Welcome to the "Alternate Reality Boss Fight"!
*Update: Post-compo, I made the music not autoplay, so it doesn't startle anyone. That's an acceptable change, right?
*Update2: Oh nice, nevermind, PoV added a cool interface instead ;D
=== CONCEPT ===
Follow the villain through his lair and into the fight room, in order to defeat him and get back what he stole!
My idea was to have a classic retro boss fight where each time you play you're in a different reality. The villain steals different items. Also, every time you play the game, you and the villain are given a random weapon, making the fight interesting and fun!
=== CONTROLS ===
It should work in your favorite browser - it's Flash. :)
- WASD to move
- Arrow keys to shoot
- M to mute
HINTS! You can wall jump and double jump. Get an extra boost by shooting downwards too!
=== WHAT WENT WELL ===
- A lot of things! I am really happy with this game!
- I got more done than I thought I would!
- I really love the engine that I developed for this game!
=== WHAT DIDN'T GO WELL ===
- Ran out of time! I'll be doing a small post-compo!
- I wasn't able to add unique abilities to weapons. Maybe this was a good thing though?!
- The livestream wasn't very well executed. At least the timelapse went really well though!
=== MUSIC ===
Thanks so much for your comments about the audio! It's not much, but here's the main loop:

I hope you enjoy the game!!
