You came all the way from your homeworld to earth in order to kill the president of earth. But as you command your crew to bomb the head quarters, they tell you that they forgot to resupply the bombs.
So you get only one.
Luckily, there is a lot of explosive stuff in the area, so maybe ne bomb is really all you need, if you can start a chain reaction.
Note: If you don't get sound on Linux, check your OpenAL configuration (/etc/openal on Debian).
There is a post-compo version available now, which fixes the two most pressing problems.
Please don't hesitate to report any additional problems you find.
This is the best game I've seen so far, You did an amazing job. The game concept is very funny, and I loled on the dialogues between the commander and player. Congrats.
Nice and well balanced! I played through a few levels, some of which seemed impossible at first but managed them after a few tries. It'd be nice to be able to skip the dialogue without having to open the menu though.
Thanks for the feedback, guys, and then quite positive feedback :-)
@Norgg: there are actually a few levels that actually are impossible to solve (like a very flat terrain with only missiles which you can't reach with your bomb). And yeah, I figured that one with the "debriefing" out by now. Will change it in the next version and release it in three weeks.
hey rnlf, afaik, to run the linux build you can use "file /path/to/the/file.x86" but that build was generated by unity, and I don't have a linux installed to test it
You can try my game through the web link, though. I hope you like.
Although the terrain is simply seeded by random values, in most cases it makes a fun level to play! Loved the rockets flying up and just spinning in the air. Great performance speed too, the particles emitted nicely. My only suggestion is to make the dialogs skippable. We get the idea after the 1st / 2nd turn, after that though it seems to drag the game.
Fun game! I liked how the dialogs were capitalized, as if the aliens were shouting to eachother :P. Most levels were solvable, only some just seemed impossible. Had a good time.
Ha! Nice game, I liked it! I REALLY liked bouncing the ship against the edge of the screen.
"Sir, what about the president?" *BounceBounceBounce* Wheee! "Sir?"
Some thoughts: - If you win a stage and try a new one, your score should carry over - so you can see how big of a streak you can make - If you made multiple random chats for the end of the level, this game's re-playability would go waaay up.
Thanks for the fun game!

This is a brilliant game, I swear I spent half an hour just trying random seeds to kill the president :L Random-ness like this is great for a game like this (even if there are uncompleteable levels)
Rothens: yeah, that's what I wanted in the beginning, but somehow I figured this version was more fun. One distant future release will probably be customizable.
caranha: Thanks for your input, I will definitely add those two things in the next release. Glad you liked the bouncing, that was one of the last things I added just for fun :D
Thanks to everyone who commented, it's a great feeling to get so much positive feedback on your first submission!
Awesome game! This is so cool! Nice sounds, good graphics, funny story! Very humorous! The best LD game I have played this go round so far! Keep it up! I found that if you type the seed as 42, then directly fire, it wins. Hahaha.
One of the best entries I've seen. Great dialog, cool idea, and fun gameplay. A greater variety of explosives in the levels could push this to the next level.
Funny idea and good execution. The gameplay is very satisfying, even though you're just watching 90% of the time. You should possibly have considered using some kind of grass texture instead of that aggressive light green though.. :)
Really great work! This was really compelling and I spent a lot longer (re)playing this than most other games I've reviewed so far! I can be a bit long winded getting from one level to the next, so after I'd seen the dialogue a couple of times I was just hitting escape to skip it and restarting from the menu - it'd be nice if you sped up that process a bit, oh and also allowed your score to roll over into the next level. Overall though great job!!
Really fun game! Some levels were easy, but others really needed precision. Fun dialogue between the commander and the ship as well. And the animations for the different explosives are awesome.
Nope, there's no end, just randomly generated levels. I might think of some kind of arcade mode with high score for the post-compo version I'm working on.
Love what you did with the theme. And I really like how the rockets behave and how you can influence their movement. I really had fun playing this game. Kudos to you!

Best game I have played so far! Very addictive! Loled at dialogues xD
Wow, I really like this concept! The game is pretty difficult in some cases, but I like challenge. The music is nice, more variation in the dirt texture would have been great, but the destructible terrain is awesome. I had a lot of fun playing this! :D
Awesome game! The idea is great and well executed. The game is fun to play and I like the particle efects! It's quite hard to win, since it feels like it would be a matter of luck, once you dropped the bomb, but thats ok. Great work, keep it on :)
Congrats.
