Clear Screen by Valtaroth

[raw]
made by Valtaroth for LD31 (COMPO)
Note: If you cannot see the UI in the Web Player, try updating your Unity Web Player Plugin or download a standalone version. :)


Your screen is falling apart and the creatures living inside it ask for your help to save it!

Clear Screen is a strategic building survival game in which you have to manage your resources to keep your screen from falling apart as long as possible. Try to beat my best time shown in the last screenshot!

This is awesome. Right up my alley. Only played it twice, but this nailed the economy game. Book marked to come back to later, as it appears I need more factories. :)

This a fantastic game, such a cool concept, managing gets frantic as hell as soon as the screen starts falling apart.

This is pretty good! I think with a bit more polish this could actually turn into a pretty good commercial game. The first time I played through I was really confused, but the second time everything fell into place! Good job. :)

fun game haha. im not sure if you actually CAN win?? after a while it seems like the decay is going sooo fast. The concept is fanatastic though and really gives you a sense of crisis and good economy game too!

Cool game! Very fully featured and looks quite done. Gameplay is fun and the strategy is very apparent. Also the tutorial is very nice. Theme was well implemented.

Nicely done. Is there a way to victory or I can only try to keep alive as long as I can?

Cool integration with the theme. Not a big fan of this style of gameplay, but hey, it works okay.

Thanks everyone for the comments! It makes me really happy to see how many people like it. :D

@raincole No, it's impossible to really win the game right now. It's just a survive as long as you can/highscore type of game.

Really original idea. Would have loved to see a high score board :)

UI didn't render for me first time around (which was very confusing!)

My best is 271 sec. This was totally apocalyptic ^^
I think the game could be less chaotic with :
- worker try to fill gaps closer to the factory first
- hole appear near another hole(90%) or in a random spot (10%)

@Benjamin Not bad! The workers are actually trying to repair tiles closest to the factory first but get the closest at the moment of them finishing their last task, so it might not be the closest once they got a fresh tile. Maybe they should always grab a tile and then look for a broken one to repair. The idea of tiles near broken ones to break is good, too. Thanks for your suggestions!

Thanks to everyone else that commented as well :D
