Clone Colony Frontier is an amalgamation of a multiple LD themes such as Colony, Limited resources and No weapons allowed. Minimalism wasn't on my mind at all when designing the game but the interactions and graphical presentation do fit the call.
The game itself is about colony management. The goal is to survive in spite of seemingly random events and situations.
The initial idea had a large emphasis on how the crew interacted together, some would form friendships and families and while others would become sworn enemies.
In the end that design took a backseat as time constraints and other mechanics appeared and stuck around (somebody said clones, made my life a lot easier). I didn't have time to implement all of those mechanics either, but maybe you won't notice which ones aren't quite there yet. I do intend to follow up on this initial release later on.
Overall it was a great challenge and a weekend to remember.
Just like in previous Jams, I learned some new fast ways of going about coding and what not.
Have fun and games.
FILE:EDIT:
Added instructions and removed the console.
