Ward 52: Bullet Hell by Mithreindeir

[raw]
made by Mithreindeir for LD35 (COMPO)
A bullet hell top down shooter about Ward 52, a genetic experiment ward of a prison. You can shapeshift into a bullet, and must escape and exact your revenge for their crimes against humanity. You die if they shoot you as a person, and you turn back human if they shoot you as a bullet or if you run into something. Kill all the guards and move on to the next level, (only two levels but they are very hard).

Controls:
WASD to move character, and mouse press to shapeshift, then mouse to direct bullet. Use space to make bullet go into turbo mode.

Hi my name is Mithreindeir.
I wish I was better at art, I think I could make this game look cool.
This is only my second Ludum Dare, and only my second openGL project. I screwed up and didn't add continuous collision detection, so I had to make the walls very thick, and you can still go threw them on lag spikes.

Haha. I do love the concept of this game. But I need to play it before rating. And the windows link seems broken.

It is a pretty good game, I liked the graphics. Overall good but the AI could have used a little work. I liked the mechanic, turning into a bullet.

Really cool idea but man does it get brutal fast. If you're slightly off time with the guards firing rate you get killed almost instantly. Still it could be great with a little more.

Very challenging game! Didn't use WASD much but flying around as a bullet was cool.

Good game, I like everything about it. My only complaint is that it is a little too difficult.

I see you were hoping for the "You are the weapon theme" ;)

Overall nice game, although a bit frustrating at times because it's too easy being hit in bullet form. Only made it to stage two once. I like the concept though.

Very innovative. One of the better games I played here.

So it seems that when I die I get sent back to the start of the first level. No bueno.
The music's kind of meh, the gameplay's just kind of throw yourself at the guard and hope for the best. Seems like a solid idea but the time constraint really shot you in the foot for this one.
