This was supposed to play a bit like Jazz Jackrabbit (obviously it doesn't).

It's a platformer reverse bullethell shmup.

There are ten weapons to obtain in this game, each has to be bought for cash found throughout the level and inside enemies.

Weapons however, are not switchable (that was the intent), so once you obtain a weapon, it will shoot, every time you press X, eventually shooting all 10 weapons simulatenously.

The goal is simple: find the nuke, the ultimate weapon (you can additionally search for Winner's Roomthingie when you get it)

The plot

Uhm... seriously? OK. You are a wannabe Metal Slug boss monster, and you have to stack up on weapons to get someone to even bother to draw your face properly.

Since, the weekend ends Tuesday for me, I might probably participate in the jam, so if you're an artist and like this, please contact me, or just draw stuff.

Also, if the flash is not working, please try tommorow, since I need to replace the embed code, but I'm too busted for now.

EDIT:

I changed the embed thingie, and now it works! Also,

!!! BUG WARNING !!! DO READ !!!

If you jump in a 1-block high passage (esp. the one you made yourself) you will get STUCK FOR LIFE. I'll fix that in a jam version, sorry :(
