The new game jam made me make my next game
which as decided here was to be a top-down shooter
so Lazer Larry was born!
Currently there isn’t much because i started it yesterday but its looking good
What is in the game so far
5 guns
4 robots
4 lvls
and a tutorial
Game link:
if you encounter any bugs tell me!
also if you have any ideas about what should be added next please tell me im already running out of gun ideas
So made this topic 4 days ago right before the weekend so i got a lot done and 0.3 is ready already ready
8 guns
7 Robots
6 lvls
if you want to use the hat rack Press A
Hats we have
bandana
Tophat
cowboy
Hair
Also if you want a hat
Game Link
If you do want a hat please tell me what type or make your own hat and send 4 sprites
One for
Up
Down
Left
Right
Good game but I really do think it could be improved by making the player go a bit slower. Also the controls felt a bit clunky and they can’t work on every device.
I want a little blast box that sits on your head (Its kind of a hat)
nice game but aiming is bad
I agree with the moving slower part and for the weird controls I’m going to make it 2 player soon which will fix that indirectly
YOU FOOL IT WAS FOR THE CURSED GAME JAM ALL ALONG!!!
Fr tho? i kinda liked the aiming to enter the Dungeon lite
Now that the game jam version is done I’m going to be reworking the game into a Roguelike Dungeon Crawler
Similar to Hades/Enter the Gungeon/Risk of Rain(2)
Double A
+20 Max energy
Mirror Ammo
Bullets Bounce
Overheating Battery
The lower your Energy is the more dmg you do
Magnifying glass
Extra Dmg
Extra Barrel
Shot 1 extra bullet
-20 accuracy
This is a Unplaned idea I’m not sure if i will implement it however i want to get opinions on it
Classes would Change how you play either slightly or greatly
Example 1
+2 dmg
+60 Max energy
-20 movespeed
Example 2
Scraping robots gives 20 energy
-120 Max energy
energy drains constantly
you start with a OverHeating Battery
@richard i just finished watching your stream and saw the part about lazer Larry
Thank you so much for playing
I did have plans to make it more cursed but I didn’t have time
also there are 11 total lvls so it hurt me when I saw the enemy got stuck I died inside
I’m not sure why the “shooty” enemy got stuck in the wall I made something that fixed air raids
(the circle enemy caused that)
the mythical shotgun can be found in any crate its just a whole lot rarer
Ps: there are 8 weapons on the jam version and the shotgun only scrapes the top of the goodies
(also ADM is shortened for Admiral)
New wall sprites! courtesy of @Kadeo
More item ideas
Thermal coolant
gain 5 energy a second but +100 Fire rate (its in ms)
Magic lasers Bullets fly in the direction you are looking
-40 Lazer speed +3000 Lazer Life(ms) +3 dmg
Redirection
+40 lazer speed 2/bullet life
after half of a bullet life it redirects to the closest enemy
Extra shield battery
+1 Hp
Beeg Barrel
2x Dmg bullets are twice as big 1.5x energy cost (rounded)
Unlocked Trigger
-50(ms) fire rate
Fresh guns
picking up a new gun gives +1 dmg -10 fire rate
Drill Lazer start Beeg but loose dmg and size over time
-100 Fire rate 3x Dmg
yet another example of pink being a worthless color in the palette
Items Bosses and the randomized rooms are all added im going to make some touchups but then
Lazer Larry Rouge is ready to be played!
Press B to swap weapons
8 items
8 guns
2 subpar songs
not hat rack
2 bosses
( i pray for you that you dont get mike mechson and you get the tank)
the blue orbs give you energy
every weapon requres energy (other then the pistol)
I absolutely ADORE this game! The charm and power this game has is amazing! The music tracks are awesome! The only recommendation is to make natural mana regeneration, because like what normally happens, you can run out and completely lose your way to attack.
Yea i agree you kinda always have to run a pistol
ill change it in the next update
I plan on reworking how items well. . . work
you scale way to fast so I’m going to make all items now scale off the weapons base stats
so a sniper would get a better dmg mod than a minigun (laser pointer)
Also, I’ll be adding a second area and a hub world so you can change your hat and do other stuff
and finally making bigger rooms For later areas
i feel like the 8 weapons we have are good
but the items need changing
Love the music! Also the way your gun rotates with you is really good attention to detail and I don’t think I’ve seen it before on makecode! Very cool
sadly when facing Left, the gun is upside down
i can fix it by deleting the sprite then remaking it on the other side flipped but (in my opinion) that feels like something that doesn’t need to be done at the moment
