You have 10 days to build a self-sufficient bridge settlement while outrunning an impending storm.

Controls

Arrow keys or A/D to move

Q or ESC to deselect/cancel/pause

Instructions

Click the top circle to draw a card.

1. Building cards construct the building and unlock it permanently.

2. Resource cards grant items that can be used to construct buildings or food for people to eat.

3. Settler cards give you population.

Goal

Build as much as possible and collect as much food before the storm hits!

Can you build the longest bridge settlement to outlast the storm?

Figure out how to build Faraday's doomsday device to neutralize the storm for good.

Note:

There may be issues running the game on the DuckDuckGo browser. Please try Chrome or Firefox for the best experience!

This is submitted for a game jam with the theme "Calm Before the Storm". More info on my design process here!

I integrated everything and prototyped the concept. While I did the lighting and post processing to enhance its graphical fidelity, I did NOT create the art assets, VFX, animations or sound. List of assets used are credited in-game.

Future ideas maybe:

- Roguelike restarts - gain permanent upgrades for each storm defeated, even if you lose. (UPDATE: this is now experimentally added in v0.3!)

Other future ideas?

- Storms will have HP bars and can summon other weather elements like tornadoes. You need turrets to shoot the storm and harvest tornadoes. Reflectors to reflect lightning back at storm, etc.

- Islands?

- Impactful moral events (eg sacrifice 10 settlers to gain more food lol)

- Buff cards to boost production for X seconds

- Electricity?

- Achievements
