The Street Gang Tether Incident

This mix of visual novel and turn-based tactical combat game was created for the GMTK Game Jam.

The theme of the jam is "Joined Together".

After a regular old fetch quest, Sophie and her friends get attacked by a rival gang. During the fight, strange magic descends on them, causing people to be randomly linked to each other, sharing the damage they take.

How to play:

Click to progress through story scenes.

Press ESC to fast-forward.

Click on your units and a reachable space to move, use the ability button to use abilities, and end your turn by clicking the "end turn" button. Defeat enemies to win the fight.

Sometimes units will get tethered together, sharing healing as well as damage.

End game: alt + F4. Sorry.

Information:

Sprites and battle sprites, as well as the first set of backgrounds were created specifically for this jam. Some of the later backgrounds and battle map assets are free assets and public domain images.

All music and story was written for this jam.

We didn't have time to finish the last two fights.
