Retro Island War
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
My Linux Game Jam 2017 entry.
Mainly built for the raspberry pi model 2 B with an XArcade keyboard attached. Normal keyboard scheme can be picked at launch.
It might work on older PI devices, but I cannot guarantee 60 FPS on those. The engine is coded in C++, and the gameplay in JavaScript.
In my particular case, the PI is integrated inside the XArcade keyboard making it a complete machine by itself that can be plugged to a monitor. I use remote connect with Putty to debug/launch the game on it.

Congratulations to the 1st place in the Linux Game Jam 2017, it's well deserved! Your little game had such a wonderful retro flair in it, because it really reminded me of some old strategy games I played on the Sega Mega Drive, if I'm not mistaken right now (sadly I don't know the title anymore). The whole game design is minimalistic and simple, but it doesn't make the game itself too easy at all! This balancing, the bit of a challenge and your oldschool pixel graphics led me not just to write a recommendation article about your game and to upload a little gameplay video of it, but also to include it in our GOTY 2017 list. :) Thanks for this experience, I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to your future projects!
Best wishes,
Sebastian
Hey thanks @gamejamcurator !
I should probably update the binaries.. Currently it only runs on raspberry pi and PC.
You're welcome. :) And heh, might be a good thing. ;>
For those interested, I added a real Linux build, not just raspberry PI. Also added OS X.
A very nice little twitch pixel RTS!
