My first time participating in Ludum Dare. Had my up's and down's, but ultimately made it in the end, and learned a ton as well!

He's so misunderstood. He wants to live in peace and harmony but for that blasted cold!

I have a lot of fun with this game. The carnage felt visceral, helicopters intimidating, and the damage satisfying. My only really gripe is that the screenshake was so intense I couldn't hardly tell what was going on. Great entry.

I think the robot was probably angry at how the people built and parked their cars wherever they like.

Managed to gain 11285 chaos points (SUCCESS), game was fun I just wish the robot could crush the cars and buildings like it does when it walks over the terrified citizens running for their lives.

This game looked awesome from the screenshots and luckily it was awesome!

Though the screenshake got a little bit too crazy where I felt like the screen almost turned upside down. And the sound effects were a bit too high pitched for my liking, a bit more bass would've been nicer to listen to I think :)

Great entry!

Incredibly cathartic carnagefest, very enjoyable. Simple, yet effective in terms of sounds and spritework, liberal use of screenshake makes this game.

Chaos!

Gameplay is fun thanks to responsive controls and fitting graphics / eye candy. The screenshot is too much. Like by far. Screen nearly flipped shooting helicopters.

This game is in my opinion well crafted with a well executed mechanical design. But damn, the mood is bleak and not to my liking (I wouldn't ask you to change it since it is your vision). good job!.
