Hopeless

Hopeless

After years of burning coal, came the heat. The last survivors ride on a train, followed by the deadly light of the sun.

This game was developed for GMTK Game Jam 2022.

Further development

We decided to develop the jam entry into a full game. We will update the itch.io build as we develop. Please wishlist Hopeless on Steam. It means the world to us!

Manual

The whole game is played by drag and drop.

Throw the "coal" dice into appropriate slots to get a boost. If you're too slow, the sunlight will burn your train, so keep the engine running.

• Blue dice into blue slots
• Red dice into red slots
• Big yellow slots accept all colors

The slots have additional requirements. 

• Drag multiple dice into the big yellow ones to sum up to the desired number.
• The little ones accept only one dice and have additional conditions:
  • e.g. min 2: you must drop at dice with at least a value of 2

You can manipulate the dice with the provided abilities:

• Increase your dice value by one until a maximum of 6
• Swap a blue cube for a red one and vice versa
• Divide a cube into two halves (only possible with even ones)
