Crandell Stryder arrives to a tiny world to bring peace, love, bubblegum to everyone.
And ponies.

Rules are as follows: you appear at random generated city and start bringing love and peace by clicking at everything and earning points. Use WASD to move around.

Every time you die, you goto upgrade screen and buy some upgrades.

Every level you enter is bigger than previous. And more enemies, er, unhappy creatures, are there too.

Have fun!

P.S. All sources are included with binaries. Hope someone might find something useful.

P.P.S. People asked for a web build, and here it is. Tested it so far, plays like it should :D

P.P.P.S. For those, who mentioned lags, or those, questioning the stryder, welcome to my journal. I wrote a post explaining most of the stuff.

It's rather sluggish on my machine, but I love the sounds, and I love carnage! It reminds me that I've been waiting for http://theycamefromhollywood.com/ for over a decade, but I doubt it'll ever appear. :( I had problems getting points, but I still liked walking around.

glad to know someone liked it :D
being honest, when i first made all the adjustements and started testing, i couldn't stop making that evil laugh

fun a but a bit of a clickfest, looking forward to your next entry!

This being a unity entry, couldn't you have made a web version :) ? Anyway, the game had pretty effects (smoke+explosions) and I enjoyed it. But it was very weird :p , I mean a pretzel robot transforming buildings to sunflowers by shooting them? Is there some hidden meaning behind it.

This is one of the most fun LD entries I have played so far. Awesome job!

Is there any way to destroy the helicopters? Couldn't figure that out.

This is a pretty fun entry, although it gets laggy eventually. The err...flowers were a nice touch. Good job!

Seemed like fun, but it runs far too slow on my my Mac for me to play I'm afraid.

A tripod bretzle! That's strange.
A little too hectic for my taste. The graphics of the city look pretty nifty.

There wasn't much element of gameplay except "hold mouse down and move". I killed everything, only losing a tiny amount of health.

Nice little shooter, though it needs more player feedback. I wasn't sure if what I was doing was the right thing or not.

I was promised love and peace when I clicked, not explosions!! :P Nice graphics, and I liked the sounds (even though they were a bit quiet). The pretzel health gauge made me giggle.
