Last Man Standing [Project 2021-6]

A gangster armed with a magic gun and an unlikely ally has to take revenge on a cult leader. Shoot through walls, chain together kills, and take back your city!

*Made for the AI in Games Jam 2021.*

Please  Note:

You need to collect 4 coins each time you want to fire the gun.

Update (5/15/24):

• Added toggle Fullscreen
• Edited game properties to make sure vsync doesn't cause the game to run extremely fast
• Fixed bug where main menu and intro could be active at same time

Update (7/8/21):

• Machine Gun enemies have been nerfed.
• Spelling of 'Zeus' is now consistent throughout the game.
• All cutscenes after the tutorial are now skippable.

Theme:

For "Break the rules", the main weapon the player has can shoot through walls, automatically targets enemies and chains together kills, breaking most conventional rules of top down shooters. But to use this overpower weapon, you have to collect $100.00 (4 coins) to fire. 

What is Project 2021?

Controls:

• WASD / Arrow Keys to move
• Click to shoot
• Space Bar to Interact with Objects

The Magic Gun:

• Need to collect $100.00 worth of coins to fire.
• Every enemy you kill with it restores 10% HP and can bring you up to 200% HP.
• Makes you temporarily invincible after shooting for half a second.

Tips:

• Chaining together large groups of enemies is an effective use of ammo
• Do not let yourself get trapped in a corner unless you have a way out.
• You are invincible while the bullet is traveling and for 1/2 a second afterwards. Might be a good use to get out of sticky situations.
• Enemies will chase after you, hording them into a group will keep them more manageable then if they surround you.
