Gunka
CONTAINS SOME FLASHING LIGHTS!
Firefox users on Windows, it is highly recommended to use full screen to avoid mouse drift!
Gunka is an action game in Pico-8 that only utilizes the mouse movement. Smash the zombie army to bits and pieces and save as many cats as you can... or smash them to bits and pieces too!
HOW TO PLAY:
- Move around by moving your mouse. As you move around, you also move your flail. With enough velocity, you can swing your flail to strike down zombies and tombstones that sporadically appear and spawn even more zombies.
- You may also encounter cats at your adventure. Pick them up and earn some points. Or kill them, and lose a lot of them.
- As the game progresses, you may encounter more and more zombies and even stronger variants that require two hits. More cats too!
- You wanna get that high score? Be sure to keep that COMBO meter on! After 5 zombies, you'll enter a COMBO state where every slain zombie and collected cat will earn you many more points than they do regularly. The longer the combo, the more points you'll get. Killing cats will end your COMBO prematurely and lose you points, but sometimes that might be a best approach if your position is compromised.
- For the highest score possible, it can be wise not to slay every zombie and every tombstone the moment they appear. Tombstones spawn zombies that will make your COMBO last much longer so it's crucial to leave a couple of them around and destroy the ones that compromise your position. Plan your moves wisely and strike fiercely!
