Thanks for taking the time to check out our game!
*"Retroviral"* aims to combine 2 incompatible genres in a fun and silly way by merging golf with none other than a hyperactive first person shooter!
Dilly-dally your way through the obstacle courses whilst trying to score that glorious hole in one, but watch your back for mobs!
Controls were kept standard and intuitive;
WASD & mouse-look will move your character around, whilst left click allows you to shoot enemies that appear on the course.
Tired of your starter weapon? Nr. keys 1-5 will cylce through your weapons for a more favorable one... "IF" you have it unlocked through gameplay that is!
But how does one golf?! Simple! Walk up to the ball and right click, it'll bring up a course overview that'll let you aim your shot.
Once you've got the arrow all nicely lined up and are ready to take a swing, left click to charge and release to smack the ball away as desired!!
Uh oh! Did something go wrong in this perfect release build? No worries! Pressing "R" will reset the ball for you, and backspace will do the same for the entire level.
Putting the ball will earn you "Qbits", our in-game currency that'll allow you to purchase some new weaponry at the shop in-between levels.
Have fun!
For the Lore hounds:
>It's the year 2080.
>After many exhilarating years of eating Doritos and masturbating... Oh, and also some R&D in quantum computing technology, humanity finally put in the least bit of effort to create the world's first Quantum Computer, named: "The Tesseract"!
Upon completion it seemed a miserable failure, as it didn't increase the FPS count of poorly optimized alpha games like everybody thought it would.
>In a burst of new hope though, the mainstream realized the true potential of this marvelous machine... Instantly navigating huge databases of pornography whilst doubling as a golf ball!
>The world seemed like a better place, at least for a while... In the shadows lurked a sect of pure evil, calling themselves: "The Cult of Pai"
In a desperate attempt to neutralize the Tesseract, the cult designed viruses to attack and penetrate at full force!
>Beaten off and scared, humanity turns to you, THE Bobby Smith!
Trained by Grandmaster Larry Wall in the ways of the Perl, and a lifetime dedicated to illogical thinking, you're the only one that lacks enough sense to assault the Cult of Pai into submission.
Armed with nothing more than a mustache, mullet, sunglasses, oh... And 60 metric tons of firepower, Bobbie plugged his Prince Albert into the Tesseract and began the upload.
>Whilst dissipating into the mainframe, Bobbie looked over and reminded the world he came here to do only 2 things: Play a relaxing game of golf whilst hyperactively shooting shizzle up! And he's all out of shizzle...
