Please Note: This game originated as an experimental project and was never intended to be a fully polished product. As a result, the codebase is quite rushed and may lack optimal structure or comments. It served primarily as a creative and learning exercise, and as an occasion to test some tools and have fun with friends.
Re-Think is a challenging, rogue-like 2D arcade shooter where survival is key. Navigate your square within a confined arena, dodging relentless enemy fire and eliminating diverse foes.
- Limited Arena: Both the player and enemies are restricted to a specific play area, demanding precise movement and spatial awareness.
- Diverse Enemies: Face a variety of enemies with different characteristics:
- Movement: Ranging from slow to fast.
- Shooting: Bullets vary in range, spread, size, and speed. Enemies may fire single shots or rapid bursts.
- Behavior: Some enemies teleport randomly (but never directly onto the player), while others specialize in attacking from specific ranges (close-up or distant).
- Increasing Difficulty: The challenge ramps up continuously as your score increases – enemies become tougher and more numerous.
- Health System: You start with three hearts. Each hit costs one heart. Survive for a period without taking damage to regenerate a lost heart.
- Power-Ups: Grab temporary power-ups to gain an advantage:
- Slow-Mo: Slows down time, making dodging easier.
- Shield: Provides temporary protection from enemy bullets.
- Invincibility: Makes you immune to damage for a short duration.
- Life: Instantly grants an extra heart (up to the maximum).
- Hack: Disables enemy bullets and shooting.
- Retro Aesthetics: Simple geometric shapes and a vibrant color palette create a distinct arcade feel.
- Movement: Use the
WASDkeys to move your player square.W: Move UpA: Move LeftS: Move DownD: Move Right
- Objective: Survive as long as possible and gain achivements.
