Mug for Drugs by fakeshadows

[raw]
made by fakeshadows for LD25 (COMPO)
Real-time Dopewars/Drugwars style game.

Controls: Arrow keys for movement. Esc to pause. Z and X to interact with NPCs*.
Objective: Pay off your loan by dealing and mugging. Avoid the police!
Tips: Helping old grannies will reduce your notoriety.

*You use Z and X to interact with the NPCs. You can't interact with them all straight away. The only thing you can do at the start is to mug one of the old ladies.

As you gain more money and resources you should be able to interact with more of the NPCs. Other "shop" items/interactions are displayed at the top-left as they become available.

The main gameplay is playing the buy/sell prices of one dealer against another to reach the loan price before the time runs out or you get killed by the police.

I had one problem playing the game... when I press UP or DOWN, the browser also scrolls up and down.

I didn't downrate the game because of this, but if there's anyway to fix this, I think it would be a good idea to do it.
I am using Google Chrome on Windows 7 here.

Thanks for the feedback. I've changed the styles on the site so it shouldn't scroll the screen.

We can move, we can pause, but what is the gameplay?

Ah crap I thought it'd become apparent as you moved around.

You use Z and X to interact with the NPCs. You can't interact with them all straight away. The only thing you can do at the start is to mug one of the old ladies.

As you gain more money and resources you should be able to interact with more of the NPCs. Other "shop" items/interactions are displayed at the top-left as they become available.

Cool game, javascript ftw! One tiny bug: using a german keyboard layout, I am having a hard time pressing "X" and "Z", because they are so far apart (we have Z and Y switched over here).
