Spy Supply by Martta

made by Martta for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

Be the guy in charge of special ops armoury!

Have you ever wondered where secret agents and special forces get their equipment? Now it's your job to give operators what they need! Spy Supply sets the player as a quartermaster of a special operations agent center. It's your task to pick the right equipment for the right task. Are you up for the challenge when the trouble gets deeper and deeper?

Gameplay

The cames begins by receiving a mission document from the special agent. Your task is to get familiar with the mission and select correct equipment for the agent.

Once you have selected the items for the mission and sent the agent on the mission, you will receive a mission report about the mission outcome by fax. And you have familiriazed yourself with the mission debriefing report, you are given new mission.

Beware that you might run out of equipment, if used carelessly.

i really liked the graphics and sound. very papers please esque. the writing was also very funny! it was sometimes hard to tell what each job actually wanted me to do, like i didn't know how a secret agent could help with the suez canal one, so i didn't know what to give him. other than that, very fun!

I loved how I the opposition leader couldn't escape my camo pants, even when the Tilanne was Erittäin Vaarallinen! Very funny game, if a bit slow.

The aesthetic of this game is great! I agree that the pace of the game was a bit slow, but otherwise the limited inventory was a good touch. I ended up having to send my spy out to the middle of the forest with just a pair of pants and a poison pill... Overall great job!

I first didn’t realize they actually speak my mother tongue! Hilarious! Super funny and unique idea! Good art too! Just a couple of visual tangents that bothered me like the man’s head creating a tangent with the portrait on the wall, just nitpicky artist pet peeve of mine!

Save the president with sandals & poison pills ? Done ! Reveal a bank scandal with a salt shaker ? Done !

Great game, I liked the little details like the queen portrait, the coffee stain on debriefs...or the way the special agent wiggles his way in to gather the questionable equipment I give him x)

Funny & polished, I really had a good time !

I did run into a couple of crashes (apparently giving the salt shaker to "take care" of the leader was too powerfull of a move haha), but everything else is great. Love the concept, so creative. Great job!

Cool idea and a nice way to make a puzzle game. Suez Canal ... why does this keep happening? :D

First, the graphics are awesome ! (maybe give a few more pixel to the mustached agent jacket ;) )

I never understood why a mission failed or not. Sometimes, it seemed obvious that snow shoes would help (in syberia) and yet it didn't.
Sometimes missions succeeded with me not giving any equipment...

Also success should be written in green for better user experience.

Overall, I really liked the art and the sound design of the game.

Novel idea, I had my fun with it.

I have to admit I didn't like the audio. I can see what you were trying to achieve with it, but it didn't work for me. Otherwise, cool entry!

The espionage vibe is always a win when it is in 2D style.
Got a bit confused with the item distribution since I gave it all away in the beggining.
Overall really fun concept!

Seems like you were inspired by Lucas Pope :D Good game, requires a bit of imagination to think how the items would help the agents. I liked the references to current events, like the Suez canal.

A very nice game. Beautiful and compact graphics, nice writing. The gameplay is a bit random but that's the beauty of it. It's funny. Thx

I think it was impossible to fail because once I did not choose any objects and mission was fine. I had to finish on mission with president as instead of going to the right it just opened the book again and again. But it can be something fun, unusual way to complete missions

"A poison pill helped unblocked the ship and secure million dollar" Man that was hillarious xD . One of the most entertaining jam entry I've played so far, you literally have so many choices and to pick the one that fits the mission was not the way most player would do, since after a while we are left with trivial items xD The art and animation was over the top, the gameplay was immersive (felt like I became a spy corporation owner), but overall I don't see where it fits the theme, or at least not that tightly. Thanks for such an interesting game concept :smile:

Got some nice Papers Please vibes from his game! Love the concept of managing a spy agency supply, and the stories were quite funny. I would just let the player speed up some of the animations, receiving the fax for the first time was neat but after 10 it gets a bit long ^^'

I liked it. You can see that lot of work has been invested in it. Nice history details, interesting theme.

awesome storytelling, I was hooked and smiling when reading the stories because they are very funny!

There is a bug with the book where we had to wait until it completely closes and sets down before moving on, or else it'll keep opening back up.

Maybe I didn't get it right, but max fun wasn't really fun (should it be humorous or there's a change in gameplay or something?). The concept is insteresting, but the logic seems vague. Pixel art is fun and terrifying at the same time (and the sound is quite creepy!). So, I mean, there's a cognitive dissonance here: more fun option turned out to be a thriller. Anyway, I think I may try playing more to get to the bottom (deep) of wherever this story is going (if it is).
