Cubetractor Ludochip 2013

Winner: IGF China award for Best Game. This is a neo-retroesque action-strategy-puzzle hybrid where you defeat enemies through an unconventional cube-pulling, turret-buildling mechanic. The game carries elements of a reverse tower defence and a grounded bullet-hell dodger to deliver a unique gameplay experience presented in a classic top-down perspective. You play as Endroi, a menacingly happy-go-lucky quadrubot as he strives to master the art of Cubetracting - the art of attracting Cubes. It's a deceptively straightforward skill that involves dexterity, acute awareness, multi-tasking and tactical positioning. You'll have to strategize, solve and fight your way through multitudes of enemy installations to achieve your coveted goal. Features: 40+ maps for you to pull, crush and build - Levels carefully designed to bring out the emergent dynamics in a unique mechanic; Symmetrical Balance - Why do bad guys always have to be stronger than you? The enemy structures are exactly the same as yours, other than they got there first. Defeating them is a matter of thoughtful timing and positioning; Purely indie-made - Done by 2 people, living off their savings, working off random coffee joints; Hardcore Awards for Hardcore Players - The main levels are designed for speedruns. Collect all the batteries, reach the finishing goal within impressively tight time limits -- do all that without a scratch -- to earn the most coveted of accolades. Don't worry, there are also options for those of us that are more human.
