The Great March

Made during Ludum Dare 50.

One day, the scientists of your home planet noticed something wrong: stars were disappearing. Soon enough, they found the cause of the disturbance: something fast, traveling at high speed, was swallowing the cosmos. As a reputable and honorable democratically-elected President, you keep the matter secret, and leave your home planet in an emergency with a few trusted aides. Managing both people and resources, move from planet to planet and system to system to avoid the darkness that is chasing you!

The game can be entirely played with the mouse and escape key (pause). Your people consume food and water, and die when there isn’t enough left. You lose the game when the darkness catches up to your current planet. You need at least one person to wave to when you leave, and the more people you have, the faster you can complete tasks.

Only the various forms of food, as well as water, are necessary to survive. Other resources are related to non-implemented content (defense facilities).

Thinking of doing in a future update:

• Tutorial
• Dialogs & Storyline
• Defense Facilities: strike back at the darkness!
• Cargo trips consuming fuel & physical cargo ships: wear & tear!
