Low Voltage

This is a top down shooter game made for Ludum Dare 39.
The theme for this event is 'Running Out of Power'.

The Premise

You are a space marine who was shot down to Earth and must now scavenge for supplies to survive in a zombie ridden, suspiciously dark, world.

Controls

WASD to move, E to shoot a flare, Esc or P to pause, and Del to restart the level.

Notes

We were originally going to make multiple grenades but we only got around to making the flare.
There are hitbox errors although we could not fix those in time.
The game is very difficult and requires lots of resource management and memorizing enemy spawns because our lead programmer wanted to make this game almost impossible to win.

We haven't even seen the credits by playing through ourselves.

Credits

- Jacob Jensen: Programmer
- Gordon Gao: Tileset Artist
- Ian Wang: Spritesheet Artist
- William Wang: Sound Design
- Cole Watson: Voice Actor

I don't know if you can still change it, but the game is submitted as Compo, even though rules state that multi person projects should be submitted as Jam entry.
