U.C.O.N. by fleegle2000
Nanogoo is spreading, and threatens to overrun the entire planet if we can't find a way to stop it. Build strange and wonderful weapons to counter it, but be careful! Not all of the parts will harm the Nanagoo, and some may even help it spread.
Note for Linux users - I've heard some reports that double-clicking doesn't work properly on Debian unless you run it in wine.
Instructions:
Double-click on a part on the left to add it to the highlighted slot at the bottom of the screen. Click on the map to launch it at part of the blob. Adding more parts makes it harder for the Nanogoo to adapt to your attacks, but shooting a single part at the blob will reveal its effectiveness rating (number at the bottom of the icon).
Controls:
Double-click to add parts
Click parts or slots in the workbench to select them.
Click on the cancel buttons below the slots to clear them.
Click on the map to launch a payload at the specified location.
Mousewheel, up/down arrows: scroll through the toolbar.
1,2,3: select corresponding workbench slot
P or spacebar: Pause game
R: Reset game
Q: exit game (must be done from pause menu or main menu)
F1: Help menu
F2: show grid overlay
F3: super secret debug/cheat mode (lets you kill the nanogoo with any weapon, no resistance). Intended for testing/evaluation purposes.

@uvwar: Yeah, if I'd had more time I would have made it a bit clearer what you're supposed to do and added more feedback. Some of the weapons have no effect. To figure out how effective a weapon is, you have to fire a single part at the blob to get its effectiveness rating. I apologize for not making that clearer.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for playing!
@MoogleSensei: stay tuned for the post-compo version - I haven't released it yet but I have already improved the feedback immensely, plus solved some other major bugs.
Thanks for playing!
