!Notice!
This game uses pixel shader model 2.0 and above. Playing on a machine that doesn't support it will not work correctly.

A storm is rising above the skies of a small redneck settlement. Control the tornado and wreck the townspeople. Destroying buildings grows the tornado, killing things and breaking objects earn points.

Controls:
A/D or Arrow keys - Movement

Programming - Matej Kresić

Those rays of light that get occluded by background objects look so good.

The game was pretty fun too.

As an art piece, this was beautiful. The graphics were top-shelf, and the audio was fitting if a bit sparse. Gameplay-wise, I wish there had been a bit more depth. I played this several times through just for the art though. Fancy!

Very good graphics. I actually think this could work as a one-button game, as once I moved in a direction there was little incentive to go backwards.

After finishing a game, I got this error:
Unable to find any instance for object index '4' name 'o_whirlwind'
at gml_Object_o_dude2_Collision_0

Thanks for the feedback. It has been patched.

@Thought Reactor
It failed to load shaders. If you're on a laptop with a dedicated gpu, try right clicking the exe -> Run with graphics processor -> choose the gpu that supports shaders. The game will now let the player know if shaders didn't get compiled.

Looks fantastic! Definitely a solid game. Maybe it could be more challenging if you got more points for getting people, but people can run away really fast.

GOTY material right here. My lifelong fantasy of being a tornado has been fulfilled.

So nice looking... Never had that much fun wrecking stuff. Time limit is harsh, though... maybe add time by fullfilling tasks, reaching enough points in time?

Beautiful art, those sun-rays... Mmmmm. Gameplay-wise, I'm looking for a little more depth with the movement of the tornado. I don't know how effectively I could fling things with my movements (i.e. Throwing a tractor into a dude), but I was hoping I could.

This was quite pretty, but the game play could have used something more. A very nice entry, though!

Very nicely done, the two buttons controls work very well and the graphics effects are so well polished!!

Launching sheep into space since 2015! Blowing stuff up is always good fun!
The clouds and lighting effects were spectacular, how did you get the clouds to change shape?

That was awesome! It was really well drawn and the game itself was awesome, I loved being a tornado killing everything!

Awesome game!
