All Lines lead to boom by Peter Ondus

[raw]
made by Peter Ondus for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

Sometimes you get so upset about the delays on the tube you decide to blow it up. Well maybe you wouldn't.. but someone decided to do that and now you, a group of random people, called forth by the TfB (Transport for Boomtown) have to somehow save everyone at one of the busiest stations from being blown up..

It would be all nice and easy if you could just stop the criminal, or invite them in for tea, but there's no stopping them and any attempt might be met with an explosion. Best you can do is evacuate the target station and delay the bomber until it's empty

But before you can call the evacuation, you first have to find out which station they want to destroy, otherwise it won't be of much use.

Use the different abilities of your characters and your tube planning skills to cause delays and save the citizens of Boomtown

Mouse required, keyboard recommended

Bug fixes

  • fixed victory screen text
  • fixed an issue with being able to unpause the game in main menu before starting it
  • trains will now actually show up in their proper location on the first pause when the game starts

Post jam

Obviously, this is not part of the submission, but I'm stating it explicitly, just in case.

So I did a little work on the ui elements to make them stand out more, and in general to make the game more eye-friendly.

Feel free to leave some feedback on that, although it's not technically part of the submission anymore.

Next steps

  • make a video explaining how to play the game
  • add some music or just london tube sounds to play in the background
  • add a hard difficulty
  • add a couple introductory levels
  • who knows
