The AI didn't do anything, so it didn't seem to matter how long I took.

I never had to change command modes.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm not sure what the resources did. I collected them all on the first game and not at all on the second. It also felt like the path faded too quickly, but I guess I could have drawn it more slowly. =)"}],"images":["ld26\/21534-10d6fb2dafce8d3965de64a35fa41c09.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/nexantic.com\/ld26","text":"Web(Flash)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"26530","g_author":"21534","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"26560","g_title":"Duds","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"251","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/21534-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"We spend half of the time figuring out Haxe and Haxepunk since we never touched both of them before.\r\nSo it was our first game ever with Haxe and Haxepunk...\r\n\r\nAt least the core mechanics works kinda and we got a playable build.\r\n\r\nWill see if we use the 3rd day (probably not) to implement more features. gotta go back to RL.\r\n\r\nAbout the game:\r\nThere are 3 factions (1 player, 2 npcs)\r\nYou can control your Duds by drag and dropping your mouse on the background to draw lines.
