Ludum Dare #37compo
The Cranks
Are you prepared for this over-the-top, mega-awesome, insanely graphicalized, particle-inducing, mind-exploding soundified game?
What do you do, you may ask? In fact, it's quite simple, you just place a few drones and let them shoot for you. THEY DON'T EVEN BLINK!
Well, I must admit, they don't have eyes. But the aliens don't either, and that's surely not an oversight (no pun intended)! I mean, they have hats. HATS.
And if you come from the magical world of Hat Simulator™ or Topper Simulator™, you know good things come to those who wear hats.
Now, do you really think hats are enough? Of course not. That's why we had to implement our state-of-the-art, supersonic, nano-robotic powered hoverboards! HOVERBOARDS! We have 1400 nano robots just sitting in there making the thing fly, which might not sound like a lot until you realize that these nano bots are the SIZE OF YOUR CAR! No idea how those buggers fit in there, but it works like a charm!
Oh, and don't forget the cranks will help crush you if the aliens (or brains (or apples (we don't know what they are either))) get to them!

Really cool and well-designed game. The pixels graphics look very nice and the concept is pretty unique. Good job!

Nice concept. Instead of hit points, failure to protect the base results in less time/space to protect the base. The graphics were pretty well done. Movement felt correct for a helicopter-tomato-thing. Sounds were good. Music good.
Good job.
Good job.

Good game! I'd recommend putting the controls on your LD page. Also I got the game into a state where I was no longer able to upgrade or buy anything regardless of how much money I had.

Well designed game, I was only able to get a highscore of 210 it gets very overwhelming very quickly, although i may just not be good at finding a nice balance. The graphics and sound effects are well placed and look great. Overall well done and keep up the great work

Very nice take on the theme, and very cool version of tower defense !
As i'm bad with these games i wasn't able to see very much more than the upgrade thing, but i loved it anyway =)

Pretty good! Controls felt pretty nice, graphics are very cute, music suited it all.
At first I couldn't figure out that the cranks were meant to be protected. (I really should read entries completely before playing. :D) But after my failure it became pretty clear.
Only negative thing I can think of (I'm scraping the barrel for constructive criticism here) is that each play through felt kind of the same. I couldn't apply upgrades to get radically different results.
Very strong entry, good job!

Nice game, the art is nice and I love the music and sfx! Also I thought it will be really easy, but in fact it was quite difficult after some time. Just one thing I would like to see is more enemies or drone time. Good job!
nice work.
