Side scrolling 2.5D shooter.
Kill enemies and collect the Essence to improve your score. But the more essence you get, the more fierce your enemies become. The game is essentially endless, I planned to include some bosses but didn't manage to. The goal is to get as high score as possible.
Controls: WASD or arrows to move, SPACEBAR or Z to jump, LMB or X to fire. Or use Xinput gamepad (Xbox). ESCAPE to exit.
Known bugs/issues:
* Sometimes the character falls through the platform when not supposed to
* Grenades sometimes kill the character even during post-respawn invulnerability
* Sometimes the distance between ledges is too far to jump across. In this case jump as far as you can, hopefully the character will respawn on the other side
Post submission bug fixes:
* No longer fall through the platform when walking up to it from a side (in some cases)
* It is now possible to drop down from platforms when using a Gamepad or Arrows controls
* Sounds of explosions are now less deafening
