BEF by Arowx

[raw]
made by Arowx for LD21 (JAM)
The concept was Escaping from Dunkirk, but it evolved into the full BEF (British Expeditionary Force) mission, with 'Real' physics!

Honest play it and find out!

It's so tedious to move one unit at a time. I wasn't sure exactly what to do either. Do I just move all the troops to the other side?

Sorry yes that is the first part of it, Yes, you can use the 3rd man to push the two in front.

The physics of this game is just... wow. Like when my tank flew off the boat and landed on my troops. :)

I'm afraid I couldn't work out how to control this properly or really what I was supposed to be doing. I like the graphical style, though, and the minimap at the bottom is a really neat mechanic - just needs a bit more time on gameplay, I think!

I've updated the instructions for the game does that help?

Basically you can only move your forces forwards and backwards, slow or fast, stop them and get them to Dig In (down arrow) that's as complex as it gets!

It could do with a layer of polish, I managed to push my soldiers and a tank into the enemy, then they disappeared(I assume they got killed)

Yes they just disappear at the moment I'm going to work on some polish and an updated version next week will post on LD and on Kongregate.

the idea seems fun. It's not very playable right now ( especially because your soldier can run out of the line ) but I think you can make a great game with this concept.
