Shrink and Destroy is a fast action platformer-shooter that features voice acted cutscenes, difficulty levels, bosses and online scores for speedrunners.
Story:
Doctor Szalinski has built a miniaturization bomb that he is threatening to destroy the world with.
Use a combat walker outfitted with a miniaturization device to hunt down the doctor and stop him from using the bomb.
CONTROLS:
- Move: WASD
- L Click: Fire your weapon
- R Click: Use melee weapon
- Numbers 1-4: Select your weapon
- Space: Jump and skip cutscenes
- Escape: Quit the game
Tips:
- The machine gun is fast firing and good for mowing down lots of enemies.
- Rockets are good for destroying tough enemies or firing around walls since they track your mouse.
- Your laser is for killing many enemies in front of you at once. Hold to charge it and release to fire.
- If you run out of ammo you can jump on weakest enemies or use your melee attack to kill them.
- Pick up collectibles for more ammo and to repair your walker.
- The game records your play time. After completing all 3 levels, your time is sent to High Score list (not on casual or story mode though)
- Speedrun mode automatically skips cutscenes

I hope people would give more comments and critique about the game.
Also there's been 17 downloads so far and no new speedrun times.
I wonder if the game is not clear enough for how you get your time to the high scores... or is it too hard to play through or too easy/uninteresting to bother a speedrun?
