Freeware Game Pick: Choke on My Groundhog (Kloonigames)
Choke on My Groundhog, You Robots is a new monthly experimental game by Petri Purho, where players will engage waves after waves of enemy robots in a fight for their survival. This Assembly 2008 Gamedev entry employs a certain time travel gimmick to make subsequent attempts at each level a little easier.
There are only four stages to play in total.

Cool game. Action version of cursor 10.

Is there an actual ending or not? I beat the fourth level and got the "Press Space to Continue" message, so I pressed space, my character reappeared in a time warp, and I got the message again, repeat ad nauseum.
It's a fun little game to play, though. I found that you can press F5 to time travel without dying first, so you can press it repeatedly to fill up the screen with useless copies!

"There are only four stages to play in total." and in the readme "(I'm going to update this game, seriously)"

Right, I know there are only four levels, but is it normal that there's no indication that you've finished them all? I assumed that when it said there were four levels, that after beating those levels there would be some kind of ending.

Yes, the game is unfortunately set that way. I guess the F5 helps to add "replay" if you want to try to kill everything (it did for me at least.)

Uh, the game isn't called Choke on My Groundhog, You Robots. It's called Choke on My Groundhog, You Bastard Robots.
