Hunt skeletons in search for your boat and the oars so you can leave the island!
Watch out for the poisonous gas the evil skeletons and bats are leaving behind!
* WASD to move around
* Mouse-wheel or 1-3 to change weapon
* Aim with the mouse.
* Space or mouse button to shoot.
* Survive long enough to find the boat, the oars and escape :) The skeletons will drop both items
* Make sure that the poisonous gas doesn't cover the whole island. You wouldn't like to run out of space would you? ;)
You can stay in the poisonous gas but you will get hurt. If you reach "99" you will loose a heart from your health.
The pickups will refill your ammo and also your health and hurt bar.

We left the comfort zone and used Unity this time instead of the usual Java and LibGDX. Both good and bad experiences... :)

Learning Unity.. And that crazy idea late Sunday afternoon: - Lets design an island.. - No don't bother paint it.. we will create random islands with code!
The 19 crashes and four restarts of Unity..
Couldn't find an easy way to feed fonts into the UI so I wrote a little (very limited) font renderer (which on the other hand was fun).
The theme... Tricky but we managed to do something touching the theme at least

Enjoy random generated islands. Yes you will get a new one every time you play!
