This is a really solid entry. The spy trade is brutal, I only had 2 spies the whole game who survived more than 3 missions. Most of these rookies died on their first mission. Couldn't cut it in the big leagues, I guess. Shout out to Agent Shah (RIP) and Agent Park for carrying me through the game. I got to 92% but also had the issue where I couldn't click the aircraft carrier. I'm just gonna count that as a win.

Great submission, really well done on the art and UI design, everything looked amazing and it all worked really well together!

Definitely one of the most interesting gameplay loops I've seen this jam. I would've loved if it had some evolution in the mechanics as the playthrough went on as, after a while, the loop starts to get stale. Maybe the items we have access to could slowly unlock as the game goes on, and other mechanics could be added in to spice things up. However, I can understand how much of a challenge that is in a jam, especially considering the complexity of the game's concept.

All in all, this a solid submission. Well done!

Nice game, I really like the graphics. Well done !

We had fun playing. This is a solid start and has a lot of potential for growth.

So much to say about this game! First of all, I love it! I really really like the concept of strategically building teams and performing tasks and I have attempted it myself a few times.

My first game experience I had no idea what was going on. I did stuff randomly and my team kept leveling up. Sonia Cabrera died pretty early, but her sister Angelica picked up where she left and became a powerhouse. At some point I lost the good Oliver Meza quite late into the game and I had a sudden realization: you can hover on tasks and the tooltip will tell you what kind of requirements it has. I was only relying on can success/will fail at that point. Perhaps that info should be directly visible? Maybe cutting of some the character visualization space on the left side. Anyways, I got to 92% or something on the World progress bar and I had 2 missions left: the air carrier on the left and blackmailing the president. For some reason, clicking on the air carrier did nothing. I could not bring up the mission UI. For the president, I didn't have the right stats neither in my team/available hires nor I could get them through items so I gave up.

But with my newfound knowledge I came back for more! I now paid attention to task stat requirements and tried to match and possibly exceed them with items and thoughtful hires. Nothing could stop me. Except all my spies died at the very first mission, often leaving me unable to hire another one. Repeat this for 4 or 5 more runs. Then I gave up.

Anyway, it was very cool to play. The art is fantastic, the sounds are fun, UI/UX could use improvements (but very few jam games can afford not having this issue) and I'm biased to love this concept. I really wanted to complete it, but I could not manage to, as I couldn't quite figure out the numbers.

Well done, please make more? :D

Such a fresh concept and creative spin on the theme - absolutely loved it! Somehow it gave me plague inc vibes, and I am all for games with worldwide-scale events. This one’s got serious potential to grow!

Cool game! As others said, the pixel art is stunning. I like how this is Plague Inc inspired, always loved that game! The item variety was nice too, and once I figured out what to do this sucked me in for a long time!

omg, how cool is the pixel art?!

Wowowow these graphics are so sick! The art reminds me a bit of uplink for whatever reason, lovely cyber aesthetics! Sometimes i felt like i’d only make like $100 on top of the expenses per mission but maybe im just kitting my spies out too much? Really lovely job all around though!

You can just feel how much work and passion went into this project. Great job! I sadly didn't get to the end, but you learn and adapt as you play, which is neat.

Also please check out the game I worked on. Thank you!

Audio and graphics were awesome. We had fun picking spies and seeing how long they would last. My only complaint was not really being sure what was going on with the items? And I wish the spy pool would refresh periodically. We ran out of spies :(  But awesome game!

Same feed back for me than Nori_Nori, I loved the art style and the gameplay looks promissing !

but I haven't been to figure out what I should be doing as soon as the game start.

I think a small description on the itchio page would really help me.

Gj still, the game is realy appealing

I love the graphic for this game! The sfx cracked me up good too.  Nice game. I think however it would be great if you have more tutorial in your description about how to play the game. Might just be me but I am having a hard time trying to understand what I need to do.
