Into the Fray

New WIP

Going to be a game where you exclusively fight bosses. Every level will have a theme and a boss.

"New Game" let's you choose a boss you want to face, Megaman style. Instead of new weapons, every boss will give you a new minigame when beaten.

"Boss Rush" will have you racing against the clock to beat all of the bosses consecutively as fast as possible.

Some bosses & minigames I'll be adding soon:

- Giant Worm -> Legion -> Fight against waves of kamikaze test dummies for a highscore!

- Giant Bat -> Darkness Mode - Boss rush, except in the dark with a very limited range of vision.

- Robot -> I don't know yet

There really isn't much there right now. Just the movement, textbox system, tutorial, and menu systems are done. You cannot be hurt. Also: "Level 1" is just a place holder.

Note: This game was designed to be played full screen.

Edit:

Poll - How should the health system be set up?

a) Set # of lives per level, once used up restart level

b) Restart level upon death

I'm probably going to go with B but I just want to see what others think.

Lovin the concept, downloading nao. I'll comment again with my thoughts later.

I like the jetpack and its feeling a lot. Good boss attacks are really going to make or break this game, and since there aren't any bosses made yet, I have nothing really to comment on. ;)

So yeah. Really looking forward to this.

Just as a note, once I make some progress on this game and you start to play it more, you will realize that the shotgun becomes more of a defensive weapon than an offensive one.

I like the concept. You may proceed.

He means literally, not derogatorily.

Not that original concept-wise, but I'm just saying that for the sake of saying that :p
