This was the second GM(48) game jam I had participated in 2014. GM48 is a game jam that happens every season (3 months) where the goal is to create a game using GameMaker Studio in 48 hours. The theme for this game jam was ‘Guns That Don’t Shoot Bullets’. I created a game called Arena Hunter.
Arena Hunter is a survival game where the goal is to survive for as long as possible. This is done by shooting at enemies to freeze them. Once they are frozen they can be attacked and be killed. You have limited ammo so use it wisely. Ammo appears randomly on the ground but pick it up before it is destroyed.
The story so far is that Ice Warrior (player) has crash landed on Kepler-78b, an ancient lava planet. His fate is inevitable, but he will not go down without a fight. Using his trusty SwordGun, he has to freeze the lava enemies by shooting Freeze Projectiles. When the enemy is frozen they are vulnerable for a period of time to be attacked and killed.
Arena Hunter is also my game for April 2014 for One Game A Month. Four games I have made in the past four months. I am on a good roll now, lets see if I can keep this pace up for the rest of the year.
