Refuse to Lose by ttftcuts
Enter the arena in Refuse to Lose, a deadly game show where points mean prizes, but smashing prizes means points! Take responsibility for your prizes.
Once all enemies on a screen are defeated, the barrier on the top wall will be removed and you can advance. A special secret awaits in room 5!
Make sure to play through to the end and listen to the announcer when time is up, it might not be over when you think it's over. It's only a few minutes long and it's worth it, honest.
Sound is important for this game, particularly the show host. There are subtitles when the audio files are able to load, but it's best played with sound proper. Make sure you can hear what's going on!
Controls
WASD/arrow keys - move character
Left mouse button - shoot

Made by a team of four, everything is our own except the shotgun sound, that one was sourced online.

Post-submission updates: - Fixed critical bug relating to capitalisation which prevented the second half of the game being accessible when uploaded. - Added alternate .ogg versions of all sounds for browsers which don't play mp3 web audio.

One thing that might be fun is the ability to choose what kind of gun to use, although that's not particularly necessary.
# I loved
- The Dart engine
- The gunplay
- The destroyable items
- The voicing
- The gameplay overall
# What could've been improved
- I've only been able to clean 82% of the blood/oil, I didn't find what was remaining
The way your game respects the theme is just LOVELY
Good work :)
The graphics are good but could use with some more animation and effects. The music felt a bit out of place, but I guess you were trying to give it a more playful twist, which worked pretty well together with the announcer.
Really well done!
I enjoyed the experience, but the best part was probably the audio. Good job with the narration and the music, they were both quite memorable!
Doesn't seem to work in Firefox, says please wait and just sits there, works in chrome, although framerate drops sometimes.
