YOU are not the one shooting

Press Shoot (Left Mouse Click) to Fire the ENEMY weapons.

Find ways to avoid Bullet Hell

Make the Enemies shoot each other

Keep them close together and they will turn on each other until you are the last standing

BUG: After enemies are destroyed they remain on the floor but are invisible and can not be moved. Easiest way to keep moving is to press SPACE to jump past them

BUG: When one enemy is remaining they become invincible to bullets. press F (Left Punch) or V (Right Punch) to defeat them

CONTROLS: (Gamepad Compatible)

SHOOT: Left Mouse Click (Right Trigger)

JUMP: Space Bar

LEFT SHIFT: Toggle Facing Enemies (Right Arrow Keys to Zoom / Rotate Camera)

GAMEPLAY TIPS

Experiment with the controls to find secrets and break the game

Use the walls for protection and mis-direction

Cool game! Where did that file size come from? The game itself doesn’t look like it’s 150MB - also make sure to compress that if you want a web build, cause it’ll load forever.

I completed the game twice - what does the rank mean? How much damage I took, how quick I was? Would be cool to have some explanation on that one, otherwise good job on the game!

Thanks for playing. Someone who actually beat it. Bugs and  all :)  I started with the idea of using a terrain with assets. Wasn't working out but never deleted anything. Was using GAIA for Unity. Bloated it. You can actually get to the terrain.( All the foliage was deactivated though but still part of scene) One button triggers invincible "dash" for a few frames that lets you go through walls.  The scoring system not working properly. Just scores punches. It was supposed to score based on time / streaks / no damage etc.  Rank works. It saves all the scores and ranks them all. So if you play again using mostly punches you will get a #1 rank for sure.  I will be cleaning everything up for the Web build hopefully.

Sounds good! Always curious to hear what goes on behind the curtains during game dev! Thanks for the explanation =)

The concept is good, but the gameplay could be a bit more balanced (there should be more incentive for the player to make the enemies shoot). Nice entry overall.

Nice game but a bit buggy and kind of unforgiving, my strat was to gather them all in 1 room, then spam shoot button from the farthest room so they'd all kill each other LOL

Great job for a game jam!

Understood the mechanics but not being able to kill the last enemy was really frustrating.

cool concept, I didn't finish the game because I ended with only 1 enemy and didn't know how to kill it, but a fun experience in general

  • By coincidence I just updated the page to explain the bug. 
  • The idea was to have the enemy bounce the shot off the wall and shoot himself.
  • Not working.
  • Work around is PRESS F or V to PUNCH him !
  • Thanks for playing!

This game seems to have an interesting premise, and has potential. I probably would've had more fun if it weren't so buggy. I kept on getting stuck on apparently nothing, and the enemies would frequently attack nothing (maybe the hitboxes of defeated enemies didn't despawn, or something like that?). Sometimes shots appeared to just phase through walls. also, there was a constant clicking sound, and at one point I had two menus pop up on top of each other.

Buggy. 48 hours Solo. Overwhelmed

It's very interesting premise,  I did enjoy making the enemies attack themselves though I feel this could have a larger impact if they made less noise when being alerted of the player and more emphasis was made on them getting hit with sound effects, particles etc. I found myself trying to find a way to put a wall between myself and them to spam click attack, maybe a larger map could allow for this.
