Death Cycle by WeaselZone

[raw]
made by WeaselZone for LD32 (COMPO)
You know what happens, when you throw items into a running washer? Always wanted to try that? Transform this useful household utility into a weapon of destruction!

Get cash for causing chaos and upgrade your washer or buy even more deadly things to throw into the drum!

Tip: Start with the cheaper stuff and don't spend all your money on upgrades first! :)

Didn't have time to make any music, but at least I got to record my washing machine, while also doing a load of laundry! Multitasking!

Tip: Don't buy the health upgrade first and I recommend a round or two with just socks! ;)

Controls:

- Zoom In / Zoom Out: Mouse Wheel
- Rotate around: Left Mouse Click (Hold)

Made in Unity 5

HAHA omg! Your idea turned out really well! I love all the little details you put into it. All the sounds were perfect.

I think the two things that would really make this game a huge hit would be more action (putting it on the top of a pyramid or something ridiculous xD), and some user interaction (like a boost?). :D

And boy is that top hat a challenge XD!

Nice game here buddy! Staring at a dryer randomly roll around the backyard, while hoping for the best is fun-ish.

The graphics are really nice! And detailed objects too.

A really fun game for 48 hours.
Unless someone buys a 1000 upgrade at the start of the game and has to start over XD

Thank you for participating.

This game made me pray to the RNG gods and laugh like no other game. Lovely! :D

Awesome game! A very nice take on the Jam theme. Simple but very addicting mechanics, nice graphics and jokes. Only problem that I saw is the lack of information on some things (like when you run out of money), but nothing gamebreaking.

Also, too many pickles turned my washing machine into a Soyuz and went flying into space.

@dopplerdefekt I assume that is a good thing? haha

Yes, I was running low on time and had to leave out the tutorial I wanted to add. Thanks for playing!

THE BEST GAME IN THE WHOLE 32! Good Job! I played it for like an hour, got all the upgrades and tried 9 blockias :D

Hilarious work, though a volume slider for music would be good

WHAT THE HELL??? I just spent 1 and a half hours getting all the upgrades with 20,000 to spare. Next time I open the game, *poof* it's all gone. The fact that I am so worried is a good thing, since you obviously made the game so captivating that I really wanted to max the stats out and get the top hat,,, But come on, saving is simple with Unity's PlayerPrefs, so please add that in the future, I will totally download.

btw there needs to be a free thing you put into the laundry in case you upgrade for 1000 first and are left without cash. So you can use the free fuel a few times to get to 25 and then use the socks.

@Asado This is a good point; I totally forgot to add the saving to this. I honestly wasn't expecting people to enjoy it this much. Sorry to hear that you lost your progress.

I will add saving in the Post-LD version!

Really unexpected idea. I spent too much on upgrades and couldn't progress because all I could afford was socks. I liked the art direction quite a bit.

This game is awesome fun! It's really well made and has a nice balance between unpredictable and predictable results.

If anything, I think the only thing it really could have used was more options. More objects to put in, more upgrades, etc. But being a LD game I know there is only so much time. Wouldn't mind seeing this expanded afterwards.

I made a video of my playthrough: http://youtu.be/SrzpQhJm1iY
