It is the year 2024, after the fall of civilization.

The neo-capitalists are attempting to regain control of the earth, using Life brand cereal as currency.

At the Quaker Oats guy, you are duty-bound by your oath to honesty, integrity, and purity to stop them.

Retrieve all the cereal before it is too late!

WebGL build forthcoming!

How to Play


Make your way through each of the four levels, finding all the cereal boxes around.

Watch out for enemies:

* *Clerks* are patrolling the levels. If they see you they'll give chase
* *Capitalists* are often found milling around near boxes of cereal. Beware their binding contracts!
* You can fire some of your precious Life brand cereal at the enemies to temporarily incapacitate them.

Controls


Supports both keyboard and controller.

Keyboard:


* WASD/Arrow keys: move
* Space: Fire
* Escape: Quit

Controller:


* Left stick: move
* A: Fire (or whatever maps to "button 0" in Unity)

Known Issues

It's a Ludum Dare game, there's probably something!
