"The Canis Incident"
by Shawn Rakowski
Description:
Dr. Adi Van Kovski, a leading bio-engineer at Vitae Dare labs, heads home after a long day of work, leaving her kitten at the office. Then the unthinkable happens... The lab explodes covering the area with an organic mush that, when combined with DNA from animals being tested on in the lab, shapeshifts into bizarre creatures. Dr. Van Kovski makes the courageous decision to save her kitten from these unthinkable creatures, but will she be too late?
In this top down shooter you'll fight your way through the halls of Vitae Dare labs... killing koala-bats, tortoise-hares, and narwhal-horses whom fire rainbow blasts in your direction... in hopes of saving a kitten.

Notes:
I didn't have time to put some indicators in the final stage of Story Mode (you'll know it when you see it). Interact with items in that spaces that seem a bit out of place and you should be able to finish the game.
There are 2 weapons, I didn't get time for an indicator. Q swaps between a shotgun and rifle.
Ugghh! I forgot to wire in the final boss' damage... that 48hr time limit :-(
Play for at least 8 levels in story mode to get to the final level.

The Direct X version seems to work the best.
The OpenGL version sometimes fails on me for no apparent reason. You'll probably need to install OpenAL for the OpenGL version as there is audio.
* Used .NET 4.6.1 / MonoGame
IF WINDOWS DOESNT LET YOU RUN IT *
Right-Click on the EXE, select properties, and click 'UNBLOCK'.
* IF IT DOESN'T RUN IN WINDOWS *
You may need to install directx 9... not sure why things don't get bundled. Try installing here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
For the GL version you may need https://www.openal.org/
