Rashness

RASHNESS is a boss battle game, where you will have to defeat only one enemy. Be ready though, he is tough and he won't go easy on you. Killing it with the basic attacks is hard and very long, so what you can do (and probably should!) is sacrifice some of your health in exchange of different interesting upgrades. It's up to you to find the way you like to play, or to find the most efficient powerups combination!

CONTROLS

Move with WASD / ZQSD (for French keyboards)

Fire with Mouse Left click

Dash with Space (if you choose the upgrade!)

The game is meant to be hard, so do not worry if you die many times before finding a good strategy, it is perfectly normal, and it is in part due to the fact that I made the game in 48 hours, so I didn't have much time to balance it! 

RASHNESS is my 4th participation to the Ludum Dare, but above all the first time I hit the compo submission. It was a really interesting experience, but I think I could have done a more complete game, maybe I was a bit too afraid of the short amount of time I had working alone. I'll keep that in mind for the next time if I go for a solo game jam again, but I think I'd rather work with a team!

POST-JAM UPDATE :

• Upgrades prices and values are more balanced

• Now it is not mandatory to spam the mouse button to shoot over time (spamming only allows to shoot faster)

• Added a bar above the player to show the dash ability cooldown

• The boss' trail that was displayed in front of him is now behind

• Boss bullets are now a bit slower, but he does attacks/movements at a little bit higher pace

• Duckpaw angle is now smaller, so that the ability can be useful by shooting far from the boss

• Fixed a visual issue causing the player bullets not being spawned on the right position

• Fixed a bug causing one of the tips that are displayed when losing not being correctly shown

• Changed some values about menu animation speed, sounds volumes, etc.
