**HOW IT CAME TO BE**
My son loves cars and monster trucks, so one day I decided to make him a game. So on July 31 I started making this game, and less than a week later it is very playable. The easiness to the gameplay is due, in part, to the fact that my son is about 3 and doesn't understand complex games, but this is perfect for him and he loves to play it.

**HOW TO PLAY**
To play you simple touch the screen whenever the title is displayed, then you touch the screen to make the monster truck go to that location. You can drag the monster truck around as well. The goal is to "crush" as many cars as you can in 100 seconds. To crush a car simple have the monster truck drive over it.

**VERSION HISTORY**
0.51 initial alpha release
0.60 Added increasing difficulty levels
0.63 Added Pause and Game Over screen. Also tweaked time gains and losses some.
0.70 Added obstacles! Auto-pausing when you get a call, hit the home or back button, or otherwise somehow hide the game (but don't kill it) works.

**PLATFORM**
Currently supported and testing on Android 2.2.X. Earlier versions may become support if someone is willing to assist with testing.
Note: You will need to enable install from other sources as the apk isn't signed yet.

Check out the Google+ page for our engine (NLS Engine) here +NLS Engine. We are using Angelscript as our internal scripting engine. Ricky (another team member) has created a nice Unit test framework for use inside Angelscript which you can check out here NLS Google Code repo

Our goal with the engine is to create a modular component-based scripted engine. The modules handle various systems such as graphics, sound, physics, etc and these modules provide the various components that our game entities are made of. The glue that allows attaching components of varying types to a game entity is Angelscript. Additionally we plan to take the engine cross-platform which Angelscript is perfect for.
