The best way to turn off your brain. Go guns blazing through a hospital!
This is actually based on what I did back in '99
Wow! What an experience! The theme is well executed here, and the core mechanics are solid. My biggest critique is that the core gameplay loop is a bit too simplistic (activate all syringes, go nuts, rinse and repeat), but that's more of a nitpick than anything. I get the sense that your primary goal was the spectacle of activating all the effects at once to mow through hoards of enemies, and you certainly achieved it!
Yeaaa, near the end I realized that, wow, we worked so much on the mechanics, but we definitely should have worked on the gameplay more, a lesson for next game jam
the sliding mechanism is implemented pretty well and the overall gameplay and animations are very fun. i'd love to play a polished version of this!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
could'nt get past the first floor (got lost) but amazing gameplay!
It's ok every floor is the same just randomized lol
i got through like 10 floors (had like 300 of each drug last i checked) started getting bored AND FOUND OUT I COULD SLIDE. needless to say my run ended like 10 floors later when i clipped out of bounds. the sonic fan in me is hooked
Tbh I forgot you could slide and forgot to add it to the tutorials list in the description :P Glad you had fun playing!
Oh my goodness I was playing tons of game this morning and missed this one somehow this game is insane! I also love this kind of style for these types of game the sort of cynical and horror types. 12345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345612345123456123456123456123456123456123456123456123456123456123456
Glad you liked it and yeah pressing 123456 constantly gets annoying lol
Polished, fun, and you can do drugs, what else is there? Not sure how to get the other gun and pressing 1-6 got a bit annoying since you do it so much, not sure what the alternative would be though
can press Q to activate everything, we had it but forgot to allow user to use it lol, and you hold R to switch guns, The controls are on the main menu to read now
I LOVED this one - Favorite bit was seeing a crapton of enemies and just sliding my hand across the number keys like a piano and going ham. Only bit I can criticize is the rooms - everything kind of looks the same, so it's easy to get lost and run out of time once you defeat all the enemies.
The rooms do look prett much the same, ive added more enimies so maybe you can see your trail of carnage as you find the exit now (the lazer has a bug that it sometimes doesnt delete itself so you might be able to use that to see where youve been, its not a bug its a feature)
Sick game!
Thanks!
I thought this game was very awesome I thought spamming the number keys was very satisfying and triggering all the synergies, but I feel like the durations of the effects are kind of low, I constantly stopped moving just to re-activate effects. I really liked the visuals and animations, overall good :)
I agree we should have made the effects last longer and drop less often. We were planning on adding a bunch of screen effects so you could better tell when they were active but we didn't have enough time. We were going to add the ability for you trigger every effect "all at once" with Q but didn't get around to it. I'm glad you liked the game and animations! (first person animations were me)
You can now easily press Q to just keep going without taking your hands off the entire keyboard!
Very well done, my favorite so far, needs some work with regards to polish, but dont they all! Love the animations and vibes.
I'm glad you liked it! I wish we would have had more time to polish things up and add a proper main menu.
Idk man Curly seems to have changed since the Tulpar crashed...
Seriously though, great game! I like how some of the drugs have synergy with each other, although I do wish the way you got them was more complex. Maybe in a future release?
The original plan was the have you get a random assortment of stims at the start of the level and then occasionally get them from enemies and pickups in the level, but we didn't have time for that. I'm glad you liked the game!
Best game I've played! Like a cooler version of a classic arcade game!
The artwork for the environment, UI, and is super detailed, and the animations perfectly fit the style. You can't beat the atmosphere this game generates!
The gameplay was smooth and fast-paced, it's exactly what you want in a shooter. I love the power and versatility that the weapons offer, letting you tear through hoards with your primary arm, or blow through tougher enemies with your shotgun. And the buffs that go with them are insane in the best possible way! Thrilling speed boost, agile homing shots, and exploding bullets that turn crowds into dust. I love pairing everything with the dual weilding perk to double the chaos!
I will 100% be playing this more in my free time.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
