Dog Days by ruthiepee

It's the middle of summer and the people of the midwest need their hot dogs! However, they're unevenly distributed to each town, so it's your job to even it out.

Get points by giving hot dogs to towns who need it.
If you need more hot dogs, you can destroy a town, but you'll lose some points, so choose carefully.
Alternatively, you can do absolutely nothing and just enjoy the randomized town names. That's what I do.

The music is absolutely lovely, and I think the do nothing strat is the best way to enjoy this game.
I had a great time, well done!
I really liked the aesthetic, the graphics, the music, it all worked together well.
Also, Go HaxeFlixel!
@lenny-sirivong You're absolutely right: "the do nothing strat is the best way to enjoy this game." If I expanded on the concept it would just be procedurally generated towns and scenery. No more hot dogs. B)
@limered Yeah, no goals or penalties are this game's fatal flaw. The sacrifice is that you have to destroy some towns in order to give other towns hot dogs, but when you can't 'lose' the game... you're right, it doesn't feel like a sacrifice at all. Oh well.
I love generated names, so keep making more of that please! Also be sure to tell your mom that she's in your new game. Thank you.
