Strikethrough by Ian Morrison

[raw]
made by Ian Morrison for LD31 (COMPO)
Survive as long as you can against a gauntlet of security droids. With no weapons at hand, your only way to destroy the machines is to kick them into a wall or one another! Dash around them to avoid shots and set up the perfect angle, then set them flying with a well placed kick. Chain them together for bonus points and go for a high score!

Controls:
WASD for movement and choosing dash/attack direction
Space to jump and dash in midair (you can do this multiple times)
Return to attack

Update - alternate controls:
Arrow keys for movement and X for attack are now options
Controller support works, tested on XBox360 controller. A to jump, B to attack, left control stick for directions.

Engine: Unity
Code: C#, Visual Studio
Art: Photoshop and 3DS MAX
Sound: Unity SFXR

Wow! Very fun game. I played a lot longer than any other game, so far. Really well done. Such good execution, considering the time frame.

Great animation and artwork! It took me a while to figure out the dashing mechanics, but it was pretty cool when I did. I'd suggest a different control scheme though, enter to attack was weird.

Loved it. Took a while to notice the health bar. I scored 885 :)

Insanely fun! A bit system taxing, but the physics and combat are solid. Very addictive gameplay. Awesome work!

Just for the animations alone, to make this in 48hrs is amazing! I loved playing with the broken pieces.

Very nicely animated character. This is the kind of game I would like to play with a gamepad. Good job!

420 final score! Difficult but fun to play. It would be nice if the player looks in the attack direction.

Really impressive game! Only input from me would be that it would have been nice to include the menu in the same area as the battling takes place, just to include the theme into it just that much more.

The controls were a bit awkward, but it was a pretty fun, if simple, game. The graphics were incredible, I can't believe you pulled all of that off in just two days.

Fantastic graphics and gameplay!

My only complaint is the controls. Why enter? Using X or something similar would have worked better, as it wouldn't be so foreign.
Maybe something entirely different? I don't know... It's just weird the way it is now.

Awesome! I love the character animations! I wish the jump and dash were different buttons, though. It would make it a lot easier to play.

880, really fun, though I had the impression to rely more on luck than skill ^^
Nice work :)

A little late for a lot of you, but I've added some alternate control options (check the description). Thanks for playing my entry!

This was really cool. Very interesting take on platformer genre. Felt kind of like a super saiyan. Decent take on the theme.

Inedible! Though the jumping is a little difficult to control, I like the kicking mechanism a lot!

Awesome game! It felt pretty sweet kicking those droids into each other and smashing them against the screen border. Great job!

Really nice game, some music on the background would've been the cherry on the cake.

This game is really great! Played through twice. The strategy gets pretty interesting! The animations and FX really sell it.
