Conventionally Banned by Sverik
-=-=- Backstory -=-=-
This is a game about weapons that have been banned by various conventions. The list contains landmines, toxic nerve agents, blinding lasers etc.
You, the player, are a president, a dictator of a country and you don't really care about conventions and regulations. People are upset and want to overthrow your regime. You have all the means to stop them. All the banned means...
-=-=- Technical -=-=-
Run the JAR file: java -jar conventionallyBanned-LD32.jar
Built with Android Studio, on top of libgdx and this tutorial: http://obviam.net/index.php/getting-started-in-android-game-development-with-libgdx-create-a-working-prototype-in-a-day-tutorial-part-1/
-=-=- Conclusion -=-=-
Plans were much bigger, as always. Only the landmine is implemented. Again, too many new things to learn during just 48 hours (libgdx, the new Android Studio). Though, libgdx seems like a pretty solid thing for doing cross-platform apps (Android and Java desktop).

[+] Everything works
[+] Simple but not too easy
[-] No sounds
[-] No HUD
* Live score would be nice
[-] Could use some powerups / upgrades / waves / etc.
You also have an ending if you don't kill anybody. Good work here.
The alternate ending was a nice touch :-)
Cool that it works on android! Gameplay felt lacking though, I just clicked as quickly as I could until I lost. It would have been cool if kills got you $money$ and let you buy more powerful banned weapons from a store (chemical weapons, biowarfare, nukes...)
