Adventure Game Studio | Games | Operation: FORKLIFT

The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:

1 Cup	Not serious entertainment
2 Cups	A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups	A good game, worth playing
4 Cups	A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups	An outstanding, must-play game!

Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been under-rated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window

If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game

The tiny island-chain republc of Vontinalys has been seized by the merciless forces of the Socialist People's Union for Democratic Democracy (S.P.U.D.D.) following the outcome of its first free elections. As a new commander for the League of Nations you must help to lead their elite peacekeeping force, the White Helmets, to victory over the tyrannical military despotism that has ensnared this nation. All the while, getting around the somewhat overinflated ego and reputation of your own leader, Colonel Kraft.

A turn-based strategy inspired by games like the Nintendo Wars series (Advance Wars, Famicom Wars, etc), and the handheld version of EndWar. Featuring:

- strategic/tactical gameplay built out of a system for adventure games, with considerations such as terrain, flanking, and supply-line replenishments.
- seven different units to deploy
- singleplayer campaign, skirmish mode, and two-player hotseat gameplay as either SPUDD, or the League.
- four different endings!
- brilliant soundtrack composed by Dan Neshor (ShiverMeSideways)
- 20% more bears than the next leading strategy!
- In-game editor to craft your own battlefields - which you can then share with your friends!

So go on - get to the battlefield! The people of Vontinalys are counting on you!

AGS Panel Review

"Solid turned based strategy game with wonderful graphics, sound & music. Very minor bugs & no skip text option is its only flaw, but this does not deter from the addictive gameplay. A professionally made game that pushes the AGS boundaries."

4 people commented on this game (newest first):

I gave up after the "joke bear attack" bug crashed mission 5 five times in a row. That aside, this is a great example of what can be done with AGS by thinking outside the box. Enemy AI appears random if you're not close to them but overall a good effort.

An excellent strategy game with a large dollop of humour added for good measure.

A very fun, clever non-adventure game. Definitely deserved the AGS Award that it won -- even though I had my heart set on that particular trophy that year... not that I'm still bitter or anything ;-)

A remarkably fun little time waster. Give it a spin the next time you're goofing off at work.
