Great idea. Hulk like smash Ludums :)

Ryusui1 May 2013, 03:52
This was hilarious - needed a proofreading pass for the in-game text ("break," not "brake"!), but "minimalizing" other people's games with a hammer was strangely fun.
lotusgameauthor1 May 2013, 07:08
Thank you everybody for your comments. We are very proud to make you laugh so much :)
@Ryusui Thank you for noticing this mistake. We made the correction, as everyone has the right to change typos ;)
MauMaGau1 May 2013, 13:32
Great stuff, very innovative =D
stefan1 May 2013, 14:35
This is a nice idea, its cool that you include real "data". Very funny :)
oskardevelopment1 May 2013, 20:02
Nice game! Is it possible to select your own game to break? Currently the game selected to break seems to be random?
Adipson1 May 2013, 20:11
Very fun and excellent humor ! i like ... hey... i hope you did 'nt brutalize my game ! lol

Dohan1 May 2013, 20:57
Amazing game to play after a lot of time rating games! I should finish every judging day playing this :D
omaromeir1 May 2013, 21:53
Hilarious entry, destroying other people's game to minimalize them? brilliant!
lotusgameauthor2 May 2013, 09:45
@oskardevelopment : You can't break your own game. They are selected by random except yours. As omaromeir has summed up well, the purpose is to destroy other people's game to minimalize them :)
Misfit2 May 2013, 16:44
Sound effects are great. Hehee.. unique idea.

Hilarious! Can one minimalize our own game? or is that a minimal spoiler?
Travis Irby3 May 2013, 00:56
Really funny! I enjoying hammering others' creations :)

Amazing, laughed so much whilst playing this. My only gripe is the garish colours.

Also, damn, that leaderboard is tough to get on.

Clever idea - and helps others get more exposure (prior to being smashed).

The intro video was brilliant, so hilarious... XDDD

I loved the game as well, a really clever use of the theme :)
SmilingCat4 May 2013, 13:00
Lol, this is one of the funniest entries I've seen. And with an intro video, even! Awesome job!

Xgor
Xgor4 May 2013, 18:26
Awesome. Wish it was a feature though so I could smash my own game just because it would be funny.
Boiúna4 May 2013, 19:30
Amazing! Really funny and unexpected use of the theme.

This game really lets the player let out some pent-up aggression.

Ahahah so much fun. Love the weird french accent of the guy in the video.

manax8 May 2013, 03:01
Very cool concept. Well done. Cool that you even have a leaderboard. :)
Cake&Code8 May 2013, 06:12
Really clever and funny game! I love the idea of it, smashing other LD'ers games. The powerups kept it interesting, and it was fun to be able to smash all the games. I wish the difficulty was bumped up a notch. It was fun for a while, but it was far from difficult until I played for a really really long time.
TenTonToon8 May 2013, 06:18
Amazing overall concept, even if there's not a lot of gameplay there. The introductory video is hilarious, and the game is quite fitting of the theme. It's awesome how destruction can bring a certain sense of community! :)

Also, the tech is put to surprisingly good use, and a destruction click feast... that never gets old!

Best score: 85890$ "Save the Bunnies" turned out to be unminimalisable ;)

Congratulations! :D
AndyBumpkin
AndyBumpkin8 May 2013, 08:41
Clever stuff! Cool video before the game and enjoyed a couple of rounds. Kind of wanted it to get to my game so I could smash that up too!
Does it ever find your game on the site? Does it turn into the infinite smash lotusgame project? :D
Harsay8 May 2013, 11:23
Funny

smotko8 May 2013, 22:47
A fun idea and the physics is well done as well. It gets a bit repetative, though, but I liked it overall! Well done.
mildmojo8 May 2013, 23:39
Love the use of other games' screen shots. And the sound effect for the Strip Potato was priceless.

Had fun playing this with a drawing tablet for input.

@Mase : Use a drawing tablet is an excellent idea for this game ! Smart :) Sure you can reach the top of ranking ^^

Definitely fun while it lasted.
HD40811 May 2013, 11:05
Brilliant. And nice sounds too.
Madball11 May 2013, 13:34
Very interesting and fun game. How did you test it, I wonder?
There is a bug: sometimes the breaking sound stops, powerups stop appearing, if you have an upgraded hammer, it doesn`t change back to normal visually, but acts like normal.
Also, at the game over screen, it sometimes loses a letter of the author`s name. Intended?
Tiago Ling Alexandre11 May 2013, 15:08
Awesome game! Incredibly fun, crazy concept, really innovative! Congratulations!
lotusgameauthor11 May 2013, 19:27
Madball says : We tested the game on all LD25 games. Same HTML structure for the robot that scanned LD website.
Thanks for bug reports. I think the author name bug is due to non utf8 chars...
Thanks for your nice comments !

Smashing glass rectangles of a Ludum Dare 26 game to create pixels tickled me. If you continue to develop this, clicking the rectangles got a little repetitive.
Brassawiking
Brassawiking12 May 2013, 21:49
Cool, the leaderboard should have been on the frontpage =)
brantkings13 May 2013, 12:29
Nailed the theme so hard it hurt.
MathiO13 May 2013, 12:37
Well that was different! Haha, hilarious sound effects... Hm, just read the comment about the tablet... I have a touchscreen laptop, I think it's clear what must be done

Good idea and pretty fun (and it make advertisment for the other game)
loxo14 May 2013, 19:05
I like your game very much. It's fun to play and the inclusion of all the LD26 games is a interesting concept. With a trackpad it's really hard, though.
CrazyGage14 May 2013, 20:06
Nice. What a fun way to manipulate the games. :)

SuperDisk15 May 2013, 22:53
Really funny. Mostly consisted of just randomly smashing mousebutton though.

I want to break freeee :D

I love you. I just love you.

I saved myself 77k and minimalised my competition.
Super Hamster
Super Hamster17 May 2013, 04:35
Very interesting game idea, I just thought it was not challenging enough(maybe because I did not play long enough but I played long enough in my opinion that it should be hard). I am very surprised that you were able to make this though, as it looks very complicated to make.
dremelofdeath
dremelofdeath17 May 2013, 09:57
Very interesting, really liked the glass breaking effects. Had fun smashing things, as always! :P
lotusgameauthor18 May 2013, 10:20
Super hamster : just simple things / concepts that we put together and different skill sets, nothing complicated enough we could not do it in 3 days. To tell you the truth, the dev whas only about 1 day and a half :-)
Infin819 May 2013, 10:17
Awesome meta stuff!
