The Story

In this LD entry, the team that brought you Haighper Lewp continues the the HL Labs saga with a new character: Oliver, the Martinian. They've been given the HL Blaster TM to try to clear the horde of enemies threatening the HL labs. A fun little quirk of the HL Blaster: you never know what you're gonna get. It could be a Nebula Pulsar that shoots a powerful purple quasar or it could be a simple water gun. (Now that we think about it, the invaders seem to draw their strength from the water. Maybe it's best to not shoot them with that...)

Controls

  • Up Arrow / W / Space = Jump
  • Mouse = Aim
  • Left Click = Shoot (You have to keep clicking - press to hold didn't work in the initial release of the game)

Nice game! Good mix of random guns and baddies. I do think the jump is a bit slow/floaty to be very useful for dodging runners. There might be some memory de-allocation that needs to happen too - I got a fair ways on one run and it started lagging. Great work though!
