Here’s an old one – the winning(ish?) entry from the 4th LD48. The theme was Infection, here interpreted by a cheeky wave of communism spreading through cute icon-based conversations! From the readme:

In a quiet, foreign country, all hell is about to break loose.

The populace are being infected by a deadly evil – communism, spreading through the country like a tide of blood. Enemy agents are on the prowl, converting civilians to their cause by rational argument and quiet discussion. This propaganda operation MUST be stopped. As a responsible and patriotic American soldier, it is your duty to protect these innocents from themselves. Should they side with the communists, annihilate them immediately. For as long as they do not – keep them safe and friendly.

– IN SOVIET RUSSIA, COMMUNISM BELIEVES IN YOU.

(NB. In the interests of exploring both sides of every issue, a Soviet Campaign has been included – whereby you, as a responsible and patriotic Russian soldier, are charged with keeping a neutral country free of the influence of the imperialist pig dogs.)

Commies took home a couple of Pellies – gold for Overall and Sound, silver for Humor and bronze for Completion, so I guess people liked it! Mostly, though, it was just a blast to make. I’m not really sure why I’ve missed all the LDs since… probably laziness. Still, I’m usually lurking in the wings to check out whatever people make.

Go download it!
