Less becomes more
You were asked to start working on a virus, for some rich folks.
Instead of making it in test tubes, you found out that by shooting the virus it duplicates it self. Try to get as many duplications as you can before the virus grabs a hold of you. The more duplications the better you've done your job.
Controls:
WASD = Movement
Left Mouse = Shooting
POWERUPS:
Lightning for Speed.
Heart for life back.
This is my first Game Jam and when I heard of the theme: Less is more. I couldn't think of something instantly.
My idea came to me when I saw a news article about the british Corona variant entering houses in the Netherlands as well. This gave me an idea. Since Virusses duplicate, it made me think of Less Becomes More.
Little adaptation to what the theme suggests. But I think it fits it nonetheless.

Updates:
Made it so the hearts go down to zero.
Made it so the player doesn't slide anymore.
Made it so that you will have some boosts on the map.
Made it so it doesn't say virus killed, but virus duplicated instead.

While I think "killed" viruses don't die doesn't make much sense, the gameplay is pretty good, interesting idea. There was a missing hit box on a wall, and the hearts don't go all the way to 0 on death. but very good nontheless. =)
Jeah you are kinda right. Didn't know the right word for it. Would've been better to see how many virusses are around as a score I think. Oof Hit box on a wall, probably made that wall on the wrong tilemap. Hearts issue I know, first time I ever implemented something like that, yet I do not know how to fix it yet :) Thanks for the feedback, this might help for my next games :)
I have now 57 confirmed kills on my record
Nice!
you schould make a health bar so its a littel more easyer
Gonna upload it with some refinements. Wanna try it again?
verry nice
This could use some refinement but is an interesting concept. There should be a mechanic that maybe the monsters decay? that way youre not overwhelemed?
Good idea! Thanks for the feedback:)
Didn't put the decay in, I tried that, but then it needs multiple levels. Now it keeps on going. I've added some one-use power ups on the map.
Changed some things, wanna check it out again? And maybe tell me what you think of it again?
its really hard to stay alive for very long but its fun, also i think the character is sometimes drifting to one side a bit
Fixed it didnt have the constraints on. So I will relaunch it in a bit.
Added some power ups and fixed the drifting, you wanna try again?
yea i could
