THUMP your way to VICTORY by EUTHANIZING pathetic, stupid DRONES.

Bump and thump the drones into the killzones to stop them from escaping your maze. Do not rest until you achieve a great proportion of murder to freedom.

Controls: WASD or ARROWS.
Minimum Resolution: 1280x720.

This game requires (on OS/X and Linux) that you have Love2D installed - download it here: love2d.org

Known Bugs:
* The rams sometimes jam. Not sure what's going on with that!

Not-bugs:
* Drones will fly into the killzones without dying - they can only die after being thumped

Planned improvements:
* Make the killzones less visible when they are "inactive"
* AI Difficulty slider for motion planning
* Separate charge meters for each ram

Problems in development:
* I spent way too long making the rams "meaty".
* Love2D's implementation of Box2D is haaaard.
* Also spent way too long playing Mario Kart 8 with my fellow Darers.
* Probably spent a little too much time selecting fonts.

Interesting stuff about development:
* The rams were the first thing I made.
* The actual game was the last.
* It was my first time playing with vector graphics for visuals; I think it went well!

I'd love to hear what you think about my game and where I can take it further!
