SHARK WARS (both themes)
An RTS style game where you upgrade schools of fish to different types in order to feed the enemy shark. If the enemy shark becomes overfed and grows too big to eat anymore, you win! If you shark eats too much you lose!

Left mouse click to activate fish schools, upgrade fish schools, activate the blow fish explosive defense, and basically everything you would expect it to do.

Right mouse click - hold it down and drag to pan the view back and forth between your shark's area and the enemy shark.

Fish Powers
Snapper - 1 Food - regular speed.
Tuna - 4 Food - Same spawn as snapper, slightly slower.
Swordfish - 2 food - Fast, can kill enemy tuna and feed to enemy shark for 7 food. Speed slows after a kill,
Blowfish - 0 Food - after time they can be activated to grow and then explode to destroy enemy fish.
Turtle - 8 food - *Bugged* meant as a slow effect. Only slows one enemy unit and usually targets a snapper for reason I can't figure out. Don't use them :P

Please set up your drop box with separate folder for source code. Also, exe could be run once, not install.
Nice art!

Thats a shame :/ not many RTS style games for LD. What did you make it in? I would love to try and make a RTS for a LD some day.
Tomauthor14 Dec 2015, 20:42
Made it in Game Maker, if you have game maker I included the project file so you could play it that way. and I can understand why people don't do RTS games for this lol it was not easy. I'm an idiot for choosing RTS for my first LD but I like them and got excited with my idea. Going to try to go clean, crisp and simple next time.

Clever! I'm not sure what the turtles do. I like the idea of trying to over feed an enemy shark :)

turtles were meant as a slow mechanic. they have an area effect slow that that is bugged and only slows one enemy unit right now. They are also worth the most food. Sadly I ran out of time and they are useless and the mechanic of things being worth different food is left unexplained. Come to think of it I should probably just update my entry with those details lol.

The sound effects are hilarious. The idea has potential but it needs a bit of work. I didn't really understand what I was doing.

Yeah I completely agree. I spent way too much time on art and ended up with no tutorial. Thanks for playing though!
