The magnet had a lot of potential, but it wasn't very effective. It would have been nice to be able to throw cars into eachother or pull down helicopters, so I can see where you were going with it, but as it stands, it's better to just punch and watch things flip. That part is actually really fun, and the flip noises made me go back and play a second time just to see if I could more flips on a single car.

Very nice pixel art, it is satisfying to hit the cars with the puncher. The magnet seems quite pointless except for blowing yourself up by overheating it :P, I suppose that part is not finished yet.

Great job on your first entry!

Yep, helicopters was going to be the next thing I added right after adding a bunch of other stuff behind the cars, such as newspaper stands, etc. But sadly I spent so much time tweaking the physics that this is all I could get out. But thanks for playing :)

Had a ton of fun with this. Well done!

I'm glad you added a timer, because I could sit here literally all day just throwing cars into other ones and watching them explode. It was so much fun to punch a car and see it do flips in the air. Really well done. Nice car graphics too, would love to play a more developed version of this! :)

The graphics are great and the game play is fun, what more could you want. You should definitely continue developing this game.

It was fun and satasfying but it was obvious that you didn't get to finish and do as much as you would have liked to. Fun though, good job!

Quite fun!

This was FUN... magneting the cars along and then punching when there is a group.. boom... flip Flip FLIP
Suggestion: Move the magnet heat meter near the car where it can be seen while looking at the car, or give more obvious/exaggerated audio clues.
Satisfying.

Nice work. Great concept. Interesting..

Great game! I just wanted to mention that libGDX's jar is runnable on Linux and Mac too! This can improve your visibility, I guess.

Graphics are crisps and controls are responsive. The game concept perfectly fits the compo theme, and is somewhat original. I liked the differential scrolling for the cavern background. Of course, being made in 48hr, there is little content.

I feel like a broken record repeating that on every entry, but, please support arrows keys in addition to WASD. Some of us have azerty keyboards.

Destructive fun! Is there some goal which you must accomplish before timeout?

fuzzywuzzie 2014-04-28 19:14

Pretty neat! It would have great to be able to destroy buildings too!

mrblade 2014-04-28 21:20

Very impressed with this game. Very fun, nice physics, good graphics, nice sounds, very good upgrading system, and it fit the theme well. I wish scores were implemented, but the amazing gameplay experience made up for that. The WASD + Space hand posture got tiring after a few minutes, but that's not a big deal. I would love to see a arrow key adaptation. Considering your released your source, I may add it myself. Would it be okay if I released it with an arrow key add-on? Keep it up!

landosystems 2014-05-01 20:34

Great work! That was way more satisfying than I expected it to be. This is great, you should polish it up, add some more features and release it as a mobile game. I really wish you could smash the building down too... Rampage from underground!

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-05-04 20:05

Very well done graphics. Fun game play too.

tehryanx 2014-05-05 17:16

this was great. The one thing I would have added under the time constraints would be allowing the cars to take damage when they collide with each other. That would give the magnet a ltitle more purpose. Overall, a super cool concept :D

badlydrawnrod 2014-05-05 17:22

That is good fun. Would be great if you could get score combos for smashing cars into each other, etc.

Nicely implemented scrolling too.

binary_girl 2014-05-05 20:13

well done man.. the magnet is quite fun :)

brodavi 2014-05-06 04:54

wooow so much fun :P I love punching those cars. very gratifying. too bad about the score, oh well, great game anyway :)

donovanwu 2014-05-06 13:02

This game has great potential for further development!

kevinworkman 2014-05-12 11:36

This has a lot of potential, but there isn't a lot of gameplay here yet. I could see an expanded version of this being really fun though, reminds me of those Indestructable Tank games.
