This game need a little bit better communicating of what to do for example it would be nice to get some packages in first village you are starting in lobscouse before i have gotten any packages i didn't know what to do. Also some more info on upgrades would be appreciated i don't know how much do cost those blackened ones and health seams to be very expansive in this game :P"}],"images":["ld36\/52545-f0d0b79e66a8adec915a65446a271b31.jpg","ld36\/52545-94b72da37df22eabed546d9334004cb8.jpg","ld36\/52545-88df14da29add6c4411a17b4b66dd3ba.jpg","ld36\/52545-6d55f7e2330a342a6371e7bde8ae427e.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/makerslocal.github.io\/LudumDare36","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/makerslocal\/LudumDare36","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"607","g_author":"52545","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"592","g_title":"Pony Express","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"2","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/52545-shot0-1472520426.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/52545-shot1-1472520426.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/52545-shot2-1472520426.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/52545-shot3-1472520426.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Before computers, before phones, before the telegraph...people used to leave marks on sheets of wood-pulp and pass them around to their friends. Then they found the gold. \r\n\r\nA courageous, enterprising few took it upon themselves to brave the dangerous, wide swaths of land between towns in across early America. \r\n\r\nThey called themselves the Pony Express, and you...are one of their horses.\r\n\r\n===\r\n\r\nYou win by delivering all packages on the map to their destinations.\r\nYou lose by running out of health.\r\n\r\nEach path between towns has a duration and a treachery rating (indicated by the hourglass and stars respectively). The longer the duration and the higher the treachery rating, the more likely it is that something bad happens to you.\r\n\r\nAlso, your jockey is invisible because we didn't have time. Also, it probably is inaccurate to call him a jockey but I mean. You're a horse. How are you supposed to know what the right word is.\r\n\r\nNOTE: If, for some reason, you're having issues with game state, or if we push a bugfix and your version is out of date, visit https:\/\/makerslocal.github.io\/LudumDare36\/clear and it'll generate a totally blank game for you. Or you could just lose. Up to you. :P (Technically winning also counts.)\r\n\r\nNOTE'S NOTE: If you want it fullscreen on Android, add it to your Home screen and go into landscape.","title":"Pony Express"}
