This game was made in 9 days, for the Historically Accurate Game Jam #8

Description

After the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961, following the collapse of the Batista government in Cuba, the CIA was starting to get desperate. Unable to impress the president, who had a harsh view of communism and saw it as a national security threat, the agency began to scramble for more and more outlandish plans to "get rid of Castro". This game depicts some of the very real, and very bizarre, plans that the CIA came up with to assassinate Fidel Castro.


HOW TO PLAY

Easy Mode: Succeed at any of the minigames to win. 

CUBANO MODE: Succeed at ALL minigames to win. (very very hard)

You only have one try at each minigame. Good luck!

  • Baseball Minigame: Press and release LMB to throw the baseball. When it is close enough to Fidel, click to explode it before he bats it away.
  • Marita Minigame: Click as fast as you can when she picks up the gun (gets harder the more time passes)
  • Explosive Cigar Minigame: Follow the path of the suitcase the agent drops, and label it when it reaches the other end of the sorter. Be careful! The sorter sorts somewhat randomly if multiple bags enter simultaneously.
  • Milkshake Minigame: Click on the ice pick to break ice. Break ice around the poison pill in order to free it from the ice. Careful to not break it. When it is free, click on the hand to pick it up and click on the pill before the drink reaches the other end.
  • Poison Pen Minigame: Click and drag to write a signature (any line that's long enough counts), but don't get stabbed by the needle!
  • Sniper Minigame: Find and shoot Fidel when he is not being covered by boxes or other pedestrians. You only have one shot, to the head or chest. His hitbox is slightly smaller than everyone else's.

Controls

how do you do the pen mission? its basically impossible for me

you have to just hold and drag *veery* carefully the pen across the paper (it doesn't really matter what you write as long as you do a long enough stroke)

This is one of the best game jam games I've ever played!

This game feels right out of the flash era of gaming. Brings me back to when i was a kid

Thanks! That was actually something I was trying to emulate when making the minigames, I'm glad it was successful ^^

I was really looking forward to trying this one out and it definitely delivered! The character design is great and the games were challenging but fun. The story of Marita Lorenz is one of my favorite in all of history and you executed it perfectly lol. Great job!

Great art! Really impressive how "put together" the whole thing is

Thank you :D
