Turn the Tide

made in a week for Resist Jam
game design, art and code by Erika Verkaaik ~ a small clicker about fighting oppressive forces ~

I wanted to create something that was about working together and fighting back against authoritarianism. I chose a river to represent this oppression because it is unrelenting, uncaring, perceived as unstoppable and will push you backwards unless you continuing fight against it. To represent resistance, I choose to use beavers as their dams play an essential role in preventing disasters, filtering toxins and creating a habitat in which themselves and other species can flourish.

Thanks for playing my game! I hope you enjoy it :)
