Control info is in the read-me, and the game is winnable, though punishing. This was the first jam for each member of our 3 man team, and we are pretty happy with the result. Snowman easter egg, for the theme none of us wanted to win. \r\n\r\n@Calebbyrd0\r\n@_sheridanr\r\n@that0neguypj (Brandon J.)\r\n\r\nEdit: I wanted to give you guys a heads up since the people I've seen trying it seem a bit stumped. You hold space to generate more soldiers from the rations on the ground, and the enemies have a bit of AI that will punish you if you press forward too early. If you send a small part of your force out for rations and leave the majority back to defend the base, you'll dramatically increase your chances to win. The enemies respawn forever, so wear them down a bit before you press in to destroy their base. Good luck.\r\n\r\n-@CalebByrd0\r\n\r\nAnd finally, here is a video to show that the game is actually winable, got it in the second round, have won it as late as the 7th. Thank you all for playing, it's already a lot more than we expected\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ircBGxi7MIw\r\n\r\n-Calebbyrd0","title":"LudumNam"}
