Delving deep into the lair of the Alchemiser, you face off against hordes of bio-alchemical drones armed only with your Centri-Fusilade. Spin the chamber and cook up 6 unique alchemical tinctures to hurl at your foes, but be careful they're as dangerous to you as they are to your enemies!
Core mechanic: You have no control over what bullet comes out of your weapon, and thereby need to read the situation and position yourself carefully lest you bomb yourself into a pit of spikes .
You revolver reloads different bullet types in random order. After each bullet has been fired it will reveal what it was, letting you narrow down the next shot that might come out of the barrel. Used you Dash Bullet already? Now you don't have to worry about launching yourself forward, and can position accordingly.
Your six bullets are:
Petrification (instantly kills an enemy) Explosive (explodes) Dash (launches you forwards, damaging enemies) Implosion (pulls enemies and you into the explosion) Goo (slows things that walk into it) Prime Materia (killing an enemy heals the player)
Thanks for the tip, I have written a short game guide in the description. I would have updated sooner but had a hectic few days at work. Hopefully this will help people enjoy our little pixellated trash fire just a bit more!
There are three systems you need to keep running: the legs, arms, and main gun.
Each takes a unique type of fuel.
When you run out, you'll be able to see what fuel goes to which system by the sets of blinking white circles.
Use the cardinal direction keys to move Beepis around Bolthead's body. Tap in the direction of the system you want to interact with to pick up or deposit fuel types.
Beepis can only carry one type of fuel, but you can swap them by bumping into a different fuel source.
Every 5 uses of a directional key it will "burn out" as one of the fuses in Beepis' brain goes pop. When this happens, you will need to tap a new key to install a new fuse.
That new key will now act as the replacement for the old key, so choose your positioning wisely.
The remaining key "fuses" you haven't used are shown at the bottom of the screen.
Once you use all 25 letters, the entire system will reset.
Keep all of Bolthead's systems operational, and you'll be able to advance to the next level and rack up a new hiscore!
Solid concept, well executed. Love the design of the bots, and the title screen parallax is a nice touch. I feel like there should be a bit of a bonus for when a system goes haywire. It was pretty nice getting a faster firing rate but be unable to aim. Turned things into a puzzle game of offsets.
I played this entirely the wrong way at first and launched myself around using the recoil of the gun. Pretty solid concept; I'm super impressed by the use of 3D assets. Only gripe is the zoomed in camera makes it hard to navigate.
