Supply Line Simulator

There's a lot of fun content here, great job! The whole idea (gear, manpower) reminds me of logi in Foxhole--a game I've played for years.

I felt the UI could have been better. The music/sfx sliders could have been smaller. The blue hex highlighting where you can move blended with the green tiles a bit. The end result was hard to make out sometimes. Mostly, though, I would have loved an indicator showing me how many turns until a unit ran out of supplies.

Like I said, this was a lot of fun. And I love the concept!

Excellent concept, I feel like this would make a great mobile game. I wish there was more information about the units in the UI, but still fun otherwise!

Fun game. I did not consider a strategy game with this theme, but it works. Some indication of when a unit is running low on supplies would be helpful

Very fun idea, but only moving truck getting boring at the end of a second level. Ill be really glad to see full-sized army supply management strategy grown from this with trains, baybe planes and such. Style of a game reminds me unCiv game or maybe megamek

Fun idea, but artstyle and ui need some poilishing

Very cool idea for a game. I wonder how many other people took the theme "delivery" and thought "war"! The visuals are very striking!

I've kinda always wondered why there's so few games out there that involve the logistics of war (beyond just a token mention of it) and I think this really proves that the concept is vaialbe. I will say though, I didn't expect an RTS of logistics to show up.

Feedback as followed, your music got a bit dull after a bit of listening to it (I think because its the same 2 notes over and over). Second note is that when the player is out of moves, just end the turn for them, as the y can't do anything anyways.

RTS is not easy to create. very good job it reminds me the board game katan with the platform. very good job. add esc or button key to get out to the main menu.

its great to see a strategic game as entry here! It works pretty well, I think an improvement could be to select/hover over your troops and see their info/stats. Cool idea, fun entry :)

pretty cool game, i liked the idea of the game, but it felt like it needed more player control, perhaps allowing for more than one truck, or for some other form of interaction, being only able to move one truck felt limiting. The game is also rather easy, the enemies barely put up a fight, and a 3-manpower tank can pretty much defeat three-quarters of the enemy force on its own. Despite this, i have to complement the mechanical complexity of the game, a strategy game where the battle take into consideration multiple factors is not something i was expecting to see in a Ludum Dare. Pretty great entry.

Good game concept. There is work to do on Graphics/SFX, and feedback in general, but it's not very important here. Game jam is also made for prototyping, testing an idea.

And I like the idea of focusing on supply/re-inforcement/upgrade. But because you only have one truck, you are confined on your delivery spot. To go further, I think you need to earn more trucks, and build storage outpost to make your trucks progress with your troops.

Overall, Great job.

Great game! It's very engaging and makes me want to play more and more! It's a shame there are only two levels 😀 I was a little confused about why, on one of the moves, it just kicked me back to the menu. The interface could use some work to make it a bit better. The game has a very interesting mechanic with great potential for developing the idea further! Excellent job 👍🔥

Good idea! I'll try this game later, it looks like it's going to be more strategic

Possibly the most fun and most unique game this game jam!

Very unique gameplay, this game is nothing like the others in this jam, I really liked it. Great job!
