Deathslayer

To make a long story even longer...

I began working on this demo about a year ago and never developed it fully so I thought I'd release the work in progress; I do plan to develop this further in the coming weeks. I didn't realize that this game was in a semi-enjoyable (but unfinished state).

I am woefully behind on my credit notes for this project and will create a comprehensive list of assets used in this project soon.

Controls:

WASD - Directional

CTRL - Throw pike

Left Arrow Key - Use subweapon

Up Arrow Key - Backflip and Pike Throw

Down Arrow Key - Kicks :3

E - Interact (you will receive an on-screen prompt when in range)

Testing Controls:

F1 Toggles testing mode which displays information about the game and entity states (mostly useless for non-dev purposes, but it does allow cheating in some circumstances)

F7 Restarts the current map (mostly obsolete and may result in weird behavior currently)

F9 Restarts the entire game (this option is mostly safe)

ESC Exits the game

DEL A killswitch for the player

Currently there are a few power-ups and upgrades in the game: you can increase the power of the pike, its penetration (blow-through), and fire rate.

There are three subweapons available to find: the Storm Axe, Alchemist's Fire, and a dagger.

The drop rates are abysmal I know; I will correct these issues in future updates.

Note: Most of the game is empty; there is a (mostly) complete dungeon, with a few dead ends and empty passage ways, some secrets, and even a mini boss, which is located in the first mausoleum; head to the right from the entry screen and enter the first mausoleum door you come across. The rest of the mausoleums are not linked to any playable levels at this time.
