Monster Truck vs Aliens by SuperChihuahua

[raw]
made by SuperChihuahua for LD33 (COMPO)
An alien invasion has trapped civilians inside their houses. Your mission is to rescue as many of them as you can with the help of a Saab 900 Monster Truck. You can fit 6 civilians in the truck before you have to go back to the base. You can kill the green aliens with the roller and you have to use missiles to kill the flying saucers.

Nice interpretation of the theme :P You could have added some tree collisions. Otherwise, I loved the art, concept and gameplay. Well Done!

It took me a while to realise how this fit into the theme, was very happy when I found out how though. I really enjoyed this, it looked good and played well.

Interesting idea, & bonkers looking vehicle :p Reminds me a bit of Desert Strike. Vehicle Controls were VERY slipperly for me though, made it pretty tough to steer accurately.

I like behavior of the truck which seems heavy. It was a little troublesome that a house returns. But nice game!

Nice interpretation of the theme, the truck's physics is bit odd (it slides a lot, it bounces off wall like mad but couldn't care less of boulders, and the steering is bit difficult to handle). The terrain is bit empty and should do with a bit of more spicy (i.e. explosions, sfxs, collision with boulders)

At first, I was like "But I am rescuing them, I'm not a monster though..." :) I rescued couple of civilians and then got stuck between a save-house and the wall. Ah yea, I could respawn... Ok, so next time :) Thanks for some fun!

It would be nice if the truck was a little quicker. Nice art though :)

Funny take on the theme! Nice modelling on the truck concideringthe time limit, the truck felt a little slow and unresponsive to me.

Great game! Loved the unique take on this theme. Also the driving physics felt really tight! :)

Weird physics. Sometime simple touching make your truck fly. Like for unique theme interpretation.

Had bit of a problem to make the car ride up a mountain, but once I got momentum, the game picked up pace :)

I enjoyed "press S to start". :-) It get a bit repetitive after you figured out how to rescue your first 6 civilians to the base.

@mantis: There are no mountains :P

@leffe108: You have to be specific or people will rate it bad because they can't find the any key :S

@all: thank you! The other games I made for LD got less good reviews so this means I'm improving my games :)
