My Way or The Highway

This game is submitted into the public domain through the CC0 License; you may use the mechanics/art assets/etc for whatever. Sources files can be downloaded here.

You and your friends have decided to settle a new town next to an abandoned highway. There are no cops here. That means whatever you build, if you wanna keep it for yourself, it's up to you to enforce it. There's no property in this game except what you carry on your back.

Build up your neighbourhood,

and enjoy the fruits of your labour,

or go to the Highway to get new things and see exciting events in the wider world!

Work together as a team,

or take all the food ...

but don't be surprised if the others break into your home!

Sometimes you'll feel drained,

and sometimes you'll be so full of Passion for your life's work that you cannot focus on anything else.

Follow your Passion!

Compete to get the most victory points, or aim for a highscore without keeping an envious eye on your friends. Or become the Vandal and make it your life's mission to cause destruction and mayhem!
