See i'm new to this Jam stuff but what i've found is how much it pushes you to add the next piece to you game so can that be done here?
Can you submit a game your building with the idea that you are going to add to it and that bit can get voted on?
This game seems a fun starting point for something that could be much better if the player was aloud to individually control the soldiers by clicking on them and taking over - however as a stop gap before that even if there where small walls or obstacles to hide behind and shoot from or over it would be a great improvement, sound is great!
Why does the download want to make changes on your computer? I downloaded it but when the computer warned it wanted to make changes I stopped and deleted it. I use Unity which doesn't as far as im aware make any changes to a computer when you open its sandboxed demo application - i'm paranoid i'm a web developer.
Graphics look fun though, I like old style simple games where your not under the pressure of multi player frenetic time constraints, just you and your imagination on a rainy afternoon!
I'm creating a game that is a lost part at the end of a well known eighties TV series where one member of the ex duo on trying to branch out into flying as a career crashes into the ocean only to wake up in hospital in one if a small group if islands the wealthy secretly hide out in - anyway there a murder and he is on one more case, he was bored in retirement anyway, but these jams are great they push you forward in game creation and having just had a push from another detective jam the "Detective game jam 2025" that forced me to put in a communication text system so investigating could be done in Happy to be a part of this jam see what it forces to happen! Cheers!
There's a Ferrari waiting to be tested here, and a new communication system has been added but that means you need to get in the Helicopter and fly Due South to the second island, if you cant wait to land just press V to bail out, then go to the Scifi bar and you can talk to Julia inside - only way out is Escape key at moment, but you may not want to leave!

Ok went to page got into Lonely Pickles Hostel
but couldn't move or change screen after entering hotel and music started, even though I tried every key and mouse, however i'm not disappointed, speaking as someone who grew up in the Spectrum, Amstrad, Commodore 64 era, and having a Speccy ( 128K of course ) I had a nostalgic moment with the music and scene, cant wait to see any improvements, Bravo!
So reading the rules, and having just built my additional games in for my portfolio on itch,
