Jetpack Chaingun
A downloadable game
Charge at the enemy while firing non stop. Here, it's all or nothing.
How to play:
CLICK THE BAT, NOT THE EXE, THIS IS IMPORTANT
Mouse to aim, click to shoot.
WASD to move. WASD may not seem very powerfull at first, but they can be used in conjunction with your chaingun to utilize some of the more advanced movement options.
Sometimes, it's not so much about "joining" disjointed mechanics, but about finding new and interesting ways to connect them.
We've all seen games with a "shoot-to-move" mechanic, but they usually work by having the recoil on your weapons be SO STRONG, that the only usefull way to move around is by firing your weapon in the opposite direction.
But this has two issues:
1: You can't see where you're going
2: You are constantly retreating from the action.
Let's fix both of these issues, shall we?
How? By throwing the player head first into whatever they are trying to shoot, that's how.

Assets: Due to time constraints, a lot of Assets were taken from FreeDoom, a free asset library, very helpfull for people working on advanced Doom mods. Additional assets were made by TheRealCheesecurl.

Install instructions
In order to open the game:
1: Unzip the folder
2: Click the .bat file
There is no instalation needed. A lot of files are set to "hidden" in the folder. This is to avoid clutter, but feel free to switch them to "unhidden", if you prefer. Nothing will break upon doing that.
