It's Free Real Estate - Trijam 202

Made in ~3 hours for the 202nd Trijam. The theme was Free-for-all.
Note: The game starts automatically as soon as you press play! Reading below is recommended!

===Controls===

  • WASD/Arrow Keys to move around
  • Spacebar to place down a fence
  • Right mouse button to get rid of a police officer

===How to Play===

You start off with $100, see how much you can end up with within a minute!

You are always trying to sell an area made up of 4 fences. Press spacebar to place a fence down. The further from each fence you walk away, the more you have to spend on building materials. Once 4 fences are placed you will get a payout depending on how much area you sold. Be careful to not run out of money!

Each time you place a fence there's a chance a police officer will see what you're up to and try to steal your fence. You will hear a whistle for each officer that comes your way. Prevent them stealing your fence at all costs! You can swat officers away when you're touching them by using the right mouse button.

With each 4-fence area completed you will get a random bonus, and the chance of police officers spawning will increase!

How much money can YOU produce off of
FREE REAL ESTATE?

===Notes & Credits===

The game sometimes bugs out when a police officer tries to steal your fence at the same time you completed a 4 fence area. I wanted to stay within the three hour limit so if this happens to you, press "R" to restart. Usually though, even if the game bugs out somewhat you can still play...!

There's a lot I'd like to add with more time;

  • proper graphics
  • upgrade shop
  • construction zones

But I'm happy with what I achieved in 3 hours.
