls felt kind of buggy too. Could be a pretty fun dictator simulator if things work a little smoother.

cxsquared 2015-08-25 03:43

Tried to follow the tutorial but couldn't figure out how to start combat.

novaki 2015-08-25 03:46

Reconquer doesn't seem to work.

literal_games 2015-08-25 03:47

It seems like you've got a good start here. The feel was really nice, and the context was good.

peterkirk 2015-08-25 03:50

I couldn’t work out what I was doing or how to win. After a couple of minutes of doing stuff I gave up. I like the music and the concept.

geckoo1337 2015-08-25 04:09

It reminds me another game - Papers please! with its oppressive atmosphere. This is a solid project. The music is great. Thank you for this entry ++

maplequest 2015-08-25 04:12

I felt like there may have been a decent game here, especially once I got to the RTS section, but it's a bit hard to know what's going on.

wolvesbaneteam 2015-08-25 04:19

I liked the take on "monster" and the overall theme. Looks like there are a few weird things to work out with the gameplay, but it mostly worked for me after some retries. The tanks get stuck eventually so I wasn't able to see the whole level.

aiursrage2k 2015-08-25 05:31

Minorities!!!!!

plomeg 2015-08-25 06:08

seems like not working, i can't reconquer anything, just go to the production tab and wreck the country, and then... "YOU WON" cinematic pops... could't rate it though

peterthehe 2015-08-25 10:12

Cool concept, could be better executed but its amazing for the time it was made in.

boskosokolov 2015-08-25 14:30

I didn't know what to do

nikteddy92 2015-08-25 14:43

It's a little difficult to get into the gameplay mechanics during the reconquer fase.
I like the sovietic feeling, it remembers me of "papers, please"! :D
You used construct 2! Well done btw! :D

ruka 2015-08-25 15:08

This still buggy and broken, but i can see the concept is very good.

geeitsomelaldy 2015-08-25 18:09

40 tanks, couldn't reconquer anything. button just did nothing. Interesting idea though.

superpatch 2015-08-25 18:22

It's no clear what action you can perform and when, maybe a real totuorial od more info during game could help. Music it's good with the concept. Interesting idea though.

digitaldude555 2015-08-25 18:32

I can only build tanks, but can't reconquer...oh well.

ptolo 2015-08-25 18:37

The rts portion was nice, I see you've gotten mousewheel zooming in :D
The panning controls only really worked on a very thin strip of the window.
Sorry I'm still very much in the game developer's mindset so anything your game does that mine didn't stands out :P
Good work for a competition piece :)

oskardevelopment 2015-08-25 19:13

Great music and nice mood. Gave the feeling of a North Korea or Soviet state making the game give quite well the intention of the theme! Sad about the bugs and it really made the game smaller. :(

magnusfurcifer 2015-08-25 20:14

I didn't seem to be able to enter combat via the reconquer button.

Music was real good!

antonybaasan 2015-08-25 21:11

Music is crazy awesome. But "Reconquer" is not working? What I should do?

foxboard 2015-08-25 21:30

the concept seems great. I really like the methods to raise funds, it fits perfectly well with the theme. The choice of music is nice. I was sadly blocked by invisible walls in a tiny square and couldn't reach more than 2 tank enemies. Congrats for trying a complex concept in a short time!

cicero-gamedev 2015-08-25 21:54

That's the first game i've seen that uses the theme of jam in a REALLY different way. You're a monster, if you wanna be. The worst monster in the world. Great idea.

godjammit 2015-08-26 01:41

Good music, mechanics and graphics convey oppressive atmosphere. UI needed a bit more responsiveness to convey activity. Also, # of minorities would be a good stat to have on the production screen.

vividhelix 2015-08-26 02:42

sorry i really tried this, but couldn't do much. reconquer didn't work at all. good attempt and the theme approach is really good!

digiman572 2015-08-26 05:07

I'm not sure if I can get into this game, I can't get past the reconquer button. :(

macecraft 2015-08-26 05:31

Took a while to get anything to happen, it seems to take a few tries to get to the RTS part. When I got into the RTS portion, the tanks seemed to get stuck behind invisible walls, seemingly making it impossible to continue. A bit more extensive a tutorial would be really helpful.

balbinoaylagas 2015-08-26 06:03

did not understand how to play it, but the concept was interesting

druhinm 2015-08-26 10:32

The concept is nice. It was quite tough for me though

otrorainteractivo 2015-08-26 19:07

I have encountered a few war games this time around and they are nice. Good idea, with more time I'm sure it will be even better.

mekuri 2015-08-26 21:44

I finally managed to get to the rts part. After reading the comments, I bought 100+ tanks, and suddenly the reconquer button worked.
It's a real shame that this game is so bug ridden, because the RTS part seemed really great, but invisible walls made it impossible to destroy all the enemy tanks.
Consider fixing the issues, as I'm pretty sure these bugs qualify as game breaking, and as such, you are allowed to fix them according to the Ludum Dare Jam rules.

gamecook 2015-08-26 22:56

I was also having issues trying to figure things out. Good try though.

collaboration 2015-08-27 12:40

I don't get it, sorry

boardtobits 2015-08-27 15:57

I could get money and buy tanks, but not actually attack anyone. I liked the theme though!

steboots 2015-08-28 01:40

If you have a mechanic to track who oppressed the most people, I'm sure I'm the biggest monster. Point made, I'll sell out anyone for infinite free money.

nowandstudios 2015-08-28 06:54

The idea is unique but I missed tutorial :(

fistmaker 2015-08-28 11:27

Needed more direction on how to play. Good audio and theme interpretation.

mrnyarlathotep 2015-08-29 16:50

Very hard to judge as a strategy game that has not implemented any strategy yet.

acerio 2015-08-29 19:41

Fits the theme very well. But very hard.

psydack 2015-08-30 07:09

Sorry can't play. Chrome Mac/OS

darkflint 2015-08-30 13:24

I had about 200 tanks but couldnt do anything with them. Smashing requonqer did nothing.
It is a feature or a bug i can get with my funds in minus?
Overall it seems like a good idea, converting the theme is good to, music is really nice too (why did you deactivate music-rating?), but i couldnt play it :(

jcsirron 2015-09-01 02:01

I couldn't get the Reconquer button to work, but I love the ominous music that plays in the plotting screen!

For reference, I am using the latest version of Firefox (40.0.3). Hopefully that helps.

superfreak 2015-09-01 08:00

Whilst the UI was a little wonky at times (the reconquer issue that is mentioned elsewhere) the overall idea for this game is superb. Thoughtful piece which (when the bugs are ironed out) has a great deal of potential.

logiclogue 2015-09-14 18:58

I like the idea, however, it was difficult to get started. Thumbs up for the music.
