Info


Made using C++/OpenGL/OpenAL with GLFW. The source code is available at the links below.

This was my very first game jam, so I didn't really know what to expect and how I should do things. In the end, I am quite happy with the result, even though I would have liked to polish the game some more. Especially the UI elements, which I made during the last ~1 hour, could use some (a lot of) polishing.

Also, some more balancing time could have been nice. The game is on the difficult side. Also, getting the exploding bullets is a bit to hard to actually be useful.

Post-deadline changes:


- Very small UI bugfix
- This description text
- Added some missing DLLs
