Antikythera Mechanism by thegunmaster
I participated together with my friend.
And we didn't quite like the theme, so we just decided to do something derpy with it.
After some googling we found the 'Antikythera Mechanism' which seems to be an ancient computer.
The real use of the thing was a bit boring,
so we just started making up stuff, and came up with this watchdog like idea, in ancient times.
Unfortunatly time ran out, so not all 4 planned levels are done.
controls:
a,d: left, right
space: jump
w: attack
s: place computer
The game even has a little editor build in :)
This was only for creating the levels though, so for personal use.

I have tweaked some details in the game, and added the 2 last level and altered one.
Enjoy the game :)

@Bobsleigh you need to connect the spinning cogs by dragging your mouse inside the computer area (provided you have collected the necessary cogs). Then you should be able to select a "hacking action" on the left. Also, there may be more actions (in level two for instance), so it matters where you click when you're about to perform "the hack".
That said, it took me a while to figure this out, and a tutorial explaining it would be nice.
I like the idea, hacking with an ancient computer, and it was executed quite well.
The graphics and the music were also okay - I especially like the animation playing when you're using the computer (be it smashing the spartians or actually using it).
Overall, I like the concept, but for some reason, it stopped being fun for me sometime during the second level. I do think it's a good game, but, apparently, not my type.
I like the bgm it sounds as if GTA was in ancient greek.
And the old dude with the computer is a greek oldman thug. XD
I couldn't stop thinking about it hahaha!!
But overall pretty solid game, well done :D
The grey platform of the last level had problems with it's hitbox... seems like an extra block hitbox.
I loved the concept even if I didn't understand quickly how to places the cogs.
I got some freeze while loading the game but else everything was fine
