A downloadable game for Windows

Description

A shoot 'em up where you have to apply one upgrade after each wave of enemies. Each upgrade, however, also has a negative effect. You must sacrifice one stat to make another stronger.

This game was made in 2 days for Ludum Dare 43 where the theme was Sacrifices must be made.

How to play

  • Arrow keys to move
  • Hold Z to shoot
  • Destroy the enemies
  • Upgrade your ship
  • Survive the wave
  • alt+F4 exits the game

Known bugs and issues

  • Sometimes enemy projectiles don't collide with the player
  • There's nothing after wave 11 (but you're not really supposed to survive wave 11 anyway)
  • There's no main menu
  • The game exits immediately upon game-over
  • No clean way to exit the game, you have to use alt+F4

Credits

All music and sound effects (modified) from: ZapSplat

Everything else (well, apart from Unreal Engine 4) was made by me (ReiMari) during the jam.
