Question: How many space colonists does it take to keep the human race from becoming extinct?
Answer: ...well, probably more than we have.
The 13th Colony is a game about the last vestiges of humanity. Earth is toast, and you're the Exploration Lieutenant for the very last Mission to Planet Kepler-22b.
Can you find the resources you need to keep the base from breaking down? Or at least... delay it?
Can you discover what happened to colonies 1-12?
Randomly Generated Worlds - Non-Zero Replayability Value!
Although this is a jam game, all code, assets, and music were created from scratch (compo rules):
*Code:* bkelly
*Art:* kristinamay (in Pixaki)
*Music:* kristinamay (in Medley)
*Writing:* kristinamay + Fletcher (thanks for the help!)
Thanks a bundle for giving our game a try - we worked so hard on it and are excited to see what you all discover on Kepple-B!
There might be a few things we didn't get a chance to finish or polish as much as we'd like. If you get a message on-screen that doesn't *totally* make sense, that's why. It's definitely playable to the end (there are several different endings!), but any "TODO"s you see (hopefully you won't!) are an artifact of our being quite ambitious with this game.
