SynergIze wIth your robotIc battle-scaffold and take hold of the Earth's destIny lIterally. WIth your trIdurium chaIn, swIng the Earth around and beat back the Invaders. \r\n\r\n[Move your battle scaffold wIth WASD or Arrow Keys.\r\nSpace bar advances the splash screen and cut scene.\r\nEscape quIts.\r\nF11 goes full screen.]\r\n\r\nOr at least, that was my vision. There's hardly any actual game here. The opening cutscene is partially done. My idea was to have the ships appear, then cut to the surface and show your battle scaffold point to the sky defiantly, then slam it's fists down into the ground and pull the Earth out from under itself. Then you would fly rapidly sideways while swinging the Earth around on a chain and hit the enemy ships with it. There's no collision between the ships and the Earth or the player, and as you'll see, I never managed to work out the mechanics of the Earth on a chain. It mostly just freaks out and whips around strangely and the chain is at a bizarre angle to everything else. At least I feel like I learned a lot working on this one, which I think is the most valuable part of the experience so I don't think it's a waste.\r\n\r\nAlso... my girlfriend is sitting next to me as I submit this and just said \"Your alien space ships look like big Swedish Fish\". So there's that.","title":"GIant RevelatIon EnergIzed KIng Karma EpsIlon"}
