DESCRIPTION: An arcade top-down shooter where you can revive your previous life to have it join the fight.

DISCLAIMER: THIS GAME WAS SUBMITTED AS PART OF GJL Game Parade Spring 2022 WITH THE THEME OF "Every Life Counts." THE JAM TOOK PLACE OVER SEVEN DAYS. IT TOOK ME ALL SEVEN DAYS TO COMPLETE THIS GAME. THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL FOUR DAYS FOR BUG FIXING.

INSTRUCTIONS: Use WASD keys to move your green soldier(s) around. Press Space to a revive a downed (red) soldier. Aim with the mouse, click to shoot.

FEATURES: -Fun action gameplay.

- Unique death/revive system that dynamically changes difficulty.

-Retro-styled sound effects and simplistic and please and readable graphics.

-Some quirky text.

KNOWN ISSUES:  1. If you get hit in a certain way, there's a chance your corpse will go flying. I'll attempt to fix that. UPDATE: I believe this is fixed.

2. The difficulty/gameplay balance is off at the moment. It's too easy right now. Hoping to fix that as well. UDATE: This has been improved, but still not perfect.

3. There are times when values are added/removed multiple times (example: batteries). This is due to the "pick up battery" code, for example, being run for each player on screen. It doesn't negate the experience too heavily, but you're not crazy if the count is different than what you think it is.

4. This game's not that great, but it took me a week by myself. I hope you find some enjoyment in it anyway.

PLEASE PLAY, RATE, AND COMMENT!

THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL JAM PARTICIPANTS!
