Rooter Shooter is a game developed in two days for the Game Jam: "Global Game Jam", the theme of the jam was Roots.

My focus during the development of the game were among others were:

  • The "jump" mechanic that enables you to control an enemy
  • Scrolling for background and road, to give the illusion of an endless map
  • Added the sound effects for whenever you shoot

Description

The concept is that you are an alien plant that need blood to survive so you need to jump from host to host. There is bloodmeter (basically your HP) on the left. You lose blood as time passes or when enemies are touching you. To jump from host to host you throw a special bullet by right clicking (only one per host) so if you miss you are doomed. But before you are able to jump you need to make your host week by shooting them until the turn red (left click to shoot normal bullets). If you wanna win you need to kill 25 enemies and then your master will spawn on the map. You find him and touch him to win...
Hope you will enjoy this.
