About This Game
[!!! WARNING : THE WEB BUILD RUNS LIKE SHIT! PLEASE USE IT ONLY FOR PREVIEWING THE GAME & GRAB THE EXECUTABLE TO PLAY IT PROPERLY IF YOU LIKE IT
!!!]
A very small, difficult & heavily randomized arcade run-n-gun game inspired by Elevator Action, Rolling Bird & Tank Force. The game has 7 stages and 2 unique loops (it keeps looping past that point but without any new content). The first loop is properly tested & completely doable, the 2nd loop is tested enough to be beatable but not guaranteed to be fair.
Collect all the gold items to spawn the staircase leading to the next floor.
Don't die.
--- CONTROLS & MECHANICS
---
Use arrow keys & z/x/enter to navigate the menu by default. You can resize the window freely in the desktop version, or press alt + enter to go fullscreen.
You can move, shoot, hold the shoot button to
toss a grenade
, or use up a bomb. The grenades & bombs are
strictly limited
. You can get more bombs by meeting certain
score thresholds
.
Extra score
can be gotten in 3 ways : get to the staircase in under 30 seconds, kill more than 1 enemy with the same projectile for a MULTIKILL BONUS, and destroy golden blocks in the environment. The longer you stay in a room, the more points enemies will be worth. Also, the further you are in the game, the more lucrative everything becomes.
Rooms get more & more difficult the longer you stay in them. Eventually ghosts will start appearing from killed enemies & chasing you down.
Exits appear on the opposite side of the screen relative to your current position, so you can plan things out a bit. Your initial starting location is picked at random from 6 possible locations.

It's a very small scale project that I made for fun, basically the kinda game I'd wanna play myself as a big fan of Elevator Action & Rolling Bird. Because of this, I am unlikely to do any sorta major u
