Sup everyone. I've been reading TIGSource for awhile now but haven't actually competed in any contests or talked on the forums. I think the competitions are great and wanted to try out one this time. I think I'm about %75 done with it, but here's going to be my entry:
Mazemup
(Combination between a maze game and a shootmup)
I don't know anything about programming, but have always been interested in game design, so I wanted to try and make the gameplay as procedural as possible, but this was the best that I came up with.
Gameplay/Story:
You're a cyclops whom takes care of a maze/labyrinth area that has gone awry. You are supposed to be in control of everything, but you have lost all control. Explorers enter the area and you must shot them enough to destroy them. A maze generates around them and changes in real time. There is sometimes also no way to reach the explorers, making you wait until the maze forms to benefit you. You also have Pillars that were supposed to shoot at the explorers, but now only target you; but these pillars have a random possibility of either damaging you, damaging itself, healing you, increasing your speed, or decreasing your speed.
The game keeps continuing increasing the amount of walls composing the maze and the amount of pillars attacking you. You shoot eye beams that can destroy the explorers and the pillars. The amount of explorers you destroy is you level/current score.
Here's some screenshots so far:
NEW UPDATE: I've got a finished version now:
Mazemup herealso
Here , in case the first one stops working.
Sorry, but windows only.
I'm welcome to any critiques anyone throws my way.
