Submission for Eggplant Community Game Jam #2 - "Good Times with Bad Robots"

Full screen highly recommended.

CONTROLS:

WASD to move camera

Mouse Wheel to zoom camera.

HOW TO PLAY:

Game Flow:

The game consists of 5 days, each day covers standard working hours (9:00 - 17:00)
Spend money between days to upgrade or hire couriers.

Pause Button (top left)

Job Board (right side)

New jobs will periodically appear in the "New Tab"
Use the Assign drop-list to assign it to a courier, or back to the new board
Jobs in the courier board will be split into parts, a "PICK" (up), and a "DROP
The arrow button on each job can be used to move the job up, down, or to the top, or bottom
Jobs assigned to a Courier will be performed in the sequence that they appear in the list (top is first)
Hover over any job to see where it appears in the world.

Courier Panel (bottom left)

Use the drop list to select different couriers
This panel displays current and total carrying capacity for each courier, as well as their status, and stats.
Use the "LOCATE" button to ping your couriers location - the highlighted region will get more specific over time.

TIPS

There is no penalty for Incomplete jobs. Late jobs pay out the least.
It is often worth burning a job to be more productive elsewhere
Take your time! Its not always worth going out of your way for an "ALL DAY" job, wait until you can form a good route.

STATS

Speed -movement speed in the world
Capacity - total carrying capacity, exceeding your weight limit will dramatically reduce speed
Comms - accuracy of location reporting
Wisdom - general city and building navigation. Higher wisdom means less time spent in buildings, and lower chance of getting lost.

Job Payouts:

The canonical gameplay is to not know the exact location of couriers, but you can press "P" at any time to see them if you would like.
