Breed the ultimate gun and struggle survive on a harsh planet!

Guns!

Have you ever wanted your shotgun and your bazooka to procreate? Do you fantacize about your sniper and your machine gun gettin down and durty? In Wyrdgun not only is this a reality... its a necessity.

Every gun has 16 mutatable stats and can gain 32 additional special stats through breeding that greatly change the gun!

Aliens!

Kill loads of freaks!

Heaps of em!

Planet!

Fight on an open world, procedurally generated, fully destructible, desert planet!

Mutations!

Gain wings, grappling webs, invisibility, and more.

Mutations are the progression system of Wyrdgun and persist across runs!

Perks!

Wyrdgun has a modular perk system. Each perk contains a trigger and an effect. For example: hp is low => slow time, on kill => create a nova, or on dig => + digspeed!

There are 28 triggers and 45 effects to choose from!

Performance Update

Rerolls have been added to level up screen! Every level you gain half a reroll per wyrdness level. Rerolls are also gained from skipping.

Graphics setting is added to options!
Enemies have a combined bullet cap of 30. If the current bullet count is close to cap enemies will combine all their pellets into one large bullet.
Lizard fire rate is decreased and damage is increased.
Removed lots of unnecessary polys on enemy models!
Bullet lifetime gets shorter the closer they are to bullet cap.
Bullets will stop splitting when close to bullet cap.
If a perk has over 5 triggers queued up it will cast the perk at 5x power for the cost of 5 triggers
Enemy corpses are destroyed after reaching negative max hp.
Worms move quicker!
Slo-mo is activated when frames get very low to reduce frequency of costly operations.
Lots of bug fixes!

Thanks for the bug reports and suggestions!

Breeding Rework

Breeding changes

Gun breeding now has more strategy than just piling every stat on a gun!
Mutation chance has been removed and replaced with mutation capacity.
A mutation is an allocation into a stat.
A guns mutation capacity will be: the average of its parents capacity + (3 to 8).
When a gun is born it will adjust its mutations to fit its mutation capacity. The mutations from both parents are added together. If the mutations are still less than capacity then it will randomly draft mutations till it reaches capacity. If the mutations exceed the capacity then it will randomly remove mutations till it fits.
The strategy now is to breed similar guns with desired mutations together. But not too much because one stat can flush out the others.

Other things

12 backpack slots!
Added small breaks to 5 minute marks to give a breather
Recoil is more violent but recovers faster
Impact effects are juicier
Sounds that repeat often have been given small variations
UI tweaks
