I needed to take a gander at the instructions to figure out what to do... but after that? its free real estate.
I was frantically adding in the final score screen with minutes to spare so unfortunately a start menu and tutorial went out of time scope... oops!
Thanks for checking it out :)
Great job doing all of this in the time frame! I did think that the way you earn money vs lose money was a little hard to understand, so maybe ust a better feedback system in the future would be much appreciated! Loved the free real estate guy though, very charming.
Thanks for checking it out and glad you liked it!
I agree totally - the fences were the first system I programmed and I was stuck myself on how to implement them with the gameplay loop. I think it would have been better if you closed an area off permanently to yourself and the cops would take fences thus reducing your total area leading to more space + money management..... but alas such is the case with a short time frame ':D
Interesting idea, making money from nothing :-)
I found the control scheme a bit strange Why the right mouse button? The mouse isn't used for anything else in the game and there are plenty of keys left on the keyboard.
Thanks for checking it out and for your comment!
You are absolutely right... ':D I think because I was recently working on a top down shooter I instinctively wrote the function to use the right mouse button and then never changed it due to lack of time/optimizing.... It should totally have just been on the keyboard!
Thanks! Yes the player character is a no good person at all haha
Anyway, it is fun to play as a bad guy instead of being him in reality)
Neat well done - like the sfx
Thank you! I wanted to replace the "punch" sound effect as it sounds odd but ran out of time haha
