My first entry to a Ludum Dare Comp! I only use the windows console for my programs as I can't draw!

Objective: Survive!
Use Arrow keys to move player around map. Use Space Bar to deploy bombs to resist the ever encroaching automata! You will need to pick up more bombs as you use them up. Don't blow yourself up! Don't get trapped by the automata!

I use an engine I developed called olcConsoleGameEngine, which you can see loads of applications on YouTube, which I find is great for quick prototypes of ideas. I coded the game live on Twitch where you can see the VOD.

There is no install just download and run on windows, for linux, modify the .cpp file as instructed to include the correct header, it will need to link with SDL2.

Update R1) Made Player More visible, fixed end-game lockup glitch, Thanks guys that tested it!

Tools: SDL

slime + good slime spread algo (+ crysis 3 graphics) = cool game

Advice: add 2-3 screenshots in game description: pics with text perceived much better than just only text :)
