La Résistance is a game about rebellion. Your hometown has been taken over and corrupted by the most evil, dastardly, foul-smelling meanies the world has ever seen: The French. As an upstanding member of your non-French society, it has fallen to you to lead your town to victory over the marauding Frenchies. Organize your militia to take Guerrilla strikes on the enemy, arm yourself to the teeth for an all-out war, or go full stealth mode, using covert operations and subterfuge.

Recruit mercenaries and heroes in the form of exiled French figures, from Coco Chanel, to André The Giant, and use their special abilities to give your men the edge on the battlefield. Destroy French monuments to pick up special bonuses and combat buffs, or just a truckload of money.

Beat back The French at every intersection, Coffee Shop, or 4-Square, and take back your town!

Gameplay features:

  • Many difficulty levels - play all the way from Novice to Absurdé!
  • Sacré Bleu Mode - Bonus missions where the aim is to destroy as many French monuments as possible to gain the greatest score!
  • Je vous souhaite de prendre cette idée comme une blague, je ne suis pas un sens à offenser personne!

You have recently enrolled at the world-famous School of Designing Things. Your first assignment is called 'One Game at a Time' (your lecturer assures you that the joke is hilarious, and that the soap opera 'One Day at a Time' was indeed a pillar of trendy 1980s society). Your task is to pitch an idea for an original game, every day, for 50 days.

Your lecturer informs you that plagiarism is absolutely, positively not tolerated, and any idea that has the exact same name as an already existing game will be immediately disqualified. Anything else is open season though. Satire, 'joke games', zombies, and games with 'Simulator' in the title are worth bonus points, and are encouraged, so as to keep the students in line with the current quality of Steam Greenlight.

As the player, your goal is to guide the student to successful completion of their assignment. This will require you to upload an idea for a game, every day, for 50 days, in real time. If for any reason, you fail to upload an idea, you will immediately fail, and likely be expelled.

Good luck student!
