Destroy as much of the city before it destroys you!

Breakdown is a 3d city smasher designed for Kaijujam 3 for your Windows or Mac PC.

Try to cause as much destruction before you are brought under control! Beware of tanks, as they can hurt you. Those pesky humanoids aren't too much to worry about, but they can swarm you.

The state of the game is currently where I wrapped up for the game jam. It is far from complete to what my original vision is, but I suppose one of the challenges and blessings of a game jam is to complete something. This is that checkpoint, though there are many things I would like to revisit after the jam is over.

Bugs:

Currently sometimes movement glitches out, and there are some clipping errors. Collisions aren't always reliable and the pick up zone and throwing needs some finesse. The AI is pretty basic and could use some spice and strategy, the enemies are pretty one-dimesnsional currently. I would like to make different 'soldier' types, some that resemble power rangers that when three gather they transform into a giant ultraman to fight. I would like to make the tower climbable, and give it a different game dynamic whiile climbing to the top. Jet fighters, more throwables, more environmental improvisational opportunity, special events, in general lots of things could flush out this game to have more excitement and keep interest longer. Its current state is more like a prototype or a proof of concept.

I would like to integrate some tropes like power lines, mutations, supercharging, and allies. It would be nice to create some more mysterious and strange creatures as unlockable kaiju, as well as create a state map with cities to strategically conquest. Upgrading the kaiju is something that is really appealing to me, and some more situational humor and opportunities for the player to find some fun affordances within the game would all be great.

I created the assets (aside from the tower and the music, also mixamo animations were used for the skeletal meshes, these are credited in the 'about' tab in the game)

I had a blast, and hope to do another kaiju jam if they put one on!
