ありがとう!200,000DL突破! 面白さを追求して制作しました!! 立体起動装置を使い、進撃する棒人間巨人どもを駆逐せよ! 一気に駆逐する時の気持ちよさを実感してください。 ■■■遊び方■■■ 1,タップしたポイントにワイヤーが伸び、棒人間が高速で移動。 2,ターゲットポイントのうなじに狙いを定め駆逐せよ。 3,ハートをゲットすると回復 4,キラキラをゲットするとボーナスタイム突入一気にポイントを稼げ! ■■制作者の感想■■ 立体起動装置の特殊な動きを作るのに結構時間がかかりました。物理アルゴリズムで自然な動きを演出させて、本編のようなカッコイイ動きを追求させました。なおかつ一番重要な面白さとプレイしている時の気持ちよさを考慮して制作しました。なんと言っても、ボーナスタイム時に一気に駆逐する時が本当に気持ちいいです!制作した僕が実際にプレイしてハマッテしまいました。 遊んでみて、面白かった点や気になった点がありましたらドシドシレビュー書いてください。もちろん、厳しいお言葉も大歓迎です!!
