Fight enemies, you can win if you fight enough! But the game is pretty dry.

Start the game with [ SPACEBAR ]

Controls:

At the beginning of the game there is a moment to lay traps, [ SCROLL ] to select a trap to place with [ RIGHT CLICK ].

Shoot them via aiming with the mouse with left click. - WASD / ARROWS = Movement - M = Mute all audio - SPACE = Starts the game / PICKS UP WEAPONS - AIM WITH MOUSE - PLACE TRAPS WITH LEFT CLICK - SHOOT WITH RIGHT CLICK

There are three traps: - Slowdowns (I think they speed the enemies up at the moment? - Spikes - Inflict constant damage to enemies - Bombs - Explode on contact with enemies.

Requires Java to run.

At first I was a little bit confused, but I think I figured it out. The art was decent, and I liked the gunshot sounds. I sort of felt like the placement of traps didn't matter as much as just shooting well. That said, it's a cool idea.

The game is pretty fun! Also, the announcer saying "Game Over" was very Halo-ish. ;) However, I would have liked the gun to make the enemies disappear instead of freeze in place, since at first I didn't notice that the gun was doing anything to the enemies. The game would also sometimes freeze when I died instead of causing a "game over" screen to appear. But all in all this is a pretty good game!

The idea is good, nice variety of traps.
I would prefer to plan the position of the traps and have a limit of them, rather than have an unlimited amount but a short time to plant them. Also the bullet collision was a bit buggy.

Great sounds and art but yeah the collisions were a bit funky.
