This is a submission to the GameDev.tv Jam 2022.
It's a high action, top-down shooter game where you have to survive as long as possible to reach higher scores. As you stay up longer more diverse foes will emerge with different abilities.
At the start you can't move, attack or defend. Gain abilities by succumbing or surrendering to the enemies. In this game death is only the beginning for gaining new abilities and reaching higher scores!
There are 5 unique abilities. Can you find them all?
Controls:
Movement - WASD
Attack ability - Left mouse button
Defence ability - Right mouse button
Software used in development:
Unity 2021.3.1f
Visual Studio 2021
Bosca Ceoil
Paint.net

I'm blown away. This is a solid foundation for a unique roguelike (imagine forcing the player to decide between going further in their run or dying so they can start their next run with an advantage)! You gotta do something with it before someone else steals this idea!
gotta agree, the concept sounds really cool if executed well! :-)
Thank you all for the encouragement. I'll try to expand the concept a little more after the jam.
