Underload by Taldius

[raw]
made by Taldius for LD32 (JAM)
You didn't ask what the diversion was for, you didn't ask for a good teamate and ammo too... But the fate of the world depends on you (well... you think)
Survive as long as you can, fight for your life, and don't forget to get the pieces of your truck back after tossing them.

Your tank shoots really bad without his canon... and you cannot drive without wheels...

The game is hilarious, and that alone means it deserves a good rating. The vehicular damage is a cool touch, and the allure of a high score gives it potentially great replay value.

Really well done, and quite challenging. I like the graphics, and the damage your vehicle takes is neat, though it took a while to figure out. I enjoyed it

I didn't really understand the game at first but the idea of firing your wheel at them is interesting. The random messages were kinda funny. Good job overall.

Really enjoyable game, not much in the way of constructive criticism other than the fact I got stuck on the floor occasionally (even with all wheels etc)

You can fire your wheels, reactor, canon, and what you collect. You also can jump with some object collected under the Aliens, it will throw them too.

Kept getting stuck and unable to move -- better to stick with kinematic bodies for character control; dynamic bodies are too futsy/error-prone.

Very funny and unconventional.

Interesting concept. Seems like you shoot parts of your vehicle too often but other than that I think it is an excellent jam entry! One of the better ones I have played. :)

Haha this is great! I like how my "cannon" and wheels got shot down and I have to go back and pick them up.

After playing a round of the game, I understood the title immediately XD.

Unable to get the WebGL version to work, jumping did not work at all, my tank just keeled over and then I died. I could aim though. Unity web player worked a lot better though, and the game was really fun! Loved that you had to pick up your gun, wheels etc when you were hit. Liked the humor. 3D graphics were simple but effective, 2D was great. That said, weapon was not too unconventional.

Hilarious, I laughed. And then I got stuck with no wheels and I cried. Very good.

Pretty funny take on the theme. Neat graphics too. Took me a few goes to understand what was going on but after that, was fun stuff.

When I understood the game, I could not stop laughing, hilarius.
Very nice concept, the graphics are very cool too. Good job.

Lol, that was great! :D
I loved the concept of losing bits of yourself when you got hit and being able to basically chuck all of yourself at the aliens.

Like the idea of an ammo limit driven by the parts of your car. Did a good job for the jam, would explore more scenarios where you could utilize this mechanic for a full game.

Funny game, awesome idea. Shooting the cannon with your cannon... yeah!

Funny little game, though so hard!
You should made it a little easier at least fo the beginning.

An interesting on a 2D shooter formula. While the controls are solid, the resource management is not. Frequently had a hard time understanding why certain parts will be shot, vs cargo in the truck itself. Knowing the mechanic behind that may have helped the experience significantly.

Very nice game and great humor. :D

Excellent characters and fun gameplay. The badass title screen always makes me wanna play again.
Plus I'll never get enough of those voices.

French accent ? ;)

Once you throw the canon, the game is basically lost though. And to me it needs greater reach.

Awesome man!

The game kinda bugged for me in second try. I could move but couldn't shoot. There was no crosshair on the screen. I clicked inside the viewport multiple times.

The gun that fires anything is great, and I like the idea of losing parts from your vehicle when you get shot - but in practice it means that basically once you get hit it's super hard to come back from! But overall, really fun :)

An hilarious game! Too bad I often shoot wheels and the gun instead of the cargo. But joy nontheless.

Fun game, liked going around grabbing the boxes and then trying to play the game without losing all the boxes.

Cool game. I like that it's challenging, and makes you try it again and again. The voice acting isn't the best. :)
