coop copter scabs

CO-OP Copter Scabs was created over a weekend as part of the Global Game Jam in Regina, Saskatchewan. The game was inspired by the recent labour dispute at the CO-OP Refinery Complex, where union workers from Unifor594 are locked out.

In the game, you are a helicopter pilot transporting scab workers from the airport to the refinery, flying over the city and the picket line. As you transport more workers, the flame at the refinery gets higher and higher, as can be the case with less experienced workers running the refinery. If you transport enough workers, the refinery blows up and the game ends.

If you don't transport enough workers in time, talks resume and the union workers get back to their jobs.
