Super Gladiator Burner 3000 BC 3D en LD36 by moobchunks

made by moobchunks for LD36 (JAM)

Harness the power of the sun and wield the mythical (and disproven) Archimedes Mirror! Use it to mindlessly roast countless gladiators who fight valiantly for their survival by running around.

Ensure they go down in a blaze of glory, and see how many days you can go while burning all the gladiators!

Use the mouse to rotate the mirror up and down, left and right, and use the smoke on the ground as a guide as to where the sun's energy is directed to after it's reflected off the mirror.

Press 'R' key to restart, 'Q' to rage-quit

I think you could remove huge PDB files from archive. They are for debugging. Concept is fun but aiming is... hm... It's like playing with inverted mouse :D. Some kind of focused light ray from mirror would be helpfull. Nice entry.

@AWOL that sucks, what platform are you on, how far do you get when trying to open it?

@Biliogadafr well if it's any consolation we didn't want to make an easy game :P yeah it's friggin hard. I'm on board with the beam of light actually, while playing it during development I had a Debug.ray coming off of the mirror and it made the game a billion times easier.

I haven't farted around with the builds to figure what I can strip out, but good to know about the .pdb files, I should've known because I write .NET code for a living sometimes and have seen them before. Great feedback, thank you

I think its Window 10 or a setting. I've been having problems with a lot lately.
