The Coup by Darylsteak

Beneath the surface, something is brewing.
In the far off South East Asian nation of Malapang, where the rainforests are impregnable and the beaches and great,
there is talk of an impending military coup.
Of the nation's 7 top generals, 3 are planning to overthrow the monarchy. As one of the 7, you must find out who among your peers is part of the plot, and who is ignorant. Prepare your troops, curry support from other generals, and stand fast before defending against the inevitable.
Controls: - Click on the photos on the bottom to access your fellow generals. - "Sabotage" allows you to sabotage someone, if they are a rebel this will delay the coup. - "Spy on" allows you to potentially gain intel on someone, this can be done multiple times. - Clicking on a highlighted part of the map allows you to access your troops. - "Move" allows you to move a battlegroup. - "Give" allows you to give a battlegroup to a fellow general, buying them to your side once the coup begins (assuming they aren't a rebel)
The rest should hopefully be self explanatory.

@jimmothysanchez Yeah, ideally I would have added a tutorial but sadly ran out of time. Thx for playing and the feedback!
@superpokeunicorn Mhm, I wanted make a game where the thing happening simply wasnt the end of it. Sadly I wasnt able to add a proper tutorial before the deadline so had to settle with the current help system. Might try developing a proper game from this in the future. Thx for the feedback and for playing!
@witherk I was worried I wouldn't make the deadline haha. Unfortunately couldnt add a tutorial in time, the coup time jumps up in the event you manage to sabotage a rebel general. Thanks for trying out and for playing!
@vorpalsnark Thank you and thx for the feedback!
@boxedmeatrevolution I wanted to add the troop movement idea! This game idea kinda was sitting in the back of my head for a bit and this is basically a lite version of that. Perhaps in the future if I do decide to go ahead with a relatively large game that will probably be added. Thanks for the valuable feedback and for playing!
@toastertot Dammit, figured there were gonna be a coup of bugs. I'll go work it out and pop up a patched version. Thx for the bug report!
It's sad there is no music or only few sound(s), where you in a team ? (I'm asking because there is no other name attached to this participation, and it's not a "Compo", so we cant know)
I won a game, but I did not really got the point.
I like that it's happening in asia, it's original.
I dont know what to do when I have the pen in the hand, I had to reload the game because I felt stuck.
The game is original I guess, but I cant say I liked it
