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
Build a landscape by selecting the pieces you want.
When you click on the pieces of decor that pass by, you actually make them move at the same speed as you. It's the most unconventional weapon I could think of :).
I could not test the OS/X and Linux build.
Tell me if you have any trouble I'll deal with it.
Enjoy :)

I couldn't agree more with what jhell said. But still - nice landscape generator!
Doesn't fit the theme at all unless I am missing some twist in the end game? ;) Nice concept though.
Warm and cosy! But i had to think a little bit to see the theme.
The combination of slow music and objects starting and stopping, this is so strange. I laughed and it put a smile on my face. I like the angle of the view. I don't get how it fits to the theme though.
Thank you everyone for your comments!
I'm surprised about the theme interpretation I though it was pretty straightforward! :)
When you click on the pieces of decor that pass by, you actually make them move at the same speed as you. It's the most unconventional weapon I could think of :). Was that mandatory to make a weapon that kills?
This is really quite innovative. Maybe a bit subtle but it communicates itself very clearly. Maybe if you could see a hand or something that suggests the user has an avatar it would help people to see your way of thinking of the theme.
Very original idea! Pretty simple, but very beautiful. Great work!
I agree with your tweet that it absolutely shouldn't have to be a weapon that kills, and I'm very happy to see takes on that. However, I can't seem to stretch the definition of weapon in any way to possibly cover what I am seeing here, so I'm quite confused TBH!
I hope I didn't miss something. I played for quite a while and noticed more and more things were appearing. Yellow rocks, green trees, blue buildings(?) and white clouds. Was anything else supposed to come after that?
So while I can't say I understand how this fits the theme, it was fun in a weird way! I kept laughing because I didn't understand what was going on.
The sound design is so simple, yet great. It's very pleasant how different notes are played with every click and all seem to work out together, and fitting the slow beat. It reminded me a lot of Animal Crossing's sound design.
Very interesting!
I don't really see the unconventional weapon, but the idea and the graphics are super !
Very medidative game. If it can be called a game. I think you need to have some elements to keep feeling of moving train. Sound of train on rails, windows jiggle.
I loved the audio, especially the shifting tones when you set a piece of landscape. That's one of my favorite effects.
Oddly soothing and compelling, and totally different from anything else I've seen so far - thanks!
It's... I don't even. It has a nice mood. And I like the graphics.
Not really fitting the theme but I like the mood and atmosphere. Graphics are nice as well.
Oh, and by the way, it works properly on OSX :)
Very unconventional for sure. +1 for finding an alternative interpretation of the theme that doesn't include death.
Great mood (music + sound + gfx)
This is a neat toy. I think it's an interesting concept that has potential to be a fun and relaxing thing to play with if polished.
I agree with other commentators that it doesn't fit the definition of 'weapon', but it's a lovely game all the same. simple and fun. the audio added a lot to it.
on thing i found was that, whereas at first it felt like i was on a train or something passing by objects, after i clicked on a bunch of them, it felt more like i was staying still and the objects were coming towards me. i preferred the former perspective, felt more like i was going on a journey. maybe have the ground animate so it still feels like you're travelling forward?
Love it! Only crit is maybe it could of referenced a train car or passenger seat, and some types of objects could of played a different sounds sample. Very glad some people are being truly unconventional with their interpretation of weapons!
Thank you everyone for playing and commenting. I agree with all of you and I'm working on a new version thanks to you :)
Very unique idea! Not sure it completely applies to theme, but it could be interesting to develop further outside of the jam.
Works On Linux. Interesting idea of conveyor-belt landscape. not much else to the game though.
The theme is the only thing missing to me. This is beautiful and I love it
Felt like an interactive art piece. Not sure what the message was, other than a point of perspective (i.e. you are the one that's moving, possibly inside a vehicle). Was morbidly interested in seeing how many set pieces I can make still, and cause the game to crash.
Maybe not closely related to the theme, but it is a very creative idea. You could potentially make a puzzle game that involves matching a landscape or something. :)
This was quite a relaxing game, audio was good, mood was nice. Nice and different approach on the theme. Great job!
This definitely is unconventional ;) I like the idea. But it gets boring relatively quickly. Still, good entry.
Not much game in this. I did like the graphics and sound, though. I think the idea has some merit as well if you change it around a little. For example, have a landscape passing by outside and let the player pick one or two parts of the landscape to travel along and destroy the other pieces for points.
I liked this entry, it's fun! Especially I liked randomly but musically pitched click sound.
I've similar feeling when sitting in a long-distance train.
It's great to see someone make it into a game.
Kinda cool, although more of a toy than a game. ;) It was executed well, though!
Lack of theme aside, this is a rather nice and relaxing game. I do wish there was a feature to take screenshots of your finished landscape though :)
I like it! I wish I could speed the train up or something. It might also be funny if, like you mentioned, the objects were moving in time with the train and would thus collide and knock the incoming objects out of the way.
Well good idea. Doesnt fit into theme even a bit. But it was fun. Havent checked post compe i hope you added some more landscape material.
Nice graphics and sound.
Maybe is not in the classic definition of game (to win?) but it is very relaxing :)
It gets boring quite quickly, but even if it's very simple, it is very engaging.
This was an odd entry. I like odd entries. I like this. Good stuff.
Need little toy experience. Since you're at the mercy of the random generator I felt the landscape I created was more random than something I had set out to build. Would have been nice to speed up time so I could choose to ignore pieces without needing to wait a while.
Collision detection on clicks is off, if I tried to stop a piece near another piece it would often cause the nearby piece to start moving again.
Really relaxing and fun to play! I included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/m_vzNeNUn1c

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.
Interesting entry :). It can sometimes be frustrating to try to click on something behind an object that you already stopped.
I think you could have gamified the concept though.
