Armageddon by 4xisblack

[raw]
made by 4xisblack for LD27 (COMPO)
An art game that picks up right at the end of the classic arcade hit Missile Command.

It's a Flash game! You'll need Flash Player 10.3 or above in order to run it.

As you'll see if you play it, there is room for 8 little vignettes but I only managed to finish 3 of them. I've greyed the other ones out for you to let you know not to try clicking on them, so hopefully it's not too confusing!

As for what the game's objective is... that is a question that the game is asking you. There really isn't a way to 'win' at armageddon; it just sorta happens no matter what. There are 10 seconds remaining in the universe. You can choose how and with whom you spend them. How you should play, what you should do and what you should think/feel about it are up to you.

Love the concept and the stark graphics, but I got confused and wasn't really sure what to do. Looks like it has a lot of promise.

I don't know what to do in this game. But I really love this theme. Very well designed artwork... now I need better instructions about what to do in the game ^^

Really great, new and interesting idea. I like to read some people stories and if player could interact with each of these person to do something then it'll be great.

Great job.
Cool graphic, btw.

Cool graphics and nice idea, I liked it very much and its too bad you didnt get a chance to finish it, I featured it in a compilation video on Ludum Dare 27 games, if you want to check it out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3_qdYR_Vswbit confusing to understand but I do like the game loads, if only you had time to finish it :P Regaudless,

an interesting "game" i havent really played anything like that before but was an interesting walk through some narrative points, and the animation and execution were flawless so can safely say good job =D

That was an interesting experience. This game really shows you how short 10 seconds can be (especially since it's not enough the read the text on the first run). A bit depressing, too. Great job! Very unconventional.

I like the art style! The premise is odd but kind of neat, focusing on narrative instead of gameplay challenges. Good job.

Very artsy, but I wish there was more game to it. Maybe if there was a correct sequence of discoveries that explained what was going on and possibly how to stop it (I know you explain it in your description).
