Sweep The World by Shrub

[raw]
made by Shrub for LD34 (JAM)
A "TRASHY" game. Clean the world of filth or die trying.

Info:
you have to be in range of the trash to kill it; the trash damages you; pick up brooms from around the map and equip them to increase efficiency; the idea is to click fast enough to kill the trash without taking much damage.

the game incorporates 2 controls - left click and right click. Left click to destroy trash & equip new brooms and right click to move

First Jam ever for us. Interested to see how you think our game stacks up compared to the others. We aimed too high at first and had to give our game a complete make over to achieve the deadline.

I can't really understand what's happening. I clean trash and then I die? Depressing game (-8

Try not to publish using an installer next time.

Extremely simple but interesting game. Sadly there was no life indicitator so it was hard to determine what actually hurt, and while clicking did seem to do something, feedback was minimal. Art was ok. I'm not really sure how you worked one of the themes into this.

Nice work for a first try then. The only thing is that you may want to be clearer on objectives and controls, because I had a hard time understanding what I was meant to do exactly

It's crashing for me =( Probably win10 is the reason.

Game doesn't work for me either. Just had a brown screen, with one triangle. (using Windows 7)

I guess this doesn't work on low-end hardware (my work PC).
All I get is a red window, with some barely visible controls to play, music, and one to (probably) start a game, after clicking on I get:

It was hard to understand what was going on at first. Especially since it start on the music player screen (?) which is also all jumbled up for some reason. I'm also pretty sure some of the music I heard is copyrighted.
It's an interesting concept, but it could really use a bit more work :)

I don't quite understand what's going on. My brooms seemed to spawn within the trash, and I wasn't able to clean any of the trash... Like, at all.

Still, was a good attempt at a first game with only two buttons. Better luck next time, is all I can say.

You don't require a broom to clean the trash, you have to move into range of the trash to clean it
