Dr. Eccentric by A333

[raw]
made by A333 for LD32 (COMPO)
Aliens are invading the Earth... again. But this time they are capable of rapidly adapting, obtaining immunity to any convential weapons. The only way to defeat them is to keep changing.

Kill the aliens! But remember that your weapon efficiency will be dropping constantly. Collect new DNA samples and recombinate your weapon to improve its efficiency.

Controls:
WSAD,Space - movement.
You've got one double jump.
You can grab the walls by pressing the direction key towards them.
E - recombinate weapon (when samples meter is full).
LMB - fire.

Damage drop is capped at 1, so even if you feel your shots are doing nothing to the walky guys, just keep shooting or grab some quick dna from fliers and reset your gun.


DevNotes
===========
As always, failed at planning, this time badly. No sounds for you guys, sorry. Also, only three levels.

Made with MonoGame/FNA, Farseer physics engine, Visual Studio, Aseprite, Photoshop.

Very cool intro screns. Super funny. The actual game though felt a bit silly. Didn't really do the intro screens justice ...

Nice style, the gameplay was not as much fun as I would have hoped, despite the interesting concept.

Funny thing is that intro scenes were made like in 5 minutes.
Well, that's was bad priority management and planning from my side, I guess.

Cool concept. Felt a little floaty and everything seemed small, but it's a great core to build off of. I wasn't quite clear on why I needed to press E, it didn't seem like my weapons were becoming less useful.

Nice idea and interesting weapons. Somehow the jump and run part felt a bit weird (never seen a doctor climbing up walls).

Interesting concept. But it's true that I was expecting something more after a nice intro :)

Really fun game. Like the idea of changing weapons.

Very nice take on the theme. Kinda like the Borg in Star Trek.
It`s quite difficult and I like the AI of the enemys, also the wall-grabbing is a nice feature to have.
I was a little disappointed that you couldn`t carry your gun on to the next level, because it doesn`t feel like you`re making progress.

This was fun little platformer! too bad that you didn't have time to make sounds, but I also scoped my project somewhat wrong. it happens! :)
