HED KANNON is an attempt to make a turn-based wave shooter set in a futuristic blood sport where contestants strap an energy cannon to their head and fight off waves of opponents for money and fame.
...but at the moment it looks like this:

- Click enemies in your lines of sight to fire the cannon, which uses up all available energy.
- Spacebar shows your lines of sight
Additional info:- the cannon will penetrate one target for every point of energy that it has stored.
- enemies with shields will absorb a hit and be pushed back for a turn. The shield will recharge in two turns.
CURRENT STATE 11/06/14 (Version Test 1.0):FEATURES/MECHANICSJust the basic shooting mechanics and a couple of enemy types. Obviously it’s very basic at this stage, and I do plan to add more enemies and ways of upgrading your character, but right now I’m trying to nail the main “move and shoot” feature.
Does the kannon feel over/underpowered?
Are there too many enemies beyond wave 5? I already reduced their numbers a little bit because they could swarm the player too easily, and I intend to keep their numbers low while ranged enemies hang back and cause interference.
VISUALSAll placeholder sprites for the enemies and UI. Is there anymore visual information that is needed?
SOUNDSAgain, all horrible placeholder stuff I knocked out in seconds with sfxr, but is there any obviously missing sounds/feedback?
KNOWN BUGS-Rare crashes during enemy pathfinding.
-Enemies spawning in can be hit by the beam that killed the last enemy in the previous wave.
Unleash your feedback!
