Development has been chugging along smoothly. I've been hard at work creating unconventional weapons that I think will add to the game quite nicely and give players the option to try out more varied play-styles.
First up, Boomerang!
The Boomerang is powerful but can be quite tricky to use. Only throw the Boomerang at the right moment or you'll find yourself defenceless without a weapon on hand. To compensate for its vulnerabilities, the Boomerang will destroy any enemy projectile it touches.
Void-gun.
The Void-gun shoots dense energy balls that detonate into a blackhole-like force-field upon reloading the gun. The energy ball will also detonate when it touches solid walls. Be careful though, while you will not be affected by the force-field you can be hurt by the final blast.
Wheel-blade.
It might have a rather short range, but it absolutely cuts through any enemy it touches. Holding the fire-button will extend the Wheel-blade's reach and increase its spinning speed.
Laser-beam.
Ammo automatically replenishes when you're not firing. But if you ever hit Zero it'll overheat and take longer to recharge, so be careful and show some restrain!
P.S.
I've been having second thoughts about the name of the game. My reasons for naming this game 99999 were:
- It's easy to remember.
- 99999 gives off a sense of being a high-score, which I think works well because getting a better high-score is a core focus of the game.
The cons:
- It seems a little bland and uninspired. It lacks...character?
- It is very difficult to find the game on certain places like Youtube, where videos of other games with high-scores frequently have 99999 in their titles.
Should I change the name of the game? Let me know what you think. ( I'd seriously appreciate it)
