The game envisioned was a RTS (I know a bit too ambitious for Ludum). In the end I had to scrap pathfinding and go with air based combat instead. The targeting is a bit wonky too.

Controls:

Scroll to zoom WASD / Arrow Keys to move Left click to place buildings Left click on an airbase to build scouts Right click on an airbase to build bombers

Instructions --

You start with placing your HQ on a red island of your choosing. The fog of war sets in and you can still only build on the red islands.

You can switch which building to place with 1,2,3:

1: Missle Launcher (unfinished but you have to place all of them anyway). 2. Artillery 3. Airbase (When clicked, it spawns new aircraft)

After building all of your buildings on varying islands, you need to build some scouts. Do this by clicking the airbase (the road thingy).

Build 5 of this and combat will begin. Find the HQ of the enemy with your aircraft.

I wanted to go so much further with it but i got stumped a couple times and thought it was the end. I always forget to keep it simple.

A bit confusing at first, I still don't know how to control the aircrafts but it was still pretty fun. Nice job, an RTS in a jam is pretty good achievement, congrats.

The idea sounds great, but I don't understand how to play.
