Complexity Beam by minnouu

[raw]
made by minnouu for LD36 (COMPO)
A normal girl has wandered into an ancient ruin, filled with dangerous lost technology... and has tripped the alarm! Now she must defend herself against the security system with a stationary laser turret she found. Hopefully she can figure out how these randomly generated controls work....

This game came out of an idea I had to see if I could randomly generate a "skill rotation" like you'd see in an MMO. In the end it became a really different game, but in the end I'm pretty happy with what I was able to make.

Interesting mechanic! Surprisingly challenging as well, and like it's namesake, gets complex at times. Nice job.

An anime girl shooting giant laser with high APM? Cool idea and fun mechanic.The music made me feel like playing a rhythm game. :D

This was really nice! It's challenging and fun! The graphics seemed a little bit grainy at times, but besides that, great job!

:'( Game looks very interesting, but crashes on pressing "play" button. (I have Windows7 64bit) I tried different compatibility mods.. unlucky.

This game has a quite new mechanics.

But I felt that the cooldown is kinda too long that it's basically impossible to hold enemies for long after a while.
Or maybe I'm playing in a wrong way?

@Linver
It also wasn't working on my work computer, and I finally got around to looking into it. I manage to fix it by updating Monogame. Not sure if it will also fix it for you, but here's the link to the fixed version:

@ Everyone else, thank you so much for playing the game. I hope to upload it to itch.io soon!
