You are a destructor of trash. Use expanding beam and explode together.

How to play

- Click or Tap anywhere to shot a beam. Ammo is reloaded by time.
- Gameover if trash touches a player.
- Game clear if all trash explode. The number of top of screen shows remaining.

Really fun! The different difficulties are well balanced and the combos are super satisfying.

Cool game !!!

Solid gameplay, and the chain system is very satisfying.

I agree with @gaoyuan-chen. The chain system feels good. Other than that, I think the game is fun, if a little shallow of mechanics.

I love these entries that uses the theme to combine one game mechanic that helps you reach the win screen, to another game mechanic that helps you reach the lose screen. All in one action. Your game does that the best out of many that I've played so far! Nice job!

this is a really fun game. the chain mechanic is very satisfying, well done!

I was going to complain about the slow ammo regeneration but it turned out to be more fun that way since I have to plan chain reactions. The game is amazingly fun as it currently is but the art and sound can use some polishing. Greatly done.

very enjoyable game, great graphics and sfx, a very satisfying chain reaction, i can only complain about the lack of music. Overall a very good game! Keep it up!

Nice entry, I like the chain combo system you got going on, with more polish this could turn into a great game!

This needs way more attention! This is incredibly well done. Setting up the chains are so much fun and the animations/audio is so satisfying. I can't believe this doesn't have 20 ratings yet. Lots of stars from me!

I really like the chain mechanic, and how it keeps track of separate chains. As others have said, the only thing really missing here is music -- I'd highly recommend musagi, which lets you set up simple repeating tracks very easily.

Thank you very much for feedbacks!

@pennycook
I just could not have enough time because I was stuck several times on the game engine. I didn't know musagi, it looks nice! thanks :)

Great game! The chain mechanic is incredibly satisfying. Graphics are fantastic as well. The trash falling upwards did feel a little bit strange.

Carlos Giraldo19 Aug 2018, 05:13

This a good feeling game. Great job on the chain mechanic and the visual and audio feedback for it. My only comments would be it was hard for me to know how long was the cooldown before my next shot since I didn't notice an ammo counter. Also, adding special trash that helps or hinders you in cool ways would be good ways to add more dynamics

I love the chain mechanic! The game really fits the theme nicely.

33218 on normal.

Started out thinking I would not like the game, but ended up playing for AGES. Excellent work!

ZuhairGhias20 Aug 2018, 13:58

That was really satisfying. Also like how objects get bigger as they get damaged. Really makes you think before you shoot. The last level was tough.

I managed to score an 11 chain in normal mode and it felt amazing. Then I switch to hell and didn't last so much on my third run.

Great entry! The concept is simple but works really well and fits the theme like a glove, and everything feels quite solid overall (bloating + exploding in particular was really well done). Nice job!
