My first ever submission. Written entirely in javascript without using any external libraries. Inspired by one of my favorite games: Crimsonland.
All the graphics are generated. Used cfxr, a microphone and Audacity to generate sounds.
Works best under Chrome and Firefox. Unfortunately there turned out to be some problems in Safari, which I haven't noticed before the submission deadline. I haven't tested other browsers, but I'm pretty sure it won't work under IE.
Use WSAD or arrows to move and mouse to aim/shoot. Try to beat 400 points. If you get bored try typing in IDDQD (all caps) and see what happens.
I wish I had more time to add features, fix bugs and optimize performance. On the other hand I'm glad I can finally get some sleep.
I plan to both improve this game and write many more, so if you liked it you can follow me on twitter @krlkzb.
@MCPGNZ I know. Redesigning the player character is one of the todos that didn't make it. 48 hours is pretty constraining.
@Fanttum Sorry to hear that. Sound playback issues are what causes the problems on Safari. Which version of Chrome are you using? I wanted to implement muting, but didn't have enough time to. As for the blood, I went all in once I decided on the title.
Nice game, I like the controls which feel very smooth and easy to play. It gets very hard fast but it's enjoyable. I felt like there was a bit too much on the screen after a while, it became hard to see.
@sharpcoder@karlipoppins the game is a bit easier if you play it in a full browser window instead of the embedded iframe. Just click the Web link if you'd like to try.
I scored 181 satisfying and messy game great job on getting something this functional done in the timeframe. minor suggestion: instead of a box that says 'HP' how about a little red cross? makes game more visually interesting and removes language barrier.
@jrap I implemented the powerups about an hour or two before the deadline. Didn't have enough time to tweak their looks, since there were a few other things I wanted done before submission. Some elements are a bit rushed and it shows.
I would play this to the death with an xbox360 controller :) Audio didn't seem to work on my version of Firefox, apart from a pop here and there... But this is an intense game, very intense !!
Bloody mess indeed. I feel like more discernible shapes would have helped this a bit, it starts to clutter and blend after a while. The shooting and movement feels pretty good, especially at the beginning, it starts to drop when more and more stuff gets added.
Fantastic graphical style! I think this would also be super fun with a mouse, but it's really hard with a trackpad so maybe I will come back to it when I'm off the laptop. :)

This game have some lag in my Mac safari. But it works very well in Firefox.

Pro tip: don't IDDQD and then leave the game running while you go get coffee.
Thanks for the game!
+points for using Javascript ;)
turned on God mode for second play-through, scrolled down here to rate, hear fans engage on computer.... scroll back up O_O
"A bloody good time!" -thatwhichis, boxart
But this is an intense game, very intense !!
