However you have taken it the wrong way and now are hell bent on distrubiting as much salt as possible around the world.\r\n\r\nThe goal of this game is to collect as much salt (basicaly score) as possible without being detected by the humans (via the risk meter). As you preform more and more risky actions (risk of a certain action is shown by the tooltip on the left middle of the screen while hovering over an action) the risk meter will increase, and with each increase there is a higher chance of you being discovered and counter measures being put into place.\r\n\r\nIn this game I mainly focused on designing my first UI, as this is my first game and first LD, so please provide feed back on that aspect.","title":"Pass The Salt"}
