Linux/Windows/Source/Timelapse coming soon!

Oppress your people by hitting them with your bribed police forces!

-> Do not loose your commanders or you loose!
-> Use Rampage mode to kill theses pesty civilians!
-> Blue=Police, Red=Rebels, Gray=Civilians

Controls:
Left Click to select commander and move.
Left Alt to toggle rampage mode!
WASD/Arrows to move camera.

I could only work half the time for this LD, so don't be too harsh :)

Pro: Love the style of it, like the way the people move and buildings are taken over
Con: took me a while to realize i had to use wasd to move the view around; the cops should be more evil somehow to fit the theme, otherwise it feels like I'm on the good side

Thanks for the comments! I updated the controls. Did you try the rampage mode :D

I like to build two fronts and crush the rebel scum in the middle. *rampage* ;)

I never understood what was being represented with the icons on top of the buildings. Also I never felt like a villain, just a bunch of blue guys killing red guys...
Nice job with the "flocking" code though, I know that can be tough to make work right :)

I like the stalinian feel to the graphics. That gives the game an interesting atmosphere.
It was a little bit to slow for my taste.
If made with Unity, why no Mac version ?

Theme brother! :)

Fun concept. Controlled well and all the little people moved well.

This is clever and thought-provoking, well done.

Nice concept. I like the rampage mode, it makes it like a RTS but without drag select. I like the area denial mechanic. Good job.

Almost gave up until I read the comment about using WASD (the fact that the blue units were off-screen when starting up didn't help :)) Once I got that, I didn't feel like I was controlling much as my units were too slow to react.

Nice entry even though I had a hard time figuring out what to do at first.
