My Little World Domination Simulator by Ace
So, you've decided your hand at taking over the world without falling into the traps earlier villains have failed at.
All you need to play is either a wheel mouse or a normal two-button mouse and a keyboard, I guess you could make do with a pair of loose up and down arrow keys but that's up to you.
Controls:
Left click and drag minions (They look like hardhats) to perform nefarious acts, dropping a minion on an objective will send him/her out there do your evil bidding.
Right/middle click and drag the world to move your view, due to budget cuts we couldn't afford to stuff the entire world into your screen at once so this'll have to do.
Scroll wheel/up and down keys will let you zoom in and out of the world, to better track your domination.
Escape will bring up the menu if you're in-game and also acts as an abort button if you get cold feet when seeing the menacing main menu.

Overall pretty well designed though. I like the world map!
When I move the mouse cursor onto a white box after zooming in, some information on what these characters can do is displayed. But I am unable to do anything, or have I missed something? Maybe it does not run correctly on my PC.
- Could use a bit more variety
- Needs a bit of a tutorial, it was a bit confusing what to do in the beginning.
- I'm not sure how you could lose. I understand your basis is Evil Genius, which I adore, but I must say that the original is better ;)
So yeah, do keep it up; I think it has potential but isn't just there yet. For the record, I'm a whiner, mine isn't any better :P
As with the white text on Windows 8, the font I'm using to draw the text is literally baked into the executable so it can't happen because it's missing. All very strange and I have no idea how to fix it, sorry.
This is the first LD game that I've ever given full 5s to. I hope to see further revisions on this!
