Haha, I began this game dying straight away, and thinking "Hmm. Seems a little difficult...", but I stuck to it, and I regret thinking that, as the difficulty was just about right. It wasn't a walk in the park, but it wasn't impossible either. It's always nice when a game makes you think tactfully - aided by some pretty decent level design. I enjoyed the music as well. :) I would say that the graphics were a bit weak, but I guess it depends how retro you wanted the game to be. Well done. :D
pixelbear, that is a kind comment XD ! thanks, and yes, the game is not about running amok kiling people like rambo is more like thinkig a strategy :)
thanks, the music is the most retro possible i could make XD !
I like the idea of it and for the most part is executed really nicely. The music is pretty nice and the graphics are colourful.
My only two problems with the game are that you can't shoot in any direction - which would be fine but enemies can walk down towards you cutting you off. The second problem is that I kinda expected to get life back from getting the people into the machine. You really don't have enough health for the levels, especially once the green soldiers are there.
Overall a pretty cool little game.
thanks starspell ! your comment is helpfull :D !true the killed innocents should give you life back, like the story says :/
Yeah I have two issues. One, not being able to shoot up or down... and two... hacking up the survivors should give a health recharge. Other than that, this is really rad. The music is pumping. Some may say the graphics were simple or whatever, but they fit the style very well. Almost like a trash punk kinda environment. I dig the door opening mechanic, but I certainly miss having sound effects. I wasn't able to beat it, but I'll keep trying! Good job!
Haha "I loved a woman once but i needed her blood"
Nice music and oh boy, he puts the whole thing in the machine! Guess he doesnt mind having a bit of jeans and t-shirts to spice his drink.
XD ! no, he uses the same dirty jeans, because he kill the wife that cleaned those jeans XD
The graphics and gameplay are solid, and the text blurbs on each level really add to the mood. Good entry.
Nice. It was not too hard but still a challenge. I thought the way the gun knocked enemies back, but if there were more than one you became overwhelmed was good.
I misunderstood the game a little and thought I'd regain health when I brought someone back to the shredding machine. Otherwise, good work!
It looks okay, although the sidewalk tiles look too similar to the wall tiles, and the perspective doesn't match the sprite bounding boxes. Also seems weird that combat is only horizontal, given the map layout. With polish this could be a fun romp, though.
Also sad that there's no sound effects, but the background music was pretty rockin'.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Fun
