the Pit is a short game made for the 48 hour compo contest, which was my first by the way. It is a rogue-like 2D platform shooter (if that is even a legit genre) where the main goal is to survive as long as possible in waves of berserking enemies.
So, what has this to do with the theme? Well, thats simple, you only have one live, so dont waste it. The amount of ammo you get at the start is very limited too, so keep an eye on your ammo to.
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy the game as much as I did making it.
Controls:
w,a,s,d to move and jump
w in the air to double jump
space to restart
q to bring up the upgrade screen (only if leveled up)
lmb to shoot
Used software:
Game:
Game Maker 8.0 free edition
Design/ visuals:

Adobe Photoshop
Audio:
Audicity
Reaper
Guitar Pro 5
SFXR
I made a post-ludum version with some bug fixes:
- spawning inside the screen
- enemies never spawn right above you
- faster loading
- other restart button
