Strongmen! (with vital exclamation mark) is a tactical strategy game in a similar vein to games like Civ and XCOM.
Except you have no weapons yourself, and have to pick up baddies from behind to use them cunningly...

Level 8 is the last "unique" level, which just repeats until you die.
The title music was randomly generated !1111!!!
I used a tool called Ramugen (http://homepages.tesco.net/gregskius/ramugen.html) to do that, which seemed ok, but I'm not convinved random music is ever gonna be anything other than surreal... hence not using it in-game.

Anyway, my first game jam game...done! woo!

EDIT: This is an XNA game, so you'll need to get the XNA Restributable 3.1 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=53867A2A-E249-4560-8011-98EB3E799EF2&displaylang=en if you don't already have it
