Become The Weapon


Discord / Game Design Document


Important Note

The shops (glass tables next to the elevator) are intractable and have cool skins/perks waiting for you :)


Overview

Become The Weapon is a co-op roguelike run & gun where you shoot enemies and collect coins to upgrade your weapon. It was created for the Pirate Software Game Jam 16 following the theme You Are The Weapon.


Controls

Use either QWERTY keyboard + mouse or joystick (Xbox, Playstation). Follow in-game tutorial for buttons to click.

Note: There is a known issue in Godot of controller triggers not working on web. Use the bumpers instead. Sorry about that :(

The directions are easy to follow and nice gameplay loop. Appreciated the art style as well. There was one issue when maybe I accidently held the mouse too long and upon release it didn't stop shooting and I couldn't move. Only problem I had though. Otherwise great entry and really fun game.

i encountered something similar when playtesting, couldn't pinpoint the issue exactly. Thanks for bringing it up though and thanks for playing :)!

Maybe the real weapon was the friends we made along the way.

But for real neat game! I like the art!

It's not about the destination, it's the number of enemies you shoot on the way :P

Thanks for playing!

I really feel like a  gun now.

I am gun, gun is I ðŸ”«

This is really simple and fun. I love the tutorial part. kinda cool you can play with friends! Good job! Also omg the shooting sfx sending me back to the good old days of shooting games XD

I wouldn't be surprised if somehow the SFX was really inspired by a COD game. I can definitely picture this as the MW2 deagle sound now that you bring it up LOL.

Glad you enjoyed despite being in a whole other league with your game :P

Cool game, didn't play a lot but tried to be the weapon for a round.

I really like the tutorial at the beginning, trying out the controls a bit.
Didn't play it with others but was invested anyway not getting hit and trying to hit  the enemies. 

The art style is simple an nice and it works very well. Would try it with other friends if I got the chance :)

Wish we had put a bit more time for single players with a bit less time... Thanks for having a go at it eitherway!
