Throw Junk at Aliens by jwin
Aliens have invaded, but you don't have any weapons! Grab whatever you can and fling it at the invaders until there are no more left!
Controls:
- WASD to move around, mouse to aim.
- Left click to pick up nearby things. You must face objects to pick them up. (They turn blue when you can pick them up).
- Left click again to throw. Hold down left click to charge up and throw farther.
- Right click to rotate camera (Post-Compo only).
Tips:
- You can pick up nearly everything, so give it a try!
- Some very heavy objects do more damage than lighter ones.
- You can also get hit by flying objects, so watch out.
- You move faster when you aren't holding anything, which is useful for dodging lasers.
Post-Compo Version:
This update adds a bunch of things I wanted to do originally as well as addressing some of the feedback I've gotten. If you've already played the compo version, check out all the improvements!

Wasn't sure you were going to let me pick up the cars but was pleased you did
Thanks "throw junk at aliens"!
Everything i need is a house. House is op.
Other than that it is awesome.
PS: We had the same idea. Mine is just 2D and about zombies....
Had a mental breakdown.
Would recommend.
The first thing I tried to do was lift the house and when worked I won my night!
I found myself soon figuring out ways to climb buildings by lining things up. Alien > car> house> store. I was close to grab the saucer from the sky.
Very nice idea. The game is hard and you very easily get into situation where you don't have any chances. May be some healing objects or more hit points could help player to survive.
Anyway, this game is fun to play and fits theme perfectly. Well done.
There are only a few things I think would improve the experience:
1. Holding down the mouse button to throw could have been displayed a bit more obviously.
2. The need to point your mouse at the thing you're picking up seems unnecessary, it feels like if you're by the object, or walking into it with directional controls, it should be clear enough that you want to pick it up.
3. Being able to see some kind of trajectory to your throw would have been nice. Especially when the enemy is behind the fence.
4. A bit more intelligence/variety to the enemies would have been great. The single-minded Crimsonland zombies get old fast.
Fantastic! :D
The game is really fun, the only downside is the lack of music.
