Build provisional working stations and manage their crew in order to gather enough materials before the time runs out.
Controls: Mouse
If you are not quite sure what to do, here is a run-down:
Tents will appear through the game. By clicking on them you can choose three different upgrades: welding, planks-hammer and slapping. Welding and hammer tents will automatically generate resource for your end-game goal -building a ramp.
However their crew will eventually have a mental break-down and they need to take a break. Their state is indicated by the smiley face on the tent. If click on the icons above tents, its crews will take a break. This way you can avoid time penalty of mental break down.
Slap tents can very quickly recover tents which had a breakdown.
Key to hard difficulty is utilize combos of hammer/welding tents with slap tents and avoid mental breakdowns on the rest.
Hm, I didn't really get what I was doing. But I liked how you told a story through images, and I really liked the clean, desaturated art style. I'm gonna give it another try.
It's an interesting concept. A strategy game based. I like the games that tells a story. The player is awaiting the fatal ending. I don't like that it's a bit slow till that moment.
It's very fun, but I can't get more than a general idea of what's going on. I played a few times and came very close to winning, but I don't think there's enough to do late in the game for me to keep going.
I also don't really get how it fits the theme. But, the graphics and sound were nice.
This game is awesome! You did a great job! I fel sorry for every men who died during the construction. :) I watched you youtube intro too, and it was cool, without it i couldn't understand the game. The graphics are also good, they fit with the sound effects.
I tried it and first I didn't notice anything particular happening, but that was because I didn't have enough planks. I think it would have been nice to disband a tent and get a new one after a while. I would have liked to be able to control the speed of time too. It was moving way to slow when I was happy with my composition of the work-force. It has the beginnings of a nice micro-management game though.
Very unique concept! As usual, I didn't read the description and actually thought, that slapping just do nothing and is some kind of metaphor (they even don't get tired :D). The game is easy to understand without no tutorial, so that's a good call. The only thing that bothered me is static time of recovery of each tent. I could just cycle through all of them without thinking at all ;( Add some random deviations, and that will do nice.
This is pretty cool. I cant say much about the audio but the graphics were great, there were clear and I could tell what was going on. This is a really cool short game! Great work!
Love the graphics, even without instructions! I included it in part 4 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/aLTEhRhwd8A
Aside from reading your introduction, I wasn't sure what I was building for the most part until the ramp started appearing. The items in the carts looked like they were carrying people?
I like the management aspects to this game and it's fun to sit back and watch the people build the ramp.
I really like the basic idea but the game is a little... passive.. You have only to wait at some point.. Btw I really like the graphic style, well done!
