It Hungers

Feed your Harbinger of the Apocalypse

You must deliver genetic sustenance and protect the ancient evil that will bring about death and ruin to the Galaxy. Shoot the enemies before they gun down the larva as it sequences their consumed genes, or deploy your energy shield to block incoming enemies.

Randomly created levels in a top-down arena shooter, three difficulty settings, and a swarm of enemies.

Controls

- Movement: WASD or Arrows
- Aim: Turns to mouse pointer
- Shoot: Left Click
- Shield: Right Click
- Objective: Pick up and deliver purple gene slices back to your larva (purple egg looking thing)

Give it a try and good luck!

My Notes

*New for me: Unity asynchronous scene management, events. The implementation of a difficulty slider was also new, and definitely makes a difference in the game.*

*Regretting no sound, and more visibility on gene helix would have been better.*

*My scene changing has some small issues, so if you happen to fall out of the world, sorry! And, a refresh should fix. Another minor issue, depending on resolution, if a button goes out of view when playing full screen, resizing will bring it back. (wasn't sure if this was a critical thing to fix post-compo submission)*
