You are a troubleshooter brought in to deactivate a rogue military R&D computer running a marketing program - causing it to create killer clones!

Breech the facility, activate the doors at the sparking console and find the drill parts needed to open the console and turn off the computer...

...but beware the clone! You have only one enemy, but every time it returns it will be smarter and more deadly...!

CONTROLS

Cursor keys to move, left ctrl to shoot! Pick up drill pieces by walking over 'em.

Designer notes! (Spoilersersis)

So, done in time and as opposed to Approaching Ten http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/comment-page-1/?action=preview&uid=27066 I was fairly happy and motivated the whole time.

No sound, but I think I did fairly well on the other factors, tbh.

I do tend to go for overly ambitious Jam designs, which I must must must curb in future. That said, some fun code here - I think my learning, stalking monstrosity has further potential.

Enjoy!
