Then I had to make this entire game in under 24 hours to submit it for the compo entry due to school having pre-exams, surprise sports games and getting sick. But somehow I DID IT! I don't hope to get much from this game as it was quite rushed and I had more I wanted to add but I'm happy with what I have.\r\n.\r\nTL\/DR: Game was made in under 24 hours cause school but Im happy with it.\r\n.\r\n.\r\nGame info:\r\nThe would is dying! So you must research and gather the earths resources in order to build a spaceship and escape the planet.\r\nBuild different buildings to get resources to build more buildings to get even more resources,\r\nbut be warned the more resources you get the more the earth will die. Good Luck!\r\n.\r\n.\r\nYou can follow me on my twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEFXFreedom\r\nor you can add me from steam, just say your from the ludum dare: http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/id\/notfake\/\r\n.\r\nMade with:\r\nGame Maker Studio - Engine\r\nPhotoshop - Graphics\r\nBeepBox - Music (http:\/\/www.beepbox.co)\r\n.\r\n.\r\nThanks to those who play, vote and comment. Best of luck to everyone else!\r\n\r\nEDIT: had to fix a bug where boost buildings were taking away HP too fast, making the game impossible to finish.\r\n.\r\nPOINTLESS EDIT:\r\nTo those wondering why the planet dies when you win. think of it like trying to keep the earth stable enough to build a rocket before the earth goes ka-poot.","title":"Earthpocalypse"}
