In CRUD you play as a boy named Jeffrey. Jeffrey is the last human left on earth. All that Jeffrey was left with was his Dyson Vacuum cleaner. Use the vacuum cleaner to pick up rubble and fire it at the aliens who are trying to colonize earth with their kitchen appliances.

This was our first Ludum Dare challenge and hope you like it, thanks!

Very fun; I love the art style, and the story is hilarious. The shooting could use a bit more "oomph", but other than that this is solid.

Solid game, art style is pretty nice! The weapon is pretty unconventional too! Good job :)

The game mechanic sucks!!!1

I read the description and you got me hooked. The idea in itself is absolutely hilarious and I love the concept. The fact that you get refrigerators tossed at you is great. I wish you could suck up debris just a little quicker, but overall I love it.

I love how tiny the window for the game is. It was fun collecting all the garbage and throwing it back at the aliens.

Short and sweet!

Fun concept, interesting execution. A shame I couldn't suck and launch the fridges back at them, but then that may have made it a bit easy.

Love the art, useful tips as you go make are a nice touch.

Sick game, I enjoyed it. Great art and interesting execution. can use some work in the story development department, but other than that, nice flash game. 8/10

Fun game, but a little short for the Jam.

Not bad. Need to work on hit boxes.

This game is funny and has a good concept

Unexpectedly fun game! I wish there were more levels, or maybe you could make the road infinite with procedurally generated aliens!

Cool! Very satisfying mechanics. A little short though. I wish there was a greater variety of objects to suck up.

A little short, but a fun mechanic! Could've done with with more feedback though.

This is quite incredible for a first-time Ludum Dare entry. The animation was really smooth. I think the game was a little easy and simple, but it did feel fair. Particle effects or explosions may make the firing more satisfying, especially by providing said animation to the alien death sequence. Great job!
