Mag. Because it was supposed to evoke magnetism in some interesting ways initially. Instead, mostly, I present to you a simple shooter. There is some difficulty progression that's playable, and a little more under the hood for future use.
Tried to stick to a simple LCD palette, but went off-palette a few times. Extremely simple. Nothing fancy. But done. First completion in time, yay!
CONTROLS: Arrows or analog stick move. A key or A button fire. (gamepad really is best for this game)
Gamepad has a couple debug controls: Y will clear all current bullets. Holding right trigger then pressing left trigger should restart the current level... Level restart is a bit buggy; use at your own risk. ;)
PLEASE TRY IT BEYOND THE FIRST COUPLE LEVELS! The first two are easy on purpose. It gets harder, fast. Please note there are only five levels in this version...but I challenge anyone to get through Level 5!
TONS of other weird issues remain. There's a bigger game hiding in this with time, I think. There's also a certain madness to the shooting/bulletry.
This submitted version has 5 levels. Can you get through them all? Level 5 is TOUGH!
Please give feedback, and VOTE/RATE!
All versions should now be available: Web, Windows, OSX, Linux32, and Linux64 versions. And source via GitHub, of course.
Linux64 version link is: http://alexfalkenberg.com/ld26/mag-linux64.zip
OSX and Linux versions are totally untested. Please resize/maximize the game window in at least the Win32 version; it defaults to a super-TINY window size.
Enjoy!
