Choose your loadout to fight through increasingly more difficult waves of bots! You can only bring one primary and secondary gun to each area, so choose carefully. Surviving through each unlocked area consecutively unlocks the next milestone. Good luck!

- 7 different guns to equip (4 unlocked at the start)
- 3 unique levels (1 unlocked at the start)
- 7 unlockable achievements
- Autosaving after each milestone
I solo developed this game as my senior thesis project. Built on Unreal Engine 5's Blueprint visual scripting language, the project took 4 months to complete and features all of my own pixel art, including animated sprites, tile sets, GUI, and a pixel font.
All sounds and music from zapsplat.com. Game graphics made using GNU Image Manipulation Program. In-game font created using BitFontMaker2.

love the game Ian! would love to chat about a collaboration if you;re down
Ok, after playing your game, I like it a lot! The graphics are great. I do wish that you could use the same gun for all three levels though. And the pistol is a nightmare for anyone with carpal tunnel. Additionally, sending the player to the boss after 3 levels without healing 'em is pretty metal. But overall, pretty solid!
Hey haha, thank you! You are right about the pistol; it is an accessibility issue I hadn't considered before. And my thought process about constraining the guns to individual levels was to encourage more meaningful decisions when equipping loadouts, and to shake up the gameplay from level to level with the different gun combinations, adding challenge. Though I will say that the guns could have had more interesting attributes that set them further apart to add more depth to that.
I appreciate the feedback!
Hey bro, I made an account just to post this. Your game looked really good at the presentation, and I can't wait to play it. 'Ery noice!
