Pain in the Cave

Pain in the Cave

This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive
(may not load correctly).
So what tech is more ancient than "rendering" on cave walls? None, I bet!

The tribe is diminishing, only a Hunter, a Gatherer and a Scout

remain. To survive, they must feed the fire with wood to remain warm and

safe, hunt and gather themselves a healthy dose of prehistoric

proteins and carbohidrates and avoid being eaten by wolves, ran down

by bisons and annoyed by birds that steal their crops...

Controls:

- Click on tribemen to select them, and then click on a target resource to

collect it (Hunter->Meat, Gatherer->Cereal, Scout->Wood), on an animal

to attack it (Hunter), or anywhere to move (All).

- Actions cannot be interrupted, so use your 21st century brain to

plan ahead your actions in the -100th

Notes:

- Code and Postmortem at: https://github.com/esquellington/PainInTheCave

- Web play using love.js from: https://github.com/TannerRogalsky/love.js

Prefer FullScreen, as art is 1920x1080 with no resizing (sorry:_)

- Requires Löve2D (>= 0.10.1), run as

love PainInTheCave.love

- Developed in Ubuntu 14.04, but "should" work wherever there's Love.

- Source and art at github, no license, do whatever you want with it.

- Song "Krakatoa" Joseph Gilbert / Kistol (through http://opengameart.org/)
