Heavy Candy

Sell sweets illicitly, under the cover of concerts. Lure potential buyers to your concerts selling the goods. Don’t let the police find out.

That was the premise for this game but sadly...

[DISCLAIMER:] This game was never finished.

Made during Fall Game Jam 2018, organized by LiU Game Jam, based on the theme House Big Sounds.

Candy has been made illegal but the demand is higher than ever. The cops are hitting the business hard however so you decide to sell your goods under the cover of hip hop, metal and opera concerts.

You want to make your potential buyers associate different music genres with candy selling while keeping the cops off your tail by fooling them into associating the wrong genres with candy selling.

This unfortunately never made it into the game. Buyers can supposedly buy candy at your concerts but you as the player have no means of supplying the concerts with anything to buy. Buyers and cops may also associate candy with different genres but even if that is the case it is not noticeable. This is because while the UI is mostly complete it was never successfully hooked up to the game state. This excludes the hotbar at the bottom however...

Playing instructions

Pick a band by selecting their van either by left-clicking it in the hotbar or pressing the corresponding key. Then select a building (other than the blue police station and your green HQ) in which to hold a concert by right-clicking it. This will start a rave-like concert drawing in both potential buyers and cops. (Neither of which will ever find any candy)

Hip hop bands use yellow vans, rock bands red and opera bands blue. Pro tip: Be careful with hip hop concerts, they can really hurt your ears.
