Keep Society Alive by Tom Cumpsty
My 3rd Ludum Dare. Too ambitious as usual.
Due to the global pandemic, people have taken to selfishly stockpiling the very thing that holds our great society together.
Toilet paper.
Without you, society will surely perish. Only you can remedy this situation stockpile enough of a reserve of toilet paper to Keep Society Alive!
First ever Pixi.js game (I've been looking for an excuse to play with it) so I hit a few bumps. Not mobile compatible unfortunately, you need a keyboard to play.
You are supposed to be able to drag items into your stash and the concept was for a multiplayer game with the same mechanics and weapons.
Edit:
I intended to add more instructions at the start, but ran out of time. So this should help:
- You need to collect the toilet rolls and take them back to your stash (where you start) to score.
- The police officers are enforcing a lockdown and there's a chance they will spread the virus to you if they get close. You can't shoot them (unfortunately) but you can run.
- the health pickups either give you health packs or medicine that eases the virus.
I'm considering developing this further, and creating the multiplayer version.
Changelog: Quick bug fix. Fixed a bug where taking a white pill could cure the disease completely, rather than just easing symptoms.

However, I found that the movement was not smooth, indeed, it seemed to stutter a lot on my side, so it prevented to enjoy well the game.
But, overall gg for your work ! I think that with more time it could make a great multiplayer game !
