Story

An AT-ST head crash landed in yer backyard and, you know what? That'll look good on my tank tracks. Wait - what?! I can't do that?! Try and stop me!

The tank you made is too overpowered! The soldiers can't stop you. They'll keep sending in guys to stop your fun until you run out of space. Use the space vaporizer to give your self more space! Try and rack up the highest score and post it in the comments!

Side Note

This was my first Compo and second LD challenge. I learned a lot - most importantly was probably time management. Because of that, I had to sprint the sprites and could not do audio; especially with life getting in the way. The sprites are images I pixelated from various images and concoctions - I was unaware I could not do that until the very end and because of that, I will opt out of graphics for voting.

Please post constructive criticism in the comments! What would you do to make the game better? I'm always excited to learn

Hah! Wasn't expecting the wave at about the 1,000 mark, nice surprise! Got a kick out of propping up the tank with the gun as well. Of course, room to expand, but playable and fun. fire from your gun appears to move at the same speed you do, so makes it a little difficult to move in one direction and have cover fire going the same. Well done overall!

Well that escalated quickly lol. I didn't use the gun for shooting, but instead for collecting hearts. It gets so difficult so quick that the bullets don't seem to have any impact and doom is inevitable. I liked how you added in the gun rotating when you moved and that you could pogo stick around the level lol

I had a lot of trouble firing the gun. Sometimes it responded, sometimes it didn't. I did enjoy crushing the tiny humans in my tank, which seemed much more effective than trying to shoot anyone anyway. I think a lower rate of fire but an explosion radius would make it work better for the game.
Side note, make sure you like good feedback on your game (press the heart on the comment). It helps people get their games seen better!

Kinda neat - I ended up floating around the level on my tank's cannon! I survived a while then a huge influx of people came in and I died... I made it to somewhere past 3k points. Thanks for a fun game.

It requires a satisfying squish noise when running over the enemies!

I wish it had audio to it! But overall the controls were nice and I love toy soldiers so you got me there. Nice job.

Oh hey cool entry Rayaarito. I enjoyed the game controls and mouse aiming is always nice to have. I found that simple sound effect for feedback would make a big difference even simple ones. Coolest feature of the game was that I'm able to stand on my own weapon like a leg haha. Adding simple physics to fling myself around with the gun would have made it even more fun. ;) Nice first compo entry, well done.

Nice entry!

Because you asked: To improve the game, it would be good to give the shooting more impact, maybe an explosion or make the bullets faster (as a matter of fact, you are ase fast as the bullets) => Like it is, it´s more easy to run just over the enemys than shooting at them.

I liked the mechanic that you´re Hitpoints increase with killing people.

I enjoyed this, I stayed in one corner for a while thinking i couldn't be killed... and then they came! Became mad hectic and i like how it was actually hard to move near the end. I like the scrapbook style artwork too. Good job. ![aGoodWayToDie.png](///raw/034/a1/z/1a83b.png)

Nice job! Was a lot of fun to slide around on the barrel of our cannon. Thanks for sharing your game with my stream awhile back. Your game was played around 0:06 into this vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/299401837
