The Fall by Qaterknan

[raw]
made by Qaterknan for LD27 (JAM)
=== NEW version ====
There were some server errors, but it should be alright now
====================

After The Fall, resources are depleted and every piece of scrap is valuable. Different groups wage wars on junkyards and you are a leader of one such group. You have something special that gives you great advantage - you have a computer! But you have only energy to run it for about a ten seconds. What will your orders be?

Pretty fun! My setup consisted of clicking my mouse as fast as humanly possible for 10 seconds, haha. No strategic placement whatsoever, but it was good fun and that is what matters

It takes quite a while for it to load, are you sure you didn't escape to early?

Wouldn't load on Windows 7 with Chrome and a fast internet connection even though I gave it about 5 minutes.

ATTENTION:
There were some hosting problems but it should be ok now. However, the game still takes a long time to load.

While I think it was extremely interesting having the different modes (shop, planning, observing) which I found cool I think I felt kinda drained from all the tutorial reading at the very start. Being able to zoom in and out of the battle was awesome but I wish there was a way to fast forward it or something (watched the mutants walk painfully slow for ages across the map haha) Anyways good stuff man : ).

Positives:
Liked the setting.
Good concept for the theme.
Music matched setting pretty well.

Negatives:
Too many units in setup time so didn't have time to think about strategy.
Units took too long to get across the field after the battle was pretty much over.
Tutorial text was quite overwhelming and didn't really want to read through it all.
Felt a bit too easy.

All in all, not a bad game. As said above setting is good but I feel that this would have worked a lot better with less units or given a different theme to work with. The 10 second setup just doesn't give time for strategy and that should be what the game is about. Still, enjoyable nonetheless and a pretty good effort!
