PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X

Squishing them is so satisfying! And the art direction is awesome as well.
This is probably the most finished/polished games i've encountered so far this LD.
This is fun. Reminds me of a comedy sketch from the show "Kids in the Hall" Its an old show. They had a reoccurring character that imagined crushing peoples heads like that from afar. The blur effect is really neat.
Nice entry!
It was really hard to squish the aliens sometimes, mostly when they got closer to you. Because of that I got frustrated and quit.
really good~! like how the alien pops out conveti when they died~!
crouching is kinda hax tho (the projectile can hit me lol)
Well done! And anything that references Kids in the Hall is OK with me.
Hey Ted nice job! I knew I wouldn't be the only one to think of this take on the theme :) I loved the screen shake while accumulating pressure on the head, that adds a lot. Graphics are awesome! The blur on the fingers looks good and makes sense. +++ Way to go!
You never cease to amaze me with your aptitude for pounding out amazing products. Everyone should def play this on a big screen, it's the next Call of Duty, except better.
Awesome work Ted! I love the music and sfx, great job with the game and I look forward to the next jam!
Dang, another fantastic game! You nailed everything about this, from the blackboard scorekeeping to the doodles to the perspective of the whole thing to the gameplay. Pretty damn awesome!
Fine work Ted. Loved your simulation of resistance when crushing an alien. Very cool game!
This is a very nice entry! well done! Great music, sounds, gameplay and graphics!!! Well done!
Great job Ted! I'm very impressed with how much you were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time, especially with it being in 3D too. I really enjoyed watching your game come together. It's a lot of fun popping their heads off. Just wish I could pop as many as mandolin though.

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
Fantastic! I can't believe you made this in only 48 hours, great job! I love the graphics and how you integrated the score on the chalkboard. I had a little bit of trouble with the controls but overall great game! Also I love Kids in the Hall also.
