This appears to be nice looking clicker-like strategy 11235Untitled.png

Super cool idea! I liked the game. Reminded in the Jagged Alliance series.

Nice game! I liked your idea, and all the procedurally-generated faces & missions. The UI was also pretty great. The game felt like it was missing a goal - why was I hiring all these mercenaries and taking missions for? Also, I only used the pain meds, as physical & mental health usually degraded at the same rate. Other than that, good entry!

A nice mercenary hiring simulator! The art and the environment kind of reminded me of Papers Please, which was pretty cool. At first I didn't get how the game fit the theme, but after reading through the description it made it very clear. Overall, good job on finishing a game in 48 hours!

Really nice idle-type game! I liked the UI and building up my mercenary force. It would be nice if you could see the stats of each mercenary when you are selecting them for a mission.

Excellent idea! Loved the concept with a thugs simulator. Would have loved to get a bit more story into the logs, like how did the mission go and what happened, could have been a totally awesome way to drive the narrative. Hope that you'll keep working on this as it could become a really nice game.

Fun game! It was interesting how you included a mental stability and health meter. Great game overall!

This is pretty neat concept: where jagged alliance meets football manager :smile:

If you don't mind there would be nice to have a clock in the room, to see whether time is going, current status of missions and stats of each mercenary right near to his face

Overall, very interesting concept well done

Very interesting gameplay. The entire system was well designed and easy to understand. However, I wish I could do something productive while missions were finishing.

Nice work, would love to see some progress bar for the missions in progress with maybe the faces and names of the mercenaries in it.

Pretty decent manager game you have here. These aren't my kind of games but what you have here is executed well. Could use some music and a more interesting ui. Aside from that well done I'm sure this kind of game is difficult to pull off during a jam.

A really good game. The only thing missing would be a goal or an ending of some sorts. Maybe even a story if you plan to exand upon the game.

Interesting, needs polish though (a lot). But it has lots of potential for more than a jam game.

i loved this game! its almost papers please meets management games. Great entrie!

Okay game that could be great if you continue to work on it. Wish there was a setting for a font that was easier to read.

Solid fun game with great graphics, but it needs to keep running on the background since you don't have nothing to do while all your mercenaries are on mission, it would be great to be able to go on doing some other stuff irl and than come back to the game to check what happened and asing new missions, etc.

Very cool game, thoughtful and interesting. it is not very clear how it supports the theme
