Newt Scoot by CorgiCommander
[The Download is SO worth it]
Have you ever wanted to trash your house to survive a zombie apocalypse?
Well now you can in this survival/tower-defense/physics-sim hybrid about a boy named Newt, who’s trapped in a house in the midst of a spontaneous zombie-alien-esque invasion.
The boy’s father works for the government and notifies the son about it ahead of time, but told him to lock up and be prepared for anything. He's 8 hours away from home, so Newt modified a leaf blower from the garage to create a rather unconventional suction cannon.
-(Left Mouse Hold): Shoot Nearly anything in the house to slow down foes
-(Collision): Open and close doors to keep yourself protected, but be careful, as the zaliens can destroy the doors if left close!
- Watch our for your cat Friskers, as he gets scared easily, and will open and close doors!
- Xbox Controller Support for PC (Right Joystick to aim, Right Trigger to Fire (PC Only) )
Note: Run on Fastest quality settings if you aren't getting full framerate :D

The art is great, too. There's a lot objects in the game considering you only had 72 hours.
Not a whole lot of gameplay/depth with only one level, it's more a prototype than a full game. But still fun.
Some music would have been nice, and really added to the game's atmosphere.
Boy, it really gets tough pretty quickly though. Perhaps I am just terrible at it lol.
I kinda wish I could control placing of items a *bit* better (to barricade myself in?), but maybe I just suck :P
The vacuum is an interesting game mechanic, however a bit confusing as it sucks from behind.
I had a really good time playing it, thank you! :D
