TEMPLE IS ACID (feat. Bees 🐝) by samboyer276
TEMPLE IS ACID is an arcade shooter/sting-em-up from ya bois samboyer276 and jsmailes. Navigate the depths of the temple to eradicate the acid threat!
Built in 2 days, by 2 rookie devs, in Godot 4.1:)

Story
One fateful day in October 2023, the Temple of Suspiciously Similar Rooms started leaking gallons of acid into the local water supply. As the only species acidic enough to survive the temple's atmosphere, a team of intrepid bees will put their life on the line to find and eliminiate the source of the acid. Only problem is, this temple has a lot of rooms.

Wait a sec, how does that align with the theme?!
You'll see:) (also a fixed-camera shooter game in a small temple room is somewhat limited space)
Featuring: - Bees - Endless room variations - Funky powerups (Attack up, Speed up, Speed burst, Invincibility Star) - Bees - 6+ enemy types - a Gen-Z's best approximation of Acid House music - Bees

Music is the best part of game, I shook my head at every bit!
Fun 10\10 :D
Made it to level 14 in the end. It sometimes felt impossible to dodge and I was almost always at minimum HB, quite the nail-biting and engaging experience overall!
I tested the Linux build, it works on my machine.
