Minimalism
Game mechanics
With only 8 directional movement and a single action button we achieved a deep gameplay experience:
Proximity damage multiplier: The closer you get, the harder you hit.
* Charge attack: Stop shooting to charge, shoot to unleash the an attack that cleans bullets in it's way.
* Parry: Press the shoot button right before getting hit to parry.
* Parry dash: After a successful parry, keep the shoot button pressed for a short invulnerability time and speed boost.
* Damage proration:* On hit, the player activates a shield that lowers the next hits damage.
Graphics
We created a visually pleasing look inspired by flat principles.
No HUD: We replaced the traditional HUD by other indicators such as screen shakes, sound effects, color effects. Now the player will be more focused on the fast paced action.
* Random generated backgrounds:* Every time the game starts a new background will be generated. All backgrounds are carefully designed with colors and shapes that will surprise the player senses every time.
