Sweep and Clear
A downloadable game
Inspired by Space Hulk, in Sweep and Clear you control a squad of four marines who need to complete a mission while fending off aliens.
Play happens on the map included in the PDF. You'll need 7mm cubes or similar tokens of various colours to track marines and aliens. You'll also need a playing card deck to represent unrevealed aliens.

Fun game! I played both missions, second mission was too easy, especially as I expected mission 2 to be much harder than mission 1. What would you change to make the game more difficult?
I’ve not actually play-tested mission 2 yet, which explains why it’s easier. Do you have a sense of why it was easy compared to the first mission?
1. I rushed the scout to the key (using a few heroic points)
2. I rushed another marine to the door and opened it (maybe using heroic points)
3. Then it was fairly easy to have at least two escape, but really they all escaped
A few ideas to make the game harder:
1. Change number of enemies spawning. Add cards with number 4 to the deck for example, or always add 1 to the card drawn.
2. Reduce the number of heroic points, or make them roll over to the next mission so you have to choose to use them now and run the risk to really need them later.
3. Make the enemies move faster (5 instead of 4) so they do get a chance to get close. When they are unrevealed, they actually move the equivalent of 6.
Another comment: I found the melee option to be so much worse than the ranged option that I barely used the Brawler's ability. I preferred for him to shoot, than risk getting hurt during melee.
This is really useful feedback. Thank you. When I update the game, I'll take all of this into account.
