You are a "grepr" - a remote operator hired to collect data from abandoned cities using an AWK drone. At a time when data serves as currency, a competitor appears on the scene with an identical drone. Find her before she finds you. For the AWK drone, moving and shooting are the same. It attaches to walls, floors, and ceilings, then launches explosively to its next target. Anything in the way will have its whole day ruined. Created in seven days for the 2014 7DFPS challenge.

Hello IndieDB netizens! Time for an update on grepr.

The game has garnered a modest but promising amount of attention. Most notably, iDubbbzTV had some great things to say about it. (warning: language)

I mostly agreed with his bigger complaints, so I made a few tweaks:

  • The terminal menu is now more simple and straightforward to operate
  • The enemy AWK drone is now larger and easier to spot
  • The third level, where the enemy AWK first appears, is now greatly simplified
  • Some glitchiness pertaining to the data node collision volume is now fixed

More importantly, the game now runs on Linux! It's 64-bit only at the moment, but everything seems to run just fine. If the game glitches on you, make sure you have libsdl2-2.0.0 installed.

That's it for now. Thanks for reading!
