EDIT 2: Alright, it should be fixed now. Enjoy!

EDIT: It looks like the game isn't working at the moment. Please have patience until I fix this.

Destructoblast is an arcade-style game where you have to defeat enemies to score points (what a novel concept.) See how long you can last against the endless hordes of enemies!

Earlier I submitted a version of this that was incomplete and buggy as all hell. I only did that because I was so tired that I damn near fainted. This version should be all fixed and complete. Enjoy!

P.S: There is an easter egg in here. See if you can find it!

Lol you can break the arena and use holes as traps. Need some sounds though

On windows 7 it opens, shows a white screen, and then closes.

Downloaded, but couldn't run... :( It seems like it's writing a file for a brief moment but then crashes suddenly.

The graphics are really impressive. Too bad there is no music, it ruin everything.

Really like that the only floor is destroyed as you fight but would have preferred if falling killed you. As it is now so many health power ups are dropped I feel like I could last forever since nothing hurts too much. Good weapon variety, that plasma hose thing had a wicked effect.

Good job! Really enjoyed it. Sounds would have made it more awesome. :)

Score: 24200

Really awesome game, the lack of audio is unfortunate, but the rest of the game makes up for it. Very fun also. Good job :)

Good game and idea! The controls are little unintuitive. I usually shot downwards, which is unusual. The holes could be better visible :-D

Pretty great game with really good graphics. Only thing that could use improvements would be the camera, as it is always forced to look ahead of you, although it would be way more useful if you could lock it behind you (because most likely you will run away and shoot behind you)

Really nice, but the tutorial's a bit long.

This is a good fun game, but no audio is a downside.

Nice! I really dig games where you can hold to fire and get upgrades changing the weapon, just a shame it doesn't have any music :c

The camera was probably the worst thing about this game. Maybe instead of having the camera look at the edges, it would have been better if the camera was pointed toward the center of the arena instead, if that makes any sense.

On another note, I'm running windows 8.1 and I could run it just fine.

I found the Easter egg. My new mission is to defeat all of them.

86,000 points is when I realized that there is no cap on grenade firing speed. So I basically destroyed the arena in only 15 seconds. With more time playing this game, I've realized that once you are fully upgraded, it isn't much of a challenge. I think that the "Easter egg level" is actually very challenging. I think spawn rate should increase more over time, because it is possible to stay alive basically forever.

SERIOUSLY?! (Oh my, I laughed really hard on that one)
Awesome game =)
The grenades seem to be bugged a bit - the arena is only damaged by them, if they fall through a hole... but if they land on solid ground, they don't damage the arena.. at least not visibly. (Win7 x64)

Great graphics. You got a lot out of simple shapes!

Very fun, love the graphics. Camera is a bit frustrating (would strongly prefer static or at least one that only rotates on command) and I'm not sure the destruction of the arena adds anything to the gameplay other than annoyance since it's only a minor inconvenience. But overall great!

Wow, really liked that one. Destructible floor was a surprise for me!

Nice game, but as others have said the camera is annoying... I started having a headache after a few minutes of playing.

Pretty fun! It gets really easy once you get a few power-ups, though.
ViliX23 Dec 2013, 18:37
I was able to run it on Win 8.1, but shame for no audio :(

Very impressive graphics, although support for other platforms would be nice. Great job.
