RED to the past by Spaint
Year 2025. Communism has disappeared on Earth. The last loyal communist is hiding along with his dead spiritual leader. That communist is Razumovsky Egor Dmitrievich, a brilliant scientist who studies time travel. He plans to go back in time and save his ideology, going deeper and deeper into the past...



Hello, it's our first Ludum Dare game! Original idea was to make three levels in different time periods, but well, here's at least one of them. We had a blast while making this game and got a lot of experience from it. Don't take the game's theme seriously, it was just a dumb idea with an easy setting that was fun to make, no politics involved :)
NOTE: Sometimes workers in the last zone get stuck and don't really want to work in a communist society, just gently push them or throw your sickle at them to help them remember their true life purpose.
Thanks to the people who helped to bring communism to the Stone Age with their assets:

High quality game, would really love to see what would be possible, if the project was continued. Humor is great, at least for me(I`am Polish, so the soviet theme hits hard). Really good graphics too. Sadly it takes forever to fight the capitaloraptors. Otherwise great.
Love the game, keep it up.

5/5 stars. RED stars. :star: :hammer:
Freakin' capitalists :x: :money_with_wings:
Seriously though I find the idea hilarious ! Would love to see the other levels !
Really nice game! Well done guys! :clap: :clap: :clap:
I didn't like the music much, but that may be just me.
I experienced a strange bug. In the last area, I was fighting a small raptor, I didn't even defeat the boss yet (although I took a few pot shots at him with my sickle) and didn't lay my propaganda on anyone. But I just suddenly got a victory screen. Was my inner communism just so strong :laughing:?

Thanks for the feedback!
Honestly, more focus on destroying communist dinosaurs is what we need, and maybe an easier time recruiting people to your cause after they've just seen your prowess! Who wouldn't want to join the guy who just beat some dinosaur in with a hammer and sickle.
Great work!
Really nice game! :D
