I thought I wanted to make a game about launching missiles, but then I thought about it some more. All I really wanted was to make a game about moving an unwieldy cursor over a radar screen and pressing a button to do something.
So here we have SUPPLYDROP, in which you control a crosshair over a busy radar screen. Distant and imperilled groups of people have pooled their scant resources to send a distress signal, in the hope of reaching you and calling down desperately-needed supplies. You can help them, but their signals are terribly brief. Moreover, you only have ten supply drops to use. One supply drop can feed many people, but do you want to hold it back, in hopes of two beacons near each other? Or will you respond immediately to each call?
Watch for the signal beacons (orange squares). Move the crosshair with the arrow keys and use Z to place supplies near or on them to help those people. At the end of the game, you'll see your score and how many groups you saved. Any groups you missed will lower your score.
(Press Z on the score screen to restart.)
I had a lot of fun making this one over the last few days. I hope you enjoy playing it!
