Robo Hipster Annihilator 9000
(Z) - Interact
(X) - Annihilate
Arrows Keys - Move

The Robot Overlord has issued an important mission...
Identify and annihilate all hipsters... perhaps enjoy some fine art on the way.
Make sure to interact with the targets first.
Innocent life forms should be spared the robot wrath.

* No hipsters were harmed in the creation of this game.
I would probably be considered a hipster by most, so please realize this is just a general goof against douche baggery.

Tested on:
Mac OS X 10.7.5 with Java 7, and Windows 7 with Java 7
(you need Java)

My annihilation button did nothing on Windows 8, but I thoroughly enjoyed interacting and reading all the dialogue. Nice job.

mikelovesrobots329 Apr 2013, 03:25

8-bit sprites were cool. Well, they were cool back when I did them originally...

Filth and Money29 Apr 2013, 03:26

Really liked the idea, but was a bit confused by what was going on. Graphics and title are great, too!

householdutensils29 Apr 2013, 03:27

I love the music loop and the art is striking. I also laughed, literally, outloud at some of the lines.

A+ Would play again.

mire29 Apr 2013, 03:29

would be great to have walk animation/movement. Having depth makes me want to move up and down like a Beat-em-Up

Nickardson29 Apr 2013, 03:29

This was pretty fun - pew pew!
Took me a minute to figure out you could only annihilate them while talking.

Infin829 Apr 2013, 03:29

Hilarious stuff, testing my hipster radar :) .
Great voice acting too! I encountered a bug though. A hipster resurrected after i annihilated him, then became an innocent. I found out after I annihilated him.

bb_buster29 Apr 2013, 03:29

I liked it. Made me laugh =)
Didn't realise there was non-hipsters to avoid at first and I accidentally destroyed one. I liked the concern for that too =P

All in all a good job.

harleylaurie29 Apr 2013, 03:42

You can not annihilate the hipsters, not at all what I was expected.
This game should be called Robo Hipster Interactions

uberneen29 Apr 2013, 03:47

I spent a decent amount of time trying to get jglfw to build and it just wasn't happening. I have to leave it unrated for now, but I'll try again later.

Cybearg29 Apr 2013, 03:54

Amusing game. Really enjoyed the art style.

Kortuga9829 Apr 2013, 04:44

Great game, although by ~round 5 I had seen all of the possible hipster phrases and it got a bit monotonous. Good work though.

EdoMiyamoto29 Apr 2013, 04:55

Really nice, +1 for voice acting

deathray29 Apr 2013, 05:04

I was playing this game way before it was on the Most Coolness list. :) I like the graphics, but I couldn't figure out the gameplay... wish it was longer.

MvT29 Apr 2013, 05:09

I liked the art references, well done.

badlogic29 Apr 2013, 16:15

Laughed my ass off.

Merkoth29 Apr 2013, 16:17

Like the sprites and fits the theme. Like the humor, it reminds me of a game you've probably never played :P

Kiwiboi29 Apr 2013, 16:18

Wow that was hilarious :D "Hipster down"

ananasblau29 Apr 2013, 16:18

You can annihilate hipsters. and it is fun! great game, great graphics.

Ernyz29 Apr 2013, 16:19

I laughed so much, great entry!

AdventureIslands29 Apr 2013, 16:24

This was pretty funny, some of the comments were hilarious! wish there has been more of them, the game got pretty repetitive quickly after you have read all the messages and know what to kill. Great sounds too, really liked the robot voice.

adnzzzzZ29 Apr 2013, 16:31

This was unique, simple and hilarious. Really great job. It reminded of the work of a french writer who was heavily influenced by Albert Camus... Mmmm, nevermind, you've probably never heard of him.

Casino Jack29 Apr 2013, 16:40

Loved the art, music and dialogue. I think there might be a bug though - no matter what I did, the 'X' button always told me to find a target first.

gilmore60629 Apr 2013, 16:45

Eerily realistic simulation of living in San Francisco.

pereubu29 Apr 2013, 17:38

I must admit, it was really funny :D

artifex29 Apr 2013, 17:44

Dude, funniest game so far!!!! Great job.

SenorDiablo29 Apr 2013, 17:49

absolutely brilliant. Will totally check out your other stuff if you have any

Nikteddy9229 Apr 2013, 17:50

LOVE THIS GAME!

KILL THEM ALL!

ilovepixel29 Apr 2013, 18:42

I don't know if I was playing it the right way. I pressed X and it didn't kill. The concept is really fun, nice way of making fun of the theme.

TobiasL29 Apr 2013, 18:47

I ran it on Windows 8 and it worked perfectly fine for me. Pretty funny dialogue and nice style. Found a bug when I killed a hipster close to a wall he kept on rolling around the gallery dead for the rest of the round :)

Fabien Porée29 Apr 2013, 18:57

This is sort of unpleasant.

FuzzyWuzzie29 Apr 2013, 19:04

Hah, that was hilarious! Nicely done!

dick_claus29 Apr 2013, 19:11

Great move. Enjoyed dialogs so much.

Crazi45629 Apr 2013, 19:58

Was very amusing/funny!

lightnarcissus29 Apr 2013, 20:23

Pretty funny and the art style is solid.

omaromeir29 Apr 2013, 20:45

Cool little game, pretty funny too. Not that I approve of killing hipsters :p.

Frozen Fractal29 Apr 2013, 21:23

Haha, wonderful :D I love the hipster's monologues and the robot's snide remarks. Very well done.

spilth29 Apr 2013, 21:39

Was cute and well done but could use more hipster phrases.

egos29 Apr 2013, 22:03

i didnt have fun maybe due to the english based gameplay

ronsho29 Apr 2013, 22:34

Odd that the levels were the same when all you needed to do was write different quotes. Nice music!

Prelucid29 Apr 2013, 22:58

Loved it on OSX. Made me laugh when I annihilated my first hipster.

Danvil29 Apr 2013, 23:54

Nice art :D

tacograveyard30 Apr 2013, 03:31

Haha, pretty clever!

Lianne Booton30 Apr 2013, 03:58

Super cool! Had to read the comments to figure out how annihilating worked, but after that it was very fun :)

arrogant.gamer30 Apr 2013, 05:08

I gave this a remarkably high score, considering that it isn't like __amazing__. I think you pretty much hit the button with this as far as LD48 entries go.

It preminded me of a game about the Turing test: an online multiplayer game in which cyborg hunters interview cyborgs... and each other!

Loren30 Apr 2013, 05:28

awesome music :)

Kix30 Apr 2013, 08:21

That was an extremely satisfying game

Royal Railway30 Apr 2013, 09:09

Some of the quotes really had me laughing. The target system seemed very buggy, though.

Hadyn30 Apr 2013, 09:10

Great humor and an interesting take on the theme.

BarrensZeppelin30 Apr 2013, 09:16

*robotic voice*BOOM CHA KA LA KA

In tears x3

Jubjub.30 Apr 2013, 12:33

Wow, this was ridiculously hilarious. Had thorough fun! 'kiss my tin can!"

Ithildin30 Apr 2013, 14:05

The hipster lines are hilarious :DDD

The game is really cool, but I had a bit of trouble with the "Interaction" key, sometimes it would not respond.

Despite this, great job! :)
