I'm working on a top-down 2D pixel-based shooter called "Cute though Irrational".
I played around with similar ideas before. But I have now decided to make an actual releasable game (and release it!)
The current plan is to target PCs (Windows/Mac OS/Linux.)
There isn't much, currently. You can get in. Shoot the enemies. Spawn a bit more.
(The gif doesn't do justice to what actually renders. See the video below instead!)
And oh, I'll keep making online builds (playable in the browser) available here:
https://game.6th.app/ctiPlease give it a shot if you're interested! I'd especially love to hear your thoughts on the movement and shooting mechanics.
It won't work well on mobile/tablets as I haven't added any controls for those. On Windows and Linux, I tested only Chrome based browsers.
Input options:
- Keyboard WASD/Shift + Mouse (shoot any direction)
- Keyboard WASD/Shift + YGHJ/Space (directional shooting)
- Gamepad dpad + abxy + LT + RT (directional shooting)
- Gamepad twinsticks + LT + RT (shoot any direction)
(To make gamepad work, just move the mouse cursor out of the way, like top of the screen.)
Looking forward to sharing more, and I'm always looking for constructive feedback! Thanks in advance.
My goal is to make this an fast-paced game filled with action, good enemy AI, replayability through player skill acquisition (similar to some e-sports 3d games, maybe.)
Well. BIG ambitions! I'm hoping to deliver though.
Thanks again!
