It's a machine of evil... a Super Evil Machine!

It's simple:
- get all the Things into the Super Evil Machine
- don't run out of Evil

You do this by:
- flipping the panels that the Things walk on
- pressing the Pusher!
- move up and down rows using mouse wheel/touchpad scroll or arrow key

Rows spawn by themselves, Things spawn by themselves and everything has a mind of its own. Can you control the chaos and keep the Super Evil Machine happy!?

Post your high scores -- there's no theoretical limit to high score or numbers of rows, interested in how far everyone gets.

[Sunday night] posting web version, Windows/Mac builds and code are going to take a while to upload.

[Sunday night, a littler later] all versions uploaded, and source is uploading now.

The art style is trange, but at the same time interesting (and still hurting my eyes). It might be interesting to advance it a bit more (it really reminds me of post-it notes).

Lovely! This is perfect for a touch device, get this on android or iOS!

Hi nice style, but it's a little sore on my eyes.

The game concept is kinda cool, but I sadly lost interest pretty fast since there wasn't really anything to keep me playing. I think it would be better if it was played faster.

Dat music o___o
This game is awesome.
Simple concept, addicting as hell!

This was pretty fun and music was awesome! However, sound effects were kinda annyoing ( but at least there were some! ) and the gameplay was kind of slow. Art style was great too.

Could really use some design polish, but I feel like it has good gameplay at the core

Very good music and interesting game. The pusher was difficult to trigger, as clicking just off it in the yellow just above or even below triggered the platform above.

This was great! I managed to get one of the platforms to stay halfway tilted, which made me play even longer trying to replicate it. Nice and addictive, love the art style.

Nice art and fun little game. Really like clicking the piston :) Would be cool to have more parts to the machine and also if the bodies were to pile up in the container.

The music isn't my type of thing. The rest of the game was nice, much clicking.

Wow, the music is amazing; really enjoyed it. The art style was pretty cool too. The gameplay was alright, but it kind of got boring quickly.

Nice graphic style. Good idea.

Really enjoyed the animation on the hapless souls, amusing sounds and superb music. Not the easiest game to get the hang of, but fun and well made, thank you! -J

Very nice game, love the style of the art and the music!

Nice idea! Like the unique color.

Controls were a bit iffy, it took some time to realize that movement changes depending on where you click. It also wasn't really clear wehre the guys have to be dropped.

Music is weirdly fitting. What tools did you use?
Gareth Jenkinsauthor5 Jan 2013, 17:06
Hi Matthias -- thanks.

It was done in Unity, with a free model for the jumping dude (from the asset store) and the music was from http://ccmixter.org/. Sound effects were done by me / my voice -- recorded and tweaked in Audacity.

Cool and promising concept! I suggest add a more pressing challenge and working on the mechanics a bit more!
