Its been a long time... since our Glorius Nation was one.
By the sins of the past, our land was weakned and divided...
Will you fix this? Will you, our beloved leader, make this shattered land a Nation again?
A Strategy/Economy game about nation and warfare...
IMPORTANT: Read the section on tutorial to understand the gameplay
PS: For some bug reasons, the game was simplify... damm bugs =(.
PS 2: So i spend the last week trying to figure it out what is so wrong.. anyway i will make a feel changes to make the game playable! Thx for all the comments! =')
I couldn't seem to do anything? I could go to the map screen with the production and reconquer buttons, and I could get to the production screen, click the buttons to get money and buy tanks, go back to the map scree, the red country highlighted when I moused over it but I still couldn't seem to do anything but go back to the production screen.
At first I couldn't figure out what to do. I was able to Reconquer by buying enough tanks (I think). Once there my tanks seemed to hit invisible barriers that prevented me from getting to enemies to attack.
So can you take money from minorities infinitely and make infinite tanks? It seems that way. I made 100+ but didn't have nearly that many tanks for the RTS portion. RTS controls felt kind of buggy too. Could be a pretty fun dictator simulator if things work a little smoother.
I liked the take on "monster" and the overall theme. Looks like there are a few weird things to work out with the gameplay, but it mostly worked for me after some retries. The tanks get stuck eventually so I wasn't able to see the whole level.
seems like not working, i can't reconquer anything, just go to the production tab and wreck the country, and then... "YOU WON" cinematic pops... could't rate it though
It's a little difficult to get into the gameplay mechanics during the reconquer fase. I like the sovietic feeling, it remembers me of "papers, please"! :D You used construct 2! Well done btw! :D
It's no clear what action you can perform and when, maybe a real totuorial od more info during game could help. Music it's good with the concept. Interesting idea though.
The rts portion was nice, I see you've gotten mousewheel zooming in :D The panning controls only really worked on a very thin strip of the window. Sorry I'm still very much in the game developer's mindset so anything your game does that mine didn't stands out :P Good work for a competition piece :)
Great music and nice mood. Gave the feeling of a North Korea or Soviet state making the game give quite well the intention of the theme! Sad about the bugs and it really made the game smaller. :(
the concept seems great. I really like the methods to raise funds, it fits perfectly well with the theme. The choice of music is nice. I was sadly blocked by invisible walls in a tiny square and couldn't reach more than 2 tank enemies. Congrats for trying a complex concept in a short time!
That's the first game i've seen that uses the theme of jam in a REALLY different way. You're a monster, if you wanna be. The worst monster in the world. Great idea.
Good music, mechanics and graphics convey oppressive atmosphere. UI needed a bit more responsiveness to convey activity. Also, # of minorities would be a good stat to have on the production screen.
Took a while to get anything to happen, it seems to take a few tries to get to the RTS part. When I got into the RTS portion, the tanks seemed to get stuck behind invisible walls, seemingly making it impossible to continue. A bit more extensive a tutorial would be really helpful.
I finally managed to get to the rts part. After reading the comments, I bought 100+ tanks, and suddenly the reconquer button worked. It's a real shame that this game is so bug ridden, because the RTS part seemed really great, but invisible walls made it impossible to destroy all the enemy tanks. Consider fixing the issues, as I'm pretty sure these bugs qualify as game breaking, and as such, you are allowed to fix them according to the Ludum Dare Jam rules.
If you have a mechanic to track who oppressed the most people, I'm sure I'm the biggest monster. Point made, I'll sell out anyone for infinite free money.
I had about 200 tanks but couldnt do anything with them. Smashing requonqer did nothing. It is a feature or a bug i can get with my funds in minus? Overall it seems like a good idea, converting the theme is good to, music is really nice too (why did you deactivate music-rating?), but i couldnt play it :(
Whilst the UI was a little wonky at times (the reconquer issue that is mentioned elsewhere) the overall idea for this game is superb. Thoughtful piece which (when the bugs are ironed out) has a great deal of potential.

For reference, I am using the latest version of Firefox (40.0.3). Hopefully that helps.
