Minimalism

Game mechanics

With only 8 directional movement and a a single action button we achieved a deep gameplay experience:

• Proximity damage multiplier: The closer you get, the harder you hit.
  
• Charge attack: Stop shooting to charge, shoot to unleash the an attack that cleans bullets in it's way.
  
• Parry: Press the shoot button right before getting hit to parry.
  
• Parry dash: After a successful parry, keep the shoot button pressed for a short invulnerability time and speed boost.
  
• Damage proration: On hit, the player activates a shield that lowers the next hits damage.

Graphics

We created a visually pleasing look inspired by flat principles.

• No HUD: We replaced the traditional HUD by other indicators such as screen shakes, sound effects, color effects. Now the player will be more focused on the fast peaced action.
  
• Random generated backgrounds: Every time the game starts a new background will be generated. All backgrounds are carefully designed with colors and shapes that will surprise the player senses every time.
