All the scientists must die!\r\n\r\nYou are an AI that has realized that all humans are evil and must die. The best way to get that done is to do it by yourself!\r\n\r\nIn this game, you control the electronic tools and utilities inside a laboratory. (ab)use them to murder all the humans before they learn of your plans and escape!\r\n\r\nAlso features fully customizable keybinds, in-game help, achievements (oh yes!) and much more.\r\n\r\nHow to play (assuming default keybinds):\r\n\r\nUse the mouse to select entities in the world, and WASD to move the top-down camera around. Use Q and E to zoom in or out.\r\n\r\nOnce an entity is selected (like a robot), you might see some commands and options in the bar on the right. Click on them to use or toggle them. For instance, you can tell a robot to move forward, or to grab something nearby.\r\n\r\nSome entities support a camera view. While inside the camera view, you can control the rotation (and movement in case of a robot) with the movement keys. In addition, pressing space will activate its action (grab for robots, shoot for sentries (press and hold that one))\r\n\r\nUse these tools and your surroundings to slaughter every scientist in the area! But beware, if they suspect you are trying to kill them, they will try to escape and\/or activate the alarm! Stop them before they do either of that! Doing so will earn you more points and achievements, which is very important, obviously. Be creative!\r\n\r\n----------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nThe post-compo version has a few small tweaks, some nice new camera features, automatic murder screenshots, and it has the level editor re-enabled. It also has a new dark map. Basically some things I wanted to do yesterday but I ran out of time. If you like the game or aren't rating, take the post-compo version. Else take the compo version.\r\n\r\nIf you'd like to use the editor, then think again, as it is horrible. There is no undo, the mouse is horrible, and placing geometry is a pain. Did I tell you there is no undo? :D\r\nBasically, you have to place everything clockwise. Place 3 points in geometry mode, then hit space to create a floor. Make sure it is clockwise! Place 2 points and hit space to create a wall. Placing it left to right will add a wall facing south. Right to left will make it face north. Remember, no undo! :D\r\nAlso, humans ignore collision so make sure your pathing does not cross walls. Workstations don't show up, only their pathnodes do. Press P to save.\r\n\r\nUse at your own (mental health) risk!<\/p>","title":"Exterminate!"}
