• Loot some stuff to get stronger!

Gameplay

• The goal is to finish the 12 levels
• After each room completed (some will require to kill all the enemies, others to survive a certain amount of time, etc) you will be able to choose one reward among 3
• Rewards that afect the OVERDRIVE bar are permanent (=are kept after a game over)

Controls

• You can play with a Controller or with a Mouse/Keyboard
• With a Controller: RT to shoot, Right stick to aim, Left stick to move
• With a Mouse/Keyboard: Aim with the mouse, move with WASD, Left mouse click to shoot

Insights/Tutorial

•  When you shoot, the Overdrive gauge will rise. Each level (I, II, III, IV) grants a better score multiplier and bonuses (II = fire speed, III = fire rate, IV = fire damage). The goal is to stay in level IV at all time. Be careful however, if you max out your bar, you will take damage!
•  Permanent upgrades are kept between runs, other upgrades last only for the current run.
• Overdrive gauge can be found at the top of the screen or at the bottom of your ship.

• Stats are:
  • Fire 
    • Fire damage: Damages dealt by each bullet
    • Fire rate: How many bullets per second do you shot
    • Bounces: How many times your bullets can bounce on walls/enemies before being destroyed
    • Speed: How fast does your bullets move
  • Overdrive
    • Stability: The higher this value, the slower will the Overdrive gauge rise (aka, the longer you will be able to shoot)
    • [I] Cool Speed: The higher this value, the faster will the Overdrive gauge cool down (= you will wait less time for the gauge to cool)
    • [II] Fire Speed: The fire speed added when you are at least in Overdrive II
    • [III] Fire Rate: The fire rate added when you are at least in Overdrive III
    • [IV] Fire Damage: The fire damage added when you are at least in Overdrive IV (the last part of the Overdrive gauge)
    • Reroll: How many time can you reroll a reward card on the reward menu. This is the key to have better reward in for late game runs.
  • Ship
    • Life: Life of your ship
    • Speed: How fast does your ship move
    • Accuracy: How precise is your ship

Changelog

• 1.1 (October 5): Fix few breaking bugs UI related. I did not modify gameplay nor improve anything else.
  

Team

• I worked alone (well, with my cat). Everything you hear, see or play in the game have been made (in pain) in 72h.
• I streamed all the dev, you can find the replay on my twitch -and see the cat mentioned above!- ( https://www.twitch.tv/bastienre4 )

Thank you and I can't wait to hear what you think of the game :).
