House and Destroy by MZA

title.png What's the one thing that Planet Earth has abundance off? If you said water you would be right but this Planet does not like the huge numbers of humans stomping around it.

Prepare yourself to satisfy Planet Earth in the most ineffective way imagineable.

Cool entry! I managed to get quite far ( around 75 I think ? ) I was stuck at a low health though, couldn't take down more trees. I wished there were more ways to get health back!
Loved the funny tone of the game aswell. Overall great entry :D

That was a really fun and really funny game! I'm surprised you found the time to make a whole tutorial in 48 hours! The running commentary really brought this game above the rest for me (the amount of planetary puns in this game was *astronomical!*)

By the way, I recall playing your entry at the last Ludum Dare. You seem to really like the whole "walking around a tiny planet" motif, don't you?

@niterich I started really late and the ideas I had were far beyond my scope with in 48hrs. I stuck with what I know best and tried to incorporate the theme. That's why it looks all too familiar lol.

Glad you remembered by previous games. Thanks for the comments.

the tree animation is very cool, the camera effects create a very fun vibe, narration is also great. ... "why are there so many humans ? Is mating season every season?" LMAO great work!

Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/8gcHVPkzZQo

It was definitely a Blast (you see what I did there don't you?)) to kill so many humans! But overall neverending gameplay is not my thing. But the voice acting was great!

This game is funny, I like the concept and would like to see more about it, may be more types of buildings or include the possibility to upgrade the ones you place. A max population limit indicator definitely needs to be placed, so the player has a chance to know whether they need to place a building or can store more resources for the next Building purchase. Good job overall!

@arnau yep the max indicator is something I definitely overlooked. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome game! The graphics are cute and Earth's comments are funny :D
He/She/It/They does seem to repeat herself often, but it's not that big of a deal :)

The lines of dialogue were funny but I think there should be more expression in the voice lol. other than that, I like the concept and the gameplay! Great entry!

Haha, I love your artstyle! It's like well made and crappy at the same time :D Compliments the tone and humor very well!
A very funny game, I liked it :)

I think, the voiceover could use some more inflection, it sounds a bit monotonous. It's hilarious, though. And being there in the first place is a big plus! Nice one.

@purrseus thanks for your comments. I agree with the Voice. Next time I'll work on putting more ooomf! Init.

@pcmaster @myfriendtames @merpader thanks for your supportive comments.

The polishing is very well done! Well, if we admit that the voiceover is parody of course :D
And for once, an entry that has a "political" message that gives the game a real goal. Hats off!
