Escaping Winter

Escaping Winter

Earth has been ravaged by wars, and the damage to the environment seems irreparable. The climate is decaying rapidly, and it's not getting any better. Time to abandon this planet and escape the endless winters.

In this game, you control a colony of survivors and help them endure by choosing from one of three cards every turn. These allow you to place improvements, which will help you produce the food you need to survive, and the gold you need to do research. Research allows you to choose from better cards, and eventually, place down rocket parts. Assemble all three rocket parts, load them up with the required food and fuel, and leave this doomed planet behind.

Features:

• 3 difficulty settings
• 33 cards divided over 5 tiers
  
• Procedural map generation
• An endless mode in case you do want to stay on Earth
• Maybe frogs?

Theme:

The jam themes were "Mundane tasks" and "Decay". The idea is that everything you do is relatively mundane - overseeing farming, mining, etc, but the threat of the rapidly decaying climate makes it exciting.

Challenges:

One Button - Technically playable with left mouse button only, so it's tablet compatible (hotkeys exist though)
Infinity - The game allows you to keep playing as long as you like even after you win
