Here’s the concept: Normally your firing rate is low (once per .75 seconds, to be exact). You can use right click to switch to a super-powered form (highlighting the player in green), which shoots at incredible speed! But, of course there’s a catch: bullets fired in super form leach off of your health. This combination of mechanics leads to some interesting strategic decisions.

Next up: enemy waves, game over screen, and non-placeholder sprites.
