Island Survivors

Hey ! Thank you for visiting our page!

We made this game in 48 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2023, which follows the theme "Reversed roles". We wanted to make a survival game, but instead of playing as one of the survivors, your goal is to make their lives miserable.

You have the power to unleash various elements with the tip of your finger, such as tornadoes, sharks, comets, or wildfires, to prevent humans from expanding their society and increase your score by eliminating all humans as fast as possible!

We hope you enjoy wreaking havoc in this unique twist on the survival genre!

Don't forget that the island is procedurally generated, so you can get a better score on another island :D

🇬🇧 Controls and Tutorial (English):

• Once the game started the map will be displayed, you can find the survivors on it, they are wearing orange t-shirt
• You can move on the map by using WASD or ZQSD or moving your cursor in the edges of the screen
• You can also zoom in and zoom out using the middle button of your mouse
• In the top right corner there's the survivors ressources, if the survivors have enough food, water and wood they will build houses and reproduce
• Your goal is to destroy their houses and kill them as fast as possible (there's a timer revealed at the end) and with the highest score (displayed in the top left corner)
• To do so, you can use your abilities at the bottom center by clicking on the images
• Keep in mind that each ability cost score points (costs are displayed under the respective images)
• When an ability is activated (left click on the corresponding image) you will be able to hover on the tiles of the map, if the ability can be use on the tile, the tile will turn green, else it will turn red
• If you want to undo an ability you can right click on any tile

🇫🇷 Touches et Tutoriel (Français):

• Au lancement de la partie, la carte s'affiche. Sur celle-ci se trouve les survivants, ils portent des t-shirts oranges.
• Vous pouvez vous déplacer sur la carte en utilisant les touches WASD ou ZQSD ou en déplaçant le curseur sur les bords de l'écran.
• Vous pouvez aussi zoomer et dézoomer en utilisant la molette de la souris.
• Dans le coin droit de l'écran se trouve les ressources des survivants, si les survivants ont assez de nourriture, d'eau et de bois ils construiront des maisons et se reproduiront.
• Votre objectif est de détruire leurs maisons et de les éliminer le plus vite possible (vous êtes chronométré) et avec le score le plus élevé (votre score est affiché dans le coin gauche de l'écran)
• Pour gagner, vous pouvez utiliser les actions dans la bar d'actions en bas du milieu de l'écran. En cliquant sur une image qui correspond à une action.
• Keep in mind that each ability cost score points (costs are displayed under the respective images)
• Lorsqu'une action est activée (clique gauche sur l'image), vous allez pouvoir activer cette action sur une case de la carte.
• Survolez les cases avec votre curseur, si la case est verte, l'action peut être activée dessus, si la case est rouge, c'est le contraire.
• Si vous ne voulez plus activer l'action, vous pouvez l'annuler avec un clique droit de la souris sur n'importe quelle case.
• Si vous voulez activer l'action, effectuez un clique gauche sur une case valide (verte lors du survol)
  

Known issues:

• Exploit to get infinite score points.
• No map displayed. (You move the camera before the map was generated and get too far)
• Keys for moving the camera are not always the same (probably depending on the user keyboard or webgl build)

Post jam update:

• In game tutorial/controls explanations.
• Less camera shake.
• Fix executing abilities on the tiles of the map.
• Fix camera movements.
• Make the sprite of the dead survivors disappear over time.
• Adding more disasters.
• Make the fire ability more useful.
• Faster survivors reproduction.
• Choosing abilities with hotkeys.
• Better balancing between costs and results of the abilities.
