Heavy Machine Bun

Game info: 

This is an infinite top-down shooter arcade game where you can only shoot and dash.  This game was made by 4 people as a submission for Touhou Station Jam 2021 within under a week's deadline.

Controls: 

• left click to shoot
• right click to dash, you are invincible the first half of the dash but not the second half
• Press R to restart if something is wrong
• Press esc to quit the game

Rules and Mechanics:

• You will switch weapons every 10 seconds depending on which side of the arena you are at, switch side to "transfer department" of weapon manufacturer to get desired weapon.
• Upcoming weapons are previewed, as well as bonuses that come with it.
• Staying on one consistent side every time the timer hits zero earns you favors towards that side.
• The more favors you have, the higher your score multiplier.
• Switching sides will grant you health, but will also reset your current Multiplier and Favor Gauge.
• Overhealing at Max HP gives you a HP part, collect 2 to gain a Max HP (up to 9)
• Enemies spawn endlessly and keep getting harder, defeat them and don't get hit.
• Survive, aim for a high score and good luck.
• Normal movement? haha, who needs that!

• New weapons:

  • Spray & pray: high fire rate weapon with a wide firing radius, good AOE weapon but quite inaccurate
  • Shockwave: a shotgun that shoots 360 around the player, can also clear surrounding bullets, no recoil, can be used defensively
  • Morning star: surround yourself with drills, makes you defensive against to melee enemies but not enemy bullets, no recoil, more of a defensive weapon
  • Bouncer: a revolver that shoots bouncing bullets, bounces 3 times, piercing, it is surprisingly easy to land trick shots without doing so
