Description
No Weapons! Exploding Robots!
For the Ludum Dare 48-Hour competition to build a game from scratch in two days.
You're an unarmed robot engineer and humanity's only hope from the rampant bomb-bots! Run and dash through the levels of the space station to reach hacking terminals, where you can set groups of robots to self-destruct and turn against other robots! As you do, don't let them hit you, but lure them to crash into each other!
For Ludum Dare 18 (8/2010) Theme: "Enemies as Weapons". 2 Tutorial Levels + 3 Combat Levels! Designed & Built in 48 Hours by Xander Davis - www.xanderdavis.com
This is my first entry in Ludum Dare! Speaking of Ludum Dare, special shout out to Noonat. When I was first learning about Flixel, his game "Queens" (also a Ludum Dare project) inspired me to commit to the framework! I definitely recommend anyone try out for the next Ludum Dare! Beyond that, I want to thank Adam 'Atomic' Saltsman for creating and supporting Flixel and everyone at the Flixel community for helping me learn!
Hope you like BOMBCRASH— enjoy!

Probrably one of the best games on this LD48. The bots movement is really good, but you should make it less perfect. A better tutorial would be usefull too.

For only five levels, that was really difficult. Rewarding, though. I like it. I'd like to see a longer sequel.

whatever you did to program the ai on those bots.. i both loved and hated... they were the perfect mix of sometimes random sometimes hunt to kill... they totally made the game for me. short as it was i really enjoyed it.

Fun game and the arts really cool. I don't think you tackle the them, Enemies as Weapons, as well as you could have. You're not really in control of them. You can stay still at the beginning and just listen to them kill themselves.
Good luck with LD18!

this game would be perfect if you had more lives (maybe just 1 extra). Its really hard to not run into the bombs...
