[raw]
made by OrkyOrks for LD32 (JAM)
Taking place during the cold war era, an agent provocateur is sent to the Kremlin in Moscow during the height of USSR power.

She is armed with a special serum that is hidden in a cigarette. A single whiff of the smoke produced is enough to convert the reddest of communist guards into capitalist protesters. How many guards can you convert before they find you?

Beware that you can only convert guards that are not alerted to your presence.

I love any and everything related to the Cold War. AWESOME theme! Love the gameplay mechanics too, I'd just tweak the loss conditions a bit. Other than that, solid entry!

I like it. The gameplay reminds me of Hotline Miami, and the idea is cool. It is just a bit hard to convert guards.

I couldn't find the aim in this game. I guess it was to turn all into capitalists but it would be too hard. Wish there was a mission written somewhere :)

Really nice! Got way more fun when I played from the start a second time and realised shift let's you sneak, is there a win state? I converted quite a few commies but they seemed to keep respawning

There isn't any specific win condition. It is just converting as many guards as possible for a high score! Perhaps in the future we'll have Stalin appear after the player reaches a certain amount of guards liberated!

Man I love these mechanics! (then again my favorite games are where I get to sneak about). I hope in the future you guys toss in some story and win conditions, it would seriously become a great game.

At one point, I was being chased by seven guards! Great concept.

I agree with the comment above, it was very hard to convert the guards but it has a nice tone and visuals. Good entry

Great idea... but i didn't manage to convert a lot of guards.
The russian theme is awesome, but needs some polish.

Keep it up guys!

really good idea but the gameplay was a little hard - took too long for player to turn around to puff smoke - nice effort
