Galactic Roadside Assistance

This is a game developed for Ludum Dare 53 with the theme "delivery".

The game is a point and click strategy game centered around delivering fuel to stranded spacefarers that have called for rescue while avoiding obsticles.

Narrative:

Running out of fuel in never fun. Now imagine you are out of fuel in the vast empty darkness of space with your oxygen and food supplies dwindling.

However there is no need for dispair galactic citizen, Galactic Roadside Assistance is here to save you!

Our trained professionals will fly to you with the fuel you need to continue your journey through the stars.

We have recently expanded to a brand new region of space and you have been put in charge of managing our operations here.

Press SPACE to pause, ESC to quit and M to toggle music.

Here are some quick instructions to get you started with your brand new VERY IMPORTANT duties:

1. Use LEFT CLICK to select your different units

2. With a unit selected use RIGHT CLICK to issue orders to it (holding down SHIFT allows you to queue orders and holding CTRL will allow you to setup repeating partols)

3. Distress calls come in periodically and will be marked on your map. Each marker shows its time remaining and fuel needed.

4. Command your Refuel ships to refuel the stranded ships before they perish. Return Refuel ships to the base to refill their cargo with fuel.

5. Each basic Refuel ship may hold up to 5 units of fuel. You may adjust the amount of fuel loaded by the base using the SCROLLWHEEL (Refule ships with lighter cargo travel faster).

6. Unfortunatly we are not the only once roaming the darkess. Since the founding of the G.R.A. pirates have been trying to claim our fuel for themselfs. Be sure to steer clear of these good for nothing thiefs.

7. Fortunatly we have managed to get our hands on some Combat ships which may be used to scare away the pirates.

8. Lastly our Rescue ships may be used to bring stranded travelers vital food and oxygen so they may survive longer while they wait for their fuel.

8.1. Rember we pride ourself in our 100% success rate, so if someone perishes on your watch then you might want to look for a new job.
