Steam Heart

Steam Heart

This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive
(may not load correctly).
So the theme was Ancient Technology, so I went with Steampunk-ish setting. I planned to have more stuff in, but alas time is short and I wanted to make a polished game instead of cramming loads of stuff in. It's basically the first stage from a long lost Mega Drive game.

My tribute to Treasure's lovely run-n-guns.

I highly recommend playing the windows version as the game isn't well optimized for flash as it was intended to run on a window exe format.

CONTROLS!: READ THIS!

(You can edit the controls in the options menu to some alternatives)

Arrows: Move

Shift: Jump

Control: Shoot

\: Change Weapon

Space: Dash (you can also dash by pressing down and fire) (Dashing makes you invincible Dash through enemies, bosses and bullets!)

Press F2 will hard reset the game :)

You can change the controls to different types in the options menu.

Just to note, as this is a more relax jam, I did cheekily take the sound effects from Dynamite Headdy and Gunstar Heroes for the extra authentic feel :D

Hope you enjoy!

TIME FOR SLEEP!
