HOMES UNDER THE HAMMER
----
After watching countless hours of property development on TV, you've decided to take the step to try some of your own.
The most important thing seems to be to knock down walls and turn all those cramped little rooms into ONE ROOM.
Watch out for those supporting walls though!
Can you make a profit?
HOW TO PLAY
-----
This game is played with the mouse. Hover over a wall to select it. Left click brings it down. Timing is not critical, but as time is money, you probably shouldn't take too long picking your walls.
When a warning icon appears, there is a supporting wall nearby, so watch out for those.
The value of a property is greatly increased when you manage to connect all the rooms together, so try to make the available space into ONE ROOM.
At any point you can sell your property by pressing the "SELL" button in the top right side of the screen.

This my 6th entry for Ludum Dare. I've once again used the LÖVE framework and I'm happy I did so, even though the code is a big mess, haha.
The idea for this game came from my girlfriend, who likes to watch BBC daytime television. I'm quite happy with how it all turned out :)
If I had more time, I would have liked to add some graphics, like drawings of the houses and some more things going on in the background while playing the levels. Ah well.
The sound effects are all recorded, either with my voice or things around the house. And although the music is quite MIDI-esque, the whistling gives it some liveliness I think :)
