Not too many years ago, our mother earth got destroyed by people throwing their junk into the nature.

When human kind realized this they started launching their garbage into space.

They soon realized this was a even worse misstake because when they had to leave earth, there were nowhere to go.

So they put up a reward for bringing back all their garbage to the planet.

That's where you come in, control the Garbage Drone(TM)* and collect as much junk as you can.

When the spaceday reaches it's end (even though there are none) you can sell the junk you've collected and purchase upgrades for your ship with the money.

Although be aware, people who are shooting at you are not friendly and should be eliminated ASAP.

Tools used:

Visual Studio C++ 2008

SFML 1.6

Photoshop

GameMaker's sprite editor

Controls:

WASD - Move your ship around

Space - Shoot, activate menu item

Arrow Keys / WASD - Select menu item

Other stuff:

This is my first C++ game and my fourth Ludum dare entry.

If you get stuck somewhere just drop a comment and I'll get back to you about it.

Also, I'm sorry about full CPU usage, I ran into a last minute problem with the accuracy of sf::Sleep() causing half FPS and had to uncap it.

I hope you enjoy the game!

Please leave me a comment with some feedback!

Thanks for an awesome LD,
