HOW MANY DUDES?
This game seeks to answer a burning question about Dudes. How many does it take to defeat:
- 10 Toddlers?
- 4 Dog-sized Rats?
- 6 Wolves and an Alpha?
- 1 Silverback Gorilla?
Enter the Dude Ranch, where you recruit Dudes to fight in an arena against ever escalating challenges. Improve your Ranch, manage your Dudes, and see just how many it takes to beat-up a Gorilla.
Think your Dudes are impressive? Share your best victory on the Discord.
There's an option for removing the cartoon blood if that's not your speed.

The jam's theme of 'Loop' led us to explore replayability and roguelike aspects of game design, leading us to this meme-question that loops back into greater internet conversation every few months.

Surpringly fun. I play on mobile so the only graphics that work during battle is the health bars... but still, i cant stop playing it haha
it keeps on flashing blue for me and it super anoying
Fun game! Darn those gooooooattss~ <3
Hahahah I loved this!
Eventually just got into a war of attrition loss that ended on Wave 83. At some point it basically comes down to shop RNG of what you get to replace your lost dudes. Since the only thing that really matters is DPS. Once you start losing your Ninjas and only get like Zombie shops. It's already over, but it'll take like 10 waves of slowly falling behind on DPS before you actually lose.
Indeed! In the full game we'd have more and more harder things to fight, as well as boss rounds, so you wouldn't just slowly lose dudes to an ever-increasing number of gorillas. Lots of balance work to do and content to add for the full game, for sure!
Fighting 7k+ toddlers did feel a slight bit over the top. The slideshow experience was real. And it made me feel more like Nestle than I'm comfortable with.
LOL yeah we'll uh... probably need to cap that.
Amazing game!
Thanks for playing!
<3
dude these dog sized rats are hellish
super fun game, congrats!
Really nice game! I love the simple graphic and the concept! I made a video of my first impression of it!
(I think this happens once you have more shop slots than non-max-level upgrades?)
Yep, we just found that! Sadly we can't upload a fix until after the jam voting is complete later this week. Still, thanks for playing!
