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.
