You are an AI working for an evil mastermind, who is planning to destroy the world. Take control of his robotic minions, and either hold off or kill the different heroes while your master's various drills reach the planets core.

Controls:
- Left Click or Space to shoot
- Right Click or Shift to switch to a different minion
- Left/Right or A/D to Move
- Up or W to use Powerups
- P to pause
- M to Mute Sounds

Worked right to the deadline this time, so apologies for any bugs or errors that are experienced.

Man that is one tough farmer...and a creepy army dude. I feel like they're the bad guys.

This was good. A lot of content. I like the way you show that I failed: "Look this is the Earth, it has not exploded". Hyper repetitive music fits the game. I like that you made a animation that shows the transference to another AI.
Some more music, a bit slicker graphics some more upgrades and I can imagine being a nice game to play on a mobile device.

Screenshots look good, but I can't run windows. Congrats, though!

Doesn't look like my computer can run this. I'll try a different computer when I can.

I couldn't tell if my minions were shooting or not, and wasn't sure what advantage switching between them really gave me. Interesting game though, I'd love to see you add more.

Nice. The graphics were funny (lol at that bald army guy on lvl2), and I liked the audio, but it's a shame the music didn't loop seamlessly. Also, I think your shooting status should have been more apparent. Sometimes I wondered why my guy wasn't shooting. But otherwise, this was a good entry. Nice job.

I have no idea what's going on... I'm just doing nothing and winning... This is bad :(

Can you recompile with the XNA Reach profile? Right now I can't run it on a DX9 machine.
