The invasion has begun! Get into the seat of a huge mechanical spider and let your robot rip through the bodies of the fleeing goblins/rabbits before they get to their ship. They DO fight back, at least for a few seconds.

Also. Walk LEFT, which makes sense since they are escaping.

CONTROLS

asd = control of the robot, walk to the left

mouse = fires and aims the gun

HARDWARE

opengl 3.1 (#140 shaders) - If it wont work, pleas try to update your drivers. If that wont work i'd be very happy if you could tell me what graphics card you are using. =)

THOUGHTS

I actually do feel pretty good about this, since the semi-disaster that was LD20.

What i especially like is:

- parallax scrolling

- Lua controlled bots

- Component based game architecture

- The spider, since i cant really draw/animate.

- That i rolled my own pretty much everything. =)

What i don't like is:

- That i did not test it on other systems, will see if i can scrap the 3.1 (got it down from 3.3) shader requirement.

- No crosshair, and various graphical glitches

- People walk right

- No animated ending

- No weapon upgrades

TIP

- press the right mouse button once for autofire

- if you cannot play, please watch the video! =)
