How does your game fit the theme?
Prepare for disaster! You have 5 minutes to safeguard your homes, livestock, and cattle from the impending hurricane!

This is a simulation, time management, strategy game.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
YES! Very happy this time with all of the assets. I did not get time for music, sorry about that.

I am a sucker when it comes to strategy game, but I kinda suck lol. I really like the gameplay, the various mechanics really forces you to play strategicvally. Its impressive how you made this whole rts mechanics within week by yourself, superb work!

Cool concept and building mechanic. I think if you added music and sound effects, it would make the game better.

i loved the concept and the builder mechanic, but i didn't really get what was i suposed to do once the hurricane comes and i have no money left, just watching it bounce around. Would love to play again with a more developed tutorial tho!

Developer

I ran out of time, but I wish I could put in some tooltips to explain. Basically if you build barriers in the proper way around your houses and crops, you can protect them when the hurricane comes. Then after the round is over, you can get more money to rebuild, feed your cows, plant crops, etc.

Thanks for playing!

Yeah, i think i protected my houses and crops, but when the hurricane came it just bounce of the barriers for a while... how long should it take for the next round to start?

Developer

It usually lasts a few minutes, but putting it on 10x speed really helps. Then it's like 30 seconds or so.

great idea and good execution, but i think it would benefit from having a textBox appear when you hover over certain things (to label them), and i also had some trouble figuring out how to place different types of wall. other than that i really liked it tho

Developer

Yeah I wish I had more time to implement that! A couple people have mentioned that tooltips would be a big helper. Thanks for playing!

Good Idea, and a very interesting approach to the mechanics of the storm. Just wish there was a little bit more feedback especially when guiding the cows. 

Would love to have your feedback on my game https://todryn.itch.io/battleground-commander
