You have a big Medical Hammer\u2122. Injured Marines are dropped from the frickin&#8217;\u00a0ceiling (?!) onto the bio-bed. \u00a0If they&#8217;r<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">e clean, they&#8217;re beamed back onto the battlefield.\u00a0<\/span>If they&#8217;re infected, you SMASH THEM with your ridiculous\u00a0hammer before they jump out and kill you.<\/p>\n <div class=\"text_exposed_show\" style=\"color: #141823\">\n <p>And that&#8217;s about it. It&#8217;s just a goofy arcade game. \u00a0It&#8217;s also quite INCOMPLETE. There&#8217;s plenty of BUGS (including one where you <em>don&#8217;t properly die<\/em> when you&#8217;re supposed to and no more marines are beamed in&#8230;and you just idle there, wondering what&#8217;s going on). \u00a0 But I got most of what I&#8217;d hoped to accomplish in there. I&#8217;ll throw down some polish on it soon. \u00a0Third-party credit list on the way.<\/p>\n <p>For your vomitous displeasure:\u00a0<a style=\"color: #3b5998\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bytestemplar.com\/misc\/ld48\/29\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.bytestemplar.com\/misc\/ld48\/29\/<\/a>\u00a0(<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-29\/?action=preview&amp;uid=2847\" target=\"_blank\">LD Entry Page<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/temp2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-355698\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/temp2-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"temp2\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/temp2-300x186.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/temp2-550x342.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/temp3.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-355699\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/temp3-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"temp3\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/temp3-300x188.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/temp3-550x345.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/temp3.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a style=\"color: #3b5998\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bytestemplar.com\/misc\/ld48\/29\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>","time":"April 28th, 2014 4:21 pm","title":"Swing Your Big Medical Hammer"}
