Older than War by BetelgeuseMan
Apparently, I overestimated my capabilities and didn’t manage to do almost anything. In the end, I finally broke everything. And now, just as enemies cannot attack normally, the player’s control refuses to work normally (at least in compiled form ... in the editor, control seems to be quite good).
[UPD: I fix some bugs]
The plans were: A game where, after a defeat, you were asked to choose a card with a bonus in exchange for a few years of life, after which the level started anew, but you became weaker because you were older.
The game has no sound/music (I did not have time to do it).
Controls (Updated):
- WASD - Movement
- LMB - Shoot
- Q - Change weapon
- Mouse Wheel Scroll - Turn camera
- E - Interact (with truck at the level end)
Rules:
- At the beginning you have a pistol.
- You need to destroy the enemy squad and get to the enemy truck.
- After death, you can spend a few "years of life" to choose from and receive a skill card in return.
- Also, after aging (after death), your parameters will drop, except for one that you choose.
- When you run out all the years you lose the game.

Update from 29.04.2019:
- Fixed generation of skill cards (the choice was not from all possible cards)
- Fixed a bug with turns (the character could not turn during the shooting)
- Fixed a bug with terrible character management (it arose because of an extra camera, which I forgot to remove)
- Fixed bug with the fact that enemies sometimes stopped shooting
- Trucks were turned
- The camera was close to ignore the enemies before they notice the player.
- Added inscription about winning
- Fixed a bug when you could just get to the truck without killing anyone (now the level is difficult to pass but you can)
- Reassigned input keys
- Ported to Windows

It’s quite a fun game, although with some bugs, I got stuck in the terrain and fell outside the world a few times :D.
