Development and credits

This was my third game jam and also my third "complete" game. I developed the game using Godot 3.1 (the whole project and the code is very poorly made, I warn you), while I used Piskel and Gimp for the graphics.

I was quite reluctant about creating a (sort-of) top-down shooter, but the lack of other ideas made me decide to go for this before it was too late. It surely lacks some overall polishing, especially on the graphical side, and the rooms feel quite empty, but I'm satisfied by the final result given that it was done with such a restricted time.
I had quite some strange problem with the pathfinding behaviour of the enemies, but only in the last two rooms for some reason. I couldn't find any way to fix it nor the actual cause of the problem, that was probably the engine itself, but eventually I managed to create some sort of workaround.

  • The font used is Razor
  • The music was created using Beepbox
  • The sounds were created using sfxr or recorded

Version 1.1.2

  • Fixed enemies dying multiple times
  • Fixed berserk mode not going off after the first time

  • Fixed the Master's object spawning
  • Fixed the monster's spawning
