This is a rather incomplete game, I'm saddened that I couldn't finish it however I was at least able to do everything from scratch and finish an entry for LUDUM DARE! I've been wanting to do this for 3 years or so so I am very happy I could do it.
I DID NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE GAME:
This is how to play:
-You have 3 minutes to destroy as much stuff as you can. In this case, cars because I didn't finish any of the other destructible items.
d: accelerate
a: slow down/reverse
w: PUNCH UP
space: Engage Magnet
when you get notified that you can upgrade, you either hit the p or m key to upgrade p = puncher m = magnet.
You are an angry person for some reason under the ground, and you have a tank that you use to terrorize the city above. The original goal of the game was to be able to upgrade your punch until you can escape from underneath the surface, but I couldn't finish it.
However, it has mildly fun gameplay, I look forward to everyone's feedback.

Other notes
-The source is really messy
-You cannot make and sell a game based on my source unless you get my permission [email protected]
-You cannot use my sprites/textures commercially without my permission [email protected]
-If you want to team up with me to finish and produce a commercial title out of this demo, I am certainly interested
The magnet had a lot of potential, but it wasn't very effective. It would have been nice to be able to throw cars into eachother or pull down helicopters, so I can see where you were going with it, but as it stands, it's better to just punch and watch things flip. That part is actually really fun, and the flip noises made me go back and play a second time just to see if I could more flips on a single car.
Very nice pixel art, it is satisfying to hit the cars with the puncher. The magnet seems quite pointless except for blowing yourself up by overheating it :P, I suppose that part is not finished yet.
Yep, helicopters was going to be the next thing I added right after adding a bunch of other stuff behind the cars, such as newspaper stands, etc. But sadly I spent so much time tweaking the physics that this is all I could get out. But thanks for playing :)
I'm glad you added a timer, because I could sit here literally all day just throwing cars into other ones and watching them explode. It was so much fun to punch a car and see it do flips in the air. Really well done. Nice car graphics too, would love to play a more developed version of this! :)
This was FUN... magneting the cars along and then punching when there is a group.. boom... flip Flip FLIP Suggestion: Move the magnet heat meter near the car where it can be seen while looking at the car, or give more obvious/exaggerated audio clues. Satisfying.
Graphics are crisps and controls are responsive. The game concept perfectly fits the compo theme, and is somewhat original. I liked the differential scrolling for the cavern background. Of course, being made in 48hr, there is little content.
Very impressed with this game. Very fun, nice physics, good graphics, nice sounds, very good upgrading system, and it fit the theme well. I wish scores were implemented, but the amazing gameplay experience made up for that. The WASD + Space hand posture got tiring after a few minutes, but that's not a big deal. I would love to see a arrow key adaptation. Considering your released your source, I may add it myself. Would it be okay if I released it with an arrow key add-on? Keep it up!
Great work! That was way more satisfying than I expected it to be. This is great, you should polish it up, add some more features and release it as a mobile game. I really wish you could smash the building down too... Rampage from underground!
this was great. The one thing I would have added under the time constraints would be allowing the cars to take damage when they collide with each other. That would give the magnet a ltitle more purpose. Overall, a super cool concept :D
This has a lot of potential, but there isn't a lot of gameplay here yet. I could see an expanded version of this being really fun though, reminds me of those Indestructable Tank games.

Great job on your first entry!
Suggestion: Move the magnet heat meter near the car where it can be seen while looking at the car, or give more obvious/exaggerated audio clues.
Satisfying.
Nicely implemented scrolling too.
