WASD to move, click to attack. Escape to pause. Your gun uses letters from the word "nothing" as ammo. You start with the word "nothing" (which does nothing). When you run out of ammo, you automatically switch to your fists.
Punch zombies to make them drop letters. You can pick up the letters and they will go into your gun. If you are using your fists and pick up a letter, you automatically switch back to your gun.
Your gun does nothing unless you spell a word. The gun just farts out dust if there's no active word spelled out in your gun. You can use this to your advantage to discard unwanted letters, one click at a time.
Pick up letters in the correct order to spell out words. When your gun's letters are glowing red, you have spelled a valid word.
Spell a word to regain health and DESTROY your foes! Each word is its own powered-up weapon. Click to fire out a projectile that kills scores of enemies! Shorter words like "no" and "hot" are quick ways to replenish lost health, and long words like "thigh" are effective weapons against crowds. For example:
- `no` shoots a 'no' sign
- `it` summons Pennywise the clown
- `ting` does... some-ting :wink:
- `hot` creates flames
- `noon` acts as a revolver (6 shots)
- `noggin` is the ultimate victory!
This game was built from scratch, in one C file, starting with nothing. :)
