Some sort of counter to show how many buildings\/cows are left to harvest would have be good. Some other mechanic, such as dropping buildings on turrets to destroy them would have been welcome.

R. Eak was finished building his latest diabolical invention, a laser turret system,\r\nthe mayor showed up and demanded that the (slightly evil) doctor hand over the controls for safekeeping.\r\nThe doctor refused at first, but when the mayor said he'd give the doctor just 10 seconds to comply,\r\nhe did as he was told.  The mayor always counted to ten and took Doctor Eak's inventions; it had always\r\nbeen that way.  But this time was different.  Doctor Eak finally snapped, and decided to take matters\r\ninto his own hands.  He wanted to expand his tower of evil, but needed materials and mindless slaves.\r\nOn top of all this, he wanted hamburgers.  Using the alien spacecraft he had discovered a few weeks\r\nprior, the doctor set out to conquer the world.\"\r\n\r\nUPDATE: Increased laser range\/decreased frequency of shots. (This makes the game a lot more difficult.)  Also added mouse support to some parts of the game menus that didn't.\r\n\r\nNOTE: I realize that it seems like I didn't really follow the theme. Putting it into the backstory instead of the game itself seemed like the only way to finish a game in time at all, because I was forced to start over halfway through. I would rather have a game that I could call complete than no game at all. That said, feel free to give me 0 stars in the theme rating if you feel the need to do so. =p\r\n\r\nYour goal is to abduct everyone and everything; steal 9 houses, 6 silos, and 10 cows to demonstrate\r\nyour superiority over all.\r\n\r\nUse WASD to navigate your craft around the map. Use the arrow keys to adjust the camera\/rotation.\r\nUse the spacebar to activate your beam (to abduct) once you have something positioned underneath it.\r\n\r\nFor those running Windows, just run drfreaksabduction.exe\r\n\r\nFor other operating systems, you'll need to get Blender 2.68a (or a newer version) from blender.org\r\nOnce you have Blender installed, just open run_drfreaksabduction.blend\r\n(If for some reason it doesn't start once Blender opens, try pressing the P key)\r\n\r\nKnown problems:\r\nSome older graphics cards or ATI graphics cards may not display correctly or work at all.\r\nThere is a large lag spike towards the beginning of actual gameplay; just give it a moment and the\r\nframerate will return to normal.\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nJust a side note: I used the BGE again this time because I didn't feel that I was experienced enough with\r\nUnity to make a full game in such little time.  Maybe next time. =p\r\nI wish I could've made the game longer, but I had to start almost completely over halfway in due to\r\nun-fixable lag spikes.\r\n\r\n\r\nThanks for trying out Dr. F. R. Eak's Abduction!\r\nCreated by Jonathan Fischer (Core43)","title":"Dr. F. R. Eak's Abduction"}
