War Game? by Ovidios

[raw]
made by Ovidios for LD32 (COMPO)
The United States of America, like 205 other countries, were recently involved in a giant war known as World War 3.

No one is getting closer to winning. Millions die.

Until one day a clever NASA-employee, code-named 'RKT' initiates a risky plan...

A graphics card that supports shaders is necessary!
The Mac Version does not Seen to work. I can't test it though since I don't own a Mac... Sorry guys!

I can't seem to run the game. It seems I'm missing the C++ redist files. Sorry, but I can't really play it.

@zzForrest: I'm guessing you were running on Windows? I never had that error on any of the devices I tested it on... :/ If you happen to have love2d Installed you can download the source and run it that way...

I have the same problem, it says OpenAL32.dll is missing.

TO ALL OF THOSE WHO COULDN'T RUN THE GAME PREVIOUSLY:
I replaced the old Windows-download with a new one that contains some more DLLs. Might fix the errors you might've had. I'm so sorry for that!

In addition to the redist (which everyone can install easily) you also forgot to include the OpenAL DLL.
I guess this is just the kind of game I don't really like that much. Lots of relatively unrelated yet funny text.
However I quite like the graphic style! :)

I don't know how missiles can be an unusual weapon. However, this game was pretty fun after all. However, when I hit backspace to delete something I typed, it deletes like 3 chars. You better look in that

@pta2002: The fact they aren't real missiles is basically only revealed in the ending sequence were you see them flying into space and just exploding into firework... ^^

Fun game, but the controls are suprisingly poor for a textbased game. The backspace is too sensitive and the enter key is too sensitive.

Very funny. I included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/N2U1d1bXaPI

Very funny! Although I wish the controls were a bit better suited for text and that I could check previous messages.

Pretty good, but I got stuck on the screen with the earth and the missile launching sound playing over and over.

good idea. At one point i didn't know what to do and i couldn't scroll back to re read previous messages

Do I have to pay for this one?

@UrbanHelsing: No you don't! ^^
The site I'm using allows you to pay or to download it for free. I should probably remove the option to pay to prevent confusion though... ^^

Pretty cool! I just got stuck on the end screen without any fireworks, so it wasn't obvious how the weapon was unconventional until I read the other comments. Probably due to running on a crappy laptop with Intel Graphics...

The ending animation didn't play for me either. Checked what it should've looked like from the assets. Quite annoying that you couldn't scroll the console nor the chat the backspace indeed deleted a lot more than it should have.

I guess this is quite fitting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHWjlCaIrQo. Left a lot to be desired.
