David vs Goliath: What the government doesn't want you to know

Sorry I had to reach out to you like this, you know the only thing they are not watching are the Ludum Dare 56 submissions. This is a true tale that happened not too long ago. Okay, technically a couple thousand years ago, the whole David and Goliath thing. But it could happen again. With robots and stuff. Frankly, robots make this only likelier if you really assume a thinker pose and think about it seriously. So I want to show you something that is probably* most likely* pretty much provenly* already in the works from the guys above. A real... tallspiracy.

* No warranty, besides it's pretty much proven, you don't have to look into it or ask for sources or stuff

This was a very experimental Ludum Dare for me. I tried to cut off a lot of fat. Scoped a lot lower, reduced the intro/outro a bit (but on reinspection I just babbled longer in the voice lines, alas), and tried to keep it relatively short and simple. Schedule-wise it went a lot better this time than usual, that is something at least. The theme was pretty open (e.g. I couldn't come up with good gameplay for it and offloaded the theme into the story) so I went with gameplay I hadn't tried before, one of those mouse-controlled top-down shooters (there's a bit of effort to make them work with the Dreamcast controller). Was a pretty fun genre to work with! I hope it's not too barebones and you can at least get a little something out of it. Thanks a lot for checking it out/playing/rating it!
