Wasteland Post

Acid rain season has arrived in the wasteland. Trade between the settlements must continue, or they will fall to ruin. You are the sole trader up for the job.

Wasteland Post is a tense top-down action game where you must race deliveries between settlements to keep them alive while plotting paths that avoid the ever-drifting clouds of deadly acid rain.

Made in 3.5 hours for Trijam 268 (theme "acid rain") using PICO-8

How to play

Controls

• Arrow keys control the bike
• Press X to open/close the map

Gameplay

Your goal is to keep as many settlements as you can alive until the storm passes (indicated by the bar at the top of the screen).

A settlement needs regular supplies to stay alive. Supplies can be obtained from other settlements, and can also found found in the wasteland itself. Once a settlement's supplies have been taken, it will produce more after some time.

Tips

• Use the map regularly to determine which settlement's are in greatest need, and the best path around the rain.
• You can drive while the map is open
• Tactically darting across the rain where it is weak can save a lot of time
