Weapons of Minimal Destruction by bluescrn
It's an arena shooter, like many others. But don't just start shooting everything - as the aim of this one is to get a minimal score!
If you let enemies live, you lose score. Killing them gains you score. Kill as few as possible whilst still surviving! You'll also lose a bit of score for dying.
Of course, watch out for those nasty shiny coins, as they'll make your score go in the wrong direction!
WASD/Arrows to move. Mouse to aim+fire.
Made with Unity, Blender, AS3SFXR, SpaceScape, and Photoshop
You can play it on the web, but the native Win32 build (in the same zip as the source) runs a bit more smoothly, and can run full screen.

Except you did a proper game with nice, detailed GFX, I approached every aspect of my game with "minmalism" on mind :)
As the intro says, the best strategy seems to be killing the big guys as soon as they appear and not bother with the little ones (they'll agglomerate and form a group easy to avoid). Got 650K on my first try, 580k on my second try.
You should add a low-radius/low-speed magnet effect on coins, could be fun have to run away from coins trying to get to you :)
I like that you can play it in two different ways, trying for a low score, or just playing it like a regular game. It was pretty hard to rack up +points though, if aiming for that, guess it wasn't balanced for it, which is understandable. Both ways was fun.
the concept is brilliant, the graphics are awesome, the gameplay is fluid - I loved it
Best (worst?) score: 572.190
I killed everything on the first go, but after that I found that trying to not kill anything is actually a lot of fun. Cool concept and sweet graphics!
Very impressive! :)
This game is so well done. I'm very impressed with what you've managed to do in only 48 hours!
Don't know what else to say.. I'm just amazed :D
My minimum score was 576280 :P
474k at first attempt, definitely playing this again soon!
Cons: Not really on theme, but the theme sucked a bit so.. And the start game button could have used some love =)
As the nonsense talk shows it, I just keep playing again and again before stop around 500 000...grrrr! I will retry later. Funny game and I love the concept!
It's great. :)
There should be an in-game reason to try to go for minimum damage. If it's all just based on score, it's just more fun to ignore it and shoot everything.
