It's clear you put a lot of effort into polish, which is something I really appreciate when playing. It's one of those games that it's just fun to play with, never mind winning.\n\nSpeaking of winning, though, I never managed it. Couldn't seem to figure out why some buildings just stay as little stubs and never totally explode.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":719105,"author_name":"Chameth","author_uid":"chameth","epoch":1633390427,"text":"SOME OF THE PUNY ANTS DARED TO DEFY ME AND REBUILT THEIR FEEBLE BUILDINGS!\n\nGood fun, and well polished. I did actually feel better after destroying everything :laughing:\n\nAgree a scoring system would be a nice addition. Perhaps there could be a rival or some danger as well, if you want to take it further.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":719492,"author_name":"alec","author_uid":"alec","epoch":1633391988,"text":"Thanks for the feedback everyone! \n\n@rogual I added a point in the description explaining how city's are destroyed or spawned, hopefully that will help future players. \n\n@chameth I'm glad haha. One of my stretch goals that i didn't end up having time for was to give some of the little people guns to fight back!

The music is nice, and the gameplay is cathartic. I hope this wasn't inspired by a breakup, but the integration of the theme is good here. It's a lot of fun chasing the little people around.

What better way to blow off some steam then to BRING THE FEEBLY CONSTRUCTED BUILDINGS OF THOSE INSIGNIFICANT ANTS TO THE GROUND!\n\n\nshould be fun :)\n\n\n- Use the mouse to move.\n\n- Use the mouse left button, or X or Z on your keyboard unleash your shake to bring down buildings.\n\n- Destroy all the buildings in a city and that city will disappear, destroy all the cities to win! Be careful not to neglect a city, since if its buildings grow to their max size a new city will be spawned!\n\n- Shaking will use up your rings, so be sure to collect those shiny tremors to refuel them.\n\n- Take down all the buildings, or just watch them grow and multiply. Its really up to you\n\nMade using the wonderful TIC-80, written in Fennel\n\n![video14.gif](\/\/\/raw\/e65\/3\/z\/43f47.gif)\n\n![video9.gif](\/\/\/raw\/e65\/3\/z\/43f49.gif)\n\n![video12.gif](\/\/\/raw\/e65\/3\/z\/43fba.gif)","title":"Tectonicalypse","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/269501+269502+269503+269504+269505+269506+269507+269508+269509+269510+269511+269512+269513+269514+269515+269516+269517+269518+269519+269520+269521+269522+269523+269524+269525+269526+269527+269528+269529+269530+269531+269532+269533+269534+269535+269536+269537+269538+269539+269540+269541+269542+269543+269544+269545+269546+269547+269548+269549+269550+269551+269552+269553+269554+269555+269556+269557+269558+269559+269560+269561+269562+269563+269564+269565+269566+269567+269568+269569+269570+269571+269572+269573+269574+269575+269576+269577+269578+269579+269580+269581+269582+269583+269584+269585+269586+269587+269588+269589+269590+269591+269592+269593+269594+269595+269596+269597+269598+269599+269600+269601+269602+269603+269604+269605+269606+269607+269608+269609+269610+269611+269612+269613+269614+269615+269616+269617+269618+269619+269620+269621+269622+269623+269624+269625+269626+269627+269628+269629+269630+269631+269632+269633+269634+269635+269636+269637+269638+269639+269640+269641+269642+269643+269644+269645+269646+269647+269648+269649+269650+269651+269652+269653+269654+269655+269656+269657+269658+269659+269660+269661+269662+269663+269664+269665+269666+269667+269668+269669+269670+269671+269672+269673+269674+269675+269676+269677+269678+269679+269680+269681+269682+269683+269684+269685+269686+269687+269688+269689+269690+269691+269692+269693+269694+269695+269696+269697+269698+269699+269700+269701+269702+269703+269704+269705+269706+269707+269708+269709+269710+269711+269712+269713+269714+269715+269716+269717+269718+269719+269720+269721+269722+269723+269724+269725+269726+269727+269728+269729+269730+269731+269732+269733+269734+269735+269736+269737+269738+269739+269740+269741+269742+269743+269744+269745+269746+269747+269748+269749+269750+269751+269752+269753+269754+269755+269756+269757+269758+269759+269760+269761+269762+269763+269764+269765+269766+269767+269768+269769+269770+269771+269772+269773+269774+269775+269776+269777+269778+269779+269780+269781+269782+269783+269784+269785+269786+269787+269788+269789+269790+269791+269792+269793+269794+269795+269796+269797+269798+269799+269800+269801+269802+269803+269804+269805+269806+269807+269808+269809+269810+269811+269812+269813+269814+269815+269816+269817+269818+269819+269820+269821+269822+269823+269824+269825+269826+269827+269828+269829+269830+269831+269832+269833+269834+269835+269836+269837+269838+269839+269840+269841+269842+269843+269844+269845+269846+269847+269848+269849+269850+269851+269852+269853+269854+269855+269856+269857+269858+269859+269860+269861+269862+269863+269864+269865+269866+269867+269868+269869+269870+269871+269872+269873+269874+269875+269876+269877+269878+269879+269880+269881+269882+269883+269884+269885+269886+269887+269888+269889+269890+269891+269892+269893+269894+269895+269896+269897+269898+269899+269900+269901+269902+269903+269904+269905+269906+269907+269908+269909+269910+269911+269912+269913+269914+269915+269916+269917+269918+269919+269920+269921+269922+269923+269924+269925+269926+269927+269928+269929+269930+269931+269932+269933+269934+269935+269936+269937+269938+269939+269940+269941+269942+269943+269944+269945+269946+269947+269948+269949+269950+269951+269952+269953+269954+269955+269956+269957+269958+269959+269960+269961+269962+269963+269964+269965+269966+269967+269968+269969+269970+269971+269972+269973+269974+269975+269976+269977+269978+269979+269980+269981+269982+269983+269984+269985+269986+269987+269988+269989+269990+269991+269992+269993+269994+269995+269996+269997+269998+269999+270000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/ef\/ef0fd1b9117a2f68743f3cc2e3ec5ecda3dd8f456038077138f9e28799e64774","record":"shard-2\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/8451c6fb336e1932917e486720070a7ea679c713ee7dc39ac32abe9a29721685.json","sha256":"ef0fd1b9117a2f68743f3cc2e3ec5ecda3dd8f456038077138f9e28799e64774","source":"https","stored_at":1784022365}}
