My first Ludum Dare. Didn't get time to do much polish and there may be a few bugs. Created with LibGDX.

You play a team of school children. You cobble together £4.36 between the 5 of you, head to the school shop and buy things to make an unconventional weapon for the playground war.

Single Player not implemented. That means you can only play hotseat, but you should still be able to get the general idea.

Options/Team Editor not implemented.

My studio is at http://explosive.ninja, feel free to take a look!

Changelog since submission (It's amazing how incompetent one becomes when one is coding in ones sleep):

Fixed a bug in web version that should have caused it not to work at all (although it strangely worked on some machines). For this I blame computers.

Fixed a bug in shop that meant you can buy stuff even when you ran out of money. For this I blame lack of sleep.

Fixed a performance issue that caused massive load times and crashes on some machines. For this I can only blame myself.

Fixed a bug causing throwing tomatoes to crash the game, due to a reference to non existent sound. (Removed reference)
