Hey! If you're reading this, I suggest checking out this post (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/armed-descent/$70636) after you play!

Armed Descent is a game about the player who must descend as far beneath the evil headquarters as they can! However, there are hostile, armed robots who block their path. The player must use their trusty revolver to fend them off!

There's just one catch: Additional ammo you pick up along the way reduces your maximum health. How far down will you go?

Features:
- Weapon upgrades as you progress
- Graphics, sound effects, and programming all done by one single person
- Filing cabinets to blow up
- 12 levels (I wish I could've made more!)
- Chocolate bars
- Thanks to Ozzed for his music

Here's a full list of changes for each version:

Version 1.0.1:
- Fixed a bug where health was not displaying properly
- Fixed a bug where the player started the final level with only the bullets received in the previous level
- Fixed a bug where skipping the beginning scene with the sound effect playing would not stop the sound effect

Version 1.0.2:
- Added difficulty levels: easy and standard. Standard is the normal 72 hour experience unchanged, while easy is an easier version of the game
- Fixed a bug where mapping the reload key would have no effect (thanks @pcmxms for finding this)

The original game is still available to download if you wish!

(apologies for bad GIF quality)

Also, this is my first ever Ludum Dare!

NOTE: I STRONGLY recommend you download the Windows version as opposed to playing the HTML5 version as that version has underwent much more thorough testing. But, if you're lazy like me and would rather play it online instead of downloading some silly file and having it clutter your Downloads folder, then I completely understand, but just keep in mind there is a greater chance for unexpected behavior when playing the online version.
