TRIPLE THE DEFENCE BUDGET

The idle game where nukes are legal, affordable, and widely available!

The year is 248XX.

At long last, the masses rejoice as world peace has been finally achieved. Citizens feast on bottomless bowls of ambrosia and Not Hheetos and live together in harmony. Puppies and kittens embrace in the streets and play with paraplegic children, growing and building a world of love for all.

However, in this idyllic world where war and conflict have been permanently set aside, there is one problem:

The rapidly plummeting defence budgets of nations across the globe!

Orders from the powers-that-be are clear: a slashed budget is unacceptable. But, in this new era of unending peace, how could you justify any amount of military spending?

You decide that you will save the budget in the only way you know how.

You book a flight to Neo-California. You bring your arsenal- the collective might of your nation- with you.

Triple The Defence Budget is a submission for Winnipeg Game Jam 2025. Many thanks to the contributors on this project:

• Hero67, who did the spritework for our lovable drinking bird and contributed several weapon concepts (including a few of my personal favorites);
• NovaDC, whose contributions to the game's title screen and various visual enhancements are innumerable and invaluable, who drafted the scene-setting piece you just read on this page, and who also threw wads of wet toilet paper on the ground for the sake of this game;
• rensoftworks, who smelled really weird throughout the entire weekend and didn't do anything that was very important.

This game is a work of fiction. Any similarities to real world entities, living, dead, or other are purely coincidental and not really our problem. 

This game contains a LOT of flashing lights.
