IMPORTANT: Windows version MUST have XNA Framework 4.0! Google it! Mac and Linux versions MUST have Mono Runtime! Google it!
As the title says, this game is about destroying. You have 10 seconds to destroy as much as possible with a wrecking ball.
In this game, there are time warps. They bring the time back to 10, and 2 of them spawn when the time is 5 and when both of the other two are collected. They spawn anywhere in the map and also have a spinning beam.
There are 2 different maps. One is a city map, the other is a randomly generated plains type of map.
CONTROLS: WASD to move, Space to ascend, and Shift to descend. (Camera only moves horizontally due to rotating problems.)

Anyways, this game was all coded by me with some help from my friend for building. This was my first Ludum Dare, and I am entering the next one!
I like the "Wrecking ball" idea, but you should have had some sort of physics engine, perhaps use unity next time you have a project like this so it will be more satisfying.
Damn, good concept, but camera is quite bad... I noticed block disappearing after a few seconds. Camera looking from above, smoothly rotating/moving... That would be better voxely experience. And maybe add some physics like someone already suggested. Or ditch the ball and name it 3D rubber. That would be another interesting concept, 3d erasing certain voxels for some mechanism to work.
The music and (suddenly) main menu screen is groovy, reminds me about Hotline Miami. Gameplay, I can only get camera to move in horizontal though when I chose to play on random and it spawned terrain for me which is far below I can't get to it.
A good idea, although the controls could use a little more polish (like, controlling the ball using the mouse) : vertical movement was quite hard to get used to. Also, it seems like the city level is not resetting itself, and I am keeping the score through each play : is that normal?
Found this game to be a bit odd. The map did not reset for me which wasnt too great, and I would have liked Key Board controls to move the ball instead of the current ways. Other than that solid game. I featured this game in my LD27 compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvnhwc_j5Mo

Difficulty curve is steep.
Overall interesting and different!
Personally, I would have preferred mouse-look plus keyboard controls for movement, although that may be me being picky.
