Trench Leader: Western Front
A browser game made in HTML5

Moving from 0.3 to 0.4!

This was a long time coming but audio is now added. So many paper sound effects as well as added ambiance to simulate life in a trench. Audio will be improved as the updates continue but this is already a much better experience (I hope). Continued polish and now a way to fail the game. There is no end game goal still but at least you know when you fail and can start over. A full list is shown below of all elements touched in this update.
