Faking the Space

Virtual players move around an open world, but only if the area they're in is loaded. While waiting for their area to load, a player gets frustrated, and eventually leaves. Load areas of the map into memory, and unload unneeded ones to save space. You get a point for each player that reaches their destination.

Controls:

• Left click to load an area of the map into memory.
• Right click to unload it.
• Space to restart when the game ends.

I spent 9ish hours on development so it's jank and ugly, but the game essence is just about there.

The Windows version was compiled on Linux with static MinGW so hopefully it works 😬.
