30/10/2024 HELLFIRE: HOWL OR WEEP UPDATE, CHANGELOG:

• Added HARMODE, press 0 in the hub to activate it and have fun!
• Changed up the control scheme, a replay of the tutorial shall be neccesary for returning players
• Added a turn move
• Gave the flee button on the title screen functionality
• Added stage decorations
• Added missing sfx to the heart and key items
• Added a sound+visual indicator for when you've met your score goal
• Player can now complete a level early by pressing esc when they've met their score goal
• Grobble now has an animation for slowing down

Grobble was a prankster in his previous life, giving the local children and elderly magnificent frights! However in Hell, everyone is kinda use to that kinda business and don't react as insanely as those up above did. This dissapoints Grobble massively so he, and his servant Hex, go on journey to fight their way out of Hell and into Heaven. Afterall, everyone in Heaven must be some goody two shoes! They're reactions to this sort of evil should be AMAZING!!

Okay uh gameplay! The initial idea for this project was "what if I made Space Invaders an auto-run 2D platformer". I've never actually played Space Invaders but I know the main premise is just "shoot some guys". So in this game you must run around and kill as many enemies as possible. Killing enemies increases your score and you need a certain amount of points to complete each level. As for the moveset, you can jump and shoot (obviously) but you also get this double jump/boost move aswell as the ability to slow down for extra accuracy in your shooting. Oh and as I said before, you DON'T stop moving, ahahahahaaaa!!!

This project started sometime in January as a side-project and was mostly developed in my old school's library.
