NOTE: This game uses modern OpenGL and may not be supported on older graphic cards.
Welcome to the arena! You're one awesome gladiator guy or girl that must survive 9 harsh challenges. After that you're free. But you choose to stay in the arena, probably because the programmer was to lazy to put in a real ending in the game! But there is something strange. The weapon you use is quite unconventional. The bullets will not hurt you. But after damaging an enemy, the bullet will become red or evil! The bullet won't hurt the enemy anymore. But it will hurt you. So watch out for red bullets! And one other thing! The bullets bounce around a bit before disappearing.
HOW TO PLAY: WASD - MOVEMENT MOUSE - AIM LEFT MOUSE BUTTON - SHOOT SPACE - STARTS NEXT ROUND(You can also click on the text)
When you finish a level an upgrade screen will slide in. You have 1 upgrade point after each level. NOTE: UPGRADE POINTS DO NOT STACK! ALWAYS SPEND THEM BEFORE NEXT ROUND! Here is what the stats do: Restore health - Restores one health point. The maximum number of health points is 5. Damage - Increases damage by 1 for each upgrade point spent. Maximum is 4. Enemies health increase by one each round. Speed - Increases Speed by 1 for each upgrade point spent. Maximum is 6. You start with 4 speed.
This is my fourth ludum dare entry. I'm so happy with this one actually. Finished well before the deadline. It was a fun experience. But i'm really tired working with my own engine. It's so frustrating when something just won't work. But a good experience to have in the future. Please leave feedback! (Bad or good, doesn't matter to me) ENJOY! :D
EDIT: This is regarding the crashes. I'm almost going mad at this point. I can't even reproduce a crash on any of my 4 test computers! I checked through the code over and over again and can't find anything. But I did found some old font code that was not being used. I removed so hopefully it is fixed now. If not I don't know what to do.
I'm really sorry but I can't. I don't have access to Mac system right now and my code is not the most cross-platform code ever written. But I loved your game by the way. It was a very cool idea.
Works fine for me! Win 7 64bit. Good job, really juicy and difficult game. One annoyance is the lack of fullscreen which, combined with mouseaim, made me constantly select other windows instead of the game window. Which caused me to die quite a lot. Perhaps I'm shooting too much haha.
Game ran just fine. The reflecting bullets made the gameplay really interesting, but I didn't like how an enemy could spawn pretty much right next to you at the start of the round.
Altough I am a sucker for gimmick bullet hells like this game, it really doesn't fit the theme at all. The simple mechanic of the bullets changing colours is pretty interesting and I had quite bit of fun playing it.
A lot of fun, way to ignore a theme though! it needed some way to stop me clicking outside the screen which usually prompted certain death, and does it only go to level 9?
Crashes on start, also, my graphic card is not old, it is a nvidia. I feel bad man, it don't seen you are using an essential super effect that need a new graphic card but still people can't play it. It is really a shame. :\
