" Rocket Launcher Rocket Launcher Rocket Launcher Rocket Launcher. *TF2 Spy screams* "
I'm in love with the cover, has potential roguelike elements, I love the movements like the Dashes then you Slide is the movement mechanic that can be potential for an action game like this which really reminds me of Enter the Gungeon. I wanna see this character and the game later on for your future endeavors!

Thanks for the Feedback! I do intend to expand the game in the future. For the first update I push I plan to make the enemies take knockback properly, give the player proper I-frames, and have a visual indicator of what weapons you have. If you want to be the first of the first to play the game when I expand it, follow me here on itch.
I'm going to play your game later today. I'll let you know what I think!

That's definitely fair. I wanted to implement a combo limit, but I was already making the boss fight and the weapon system on the last day, so alas, it shall have to be an update
Glad you enjoyed it! My biggest inspiration for the movement was super smash bros. melee
The slide does have frame 1 invincibility. You can yeet yourself into bullets and just delete them. I probably should have had a combo limit on the player (and make enemies actually take knockback properly). I planned to have a UI indicator of weapons, but I was already programming the boss and the combine mechanic on the last day, so I might push that in a later release.
Can't wait to see what you have planned for your future projects! Good luck in the jam!

My favorite SFX of all time. There's a bit of movement tech if you're willing to try and find it. It is a speedrunning game after all. Do you remember what your time was?
first: for gun combining, pick up a gun then get 30 gold. A "+" will appear. Press the combine button. You can stack up to 4 guns this way
2nd: enemies can combo you. You can use this to your advantage to get crazy momentum
3rd: looks like you found damage boosting lol
4th: There are keys. They're purple. Look around. They're surrounded by dirt
I gave the guns different startup and endlag as a balancing mechanic. If the MP7 shot at frame 2 like the pistol, then there'd be no reason to not use it. If I continue the project, I'll make the guns reference your direction at the time of the button press instead of the direction at the time of shooting.
The most broken build RN is 3 snipers tied together. The endlag of the first 2 get interrupted by the next one. Try speedrunning and see what time you can get. My record is 2 minutes flat. Here's a tip: increase your speed like crazy by chaining dashes and slides together
I accidentally posted the wrong version. For a less buggy experience, go here Under Gunstruction (fixed) by Da Flarf

most files I download form itch are mistakenly labeled as viruses. All it takes is a few menus (keep, run anyway) for your system to let you run the program.
