This was supposed to be the story of an unarmed protagonist trapped in a crumbling metropolis, one of the last survivors in a war against the machines, trying to make his way to the last enclave of human resistance...
I ran out of time and was too tired last night to finish this in time for the jam (it was originally a compo entry, but I'd bitten off more than I could chew).
All is not lost, fortunately - while doing this game, I learned a lot, and I like the idea enough that I plan to do a high-res remake in the near future.
Source is included; you'll need Allegro 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 to build it, and it should work on pretty much any platform. The .exe is statically linked and should not require any additional DLLs.
A cautionary note: please don't base your opinion of my skills on the art or coding style - due to the short deadline, a -lot- of shortcuts were taken and there is no error checking whatsoever (so moving any of the assets will likely make it crash).
