They say the newest military strategic technology is always most optimal in a military setting, but a certain nordic system wouldnt agree with that in the year of 2089.
A puzzleesque game where you inform yourself on troops locations and command them to victory using your trusty encyphered messages.
As a severely underrepresented member of the military central it is your task to recieve the soldiers messages day in and day out, whilest advising and commanding them on the safest possible action in the current invasion of your motherland. For both recieving and outputting youre advised to use your fancy 1918 cipher machinery, the ENIGMA in combination with the provided daily key. Divert your troops from harms way while making sure your enemy doesnt reach the central for as long as possible. As you discover new strategies and positions while also getting exposed to more and more gruesome findings you will begin realizing just how big of an impact youre having on the future of this world and its inhabitants, starting to go crazy in the process as something you cant tell the reality of starts making its way towards the central, killing your enemies within a moments notice. Avoid bringing harm to the tactical cabin youre occupying and you might get out of harms way someday, leaving the room to your mother and enjoying some of her world-famous Spicy Hot Chocolate.
Tutorial I think Recreate the daily pattern which changes every 12 moves with your rotors by dragging them onto the desired slots. Retype your soldiers messages into cohesive words. Move the troops. Strategize on the map on the right. Take notes using. Kill the enemies, dont let them get to the central.
A game by @kartoffel-licht who had to build the whole thing by himself whilest getting tortured by his artist and @smugsman who had a surprisingly lower amount of jobs to do during this ludum and decided to torture the programmer.
Really cool entry! I loved the concept and the overall mood you’ve created here. The controls felt responsive and the gameplay was super engaging for a jam project. Left full ratings! If you have a few minutes, we’d love for you to check out our game Meow Bomb! 🐱💣 The official LD page has our jam release, but I also assembled an alternative updated build with fixes and a working PC: https://naiper.itch.io/meow-bomb-by-naiper
That desk illustration is lovely, especially the map and the exposed bulb. Having to decode messages before you can help your troops makes the Enigma feel like an actual part of the job.
Left my ratings. If you have a moment, we'd appreciate a rating on our game too: Robot Workshop.
