Blundergaffe is a thrilling top-down shooter, with a twist. We wanted to pay tribute to the classics such as snakes, cannon fodder, and other shoot 'em up, so we included many core mechanics into the movement system. Our goal with Blundergaffe is simple. We want to give abstract and modern look of the game, while keeping classic gaming we all know and love - beneath the surface.\r\n\r\nStory:\r\n\r\nBlundergaffe consists of a small company of brave men in red coats (so brave that they do not need helmets) who travels into the darkness. These well trained soldiers have to face the onslaught of random blue-coat-wearing crippled soldiers. \r\n\r\nFuture Goals:\r\n\r\nAfter Ludumdare, we plan on continue working with Blundergaffe to continue polishing the game. We hope for better AI and more enemy variations as well as power ups. We love humor, and would love to see the game realised with a fun and quirky story to give the soldiers more personality. In addition to more content, we would love to add more visual variations between all sprites such as different clothings, helmets, and weapons. Finally, we want Blundergaffe to be as fun as possible for players of all ages. Children today must be reminded about great games that we loved in the past like Snake. Good times.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\nMovements\r\n\r\nLook Up\t\t:\tW \/ Arrow Up\r\nLook Down\t:\tS \/ Arrow Down\r\nLook Left\t:\tA  \/ Arrow Left\r\nLook Right\t:\tD  \/ Arrow Right\r\nMove Forward\t:\tShift (hold)\r\nAttack\t\t:\tSpace\r\n\r\nItems \/ Special Abilities\r\n\r\nCall Reinforcement\t\t:\t1 \/ Z\r\nCall Artillery\t\t\t:\t2 \/ X\r\nCall Detach Troop\t\t:\t3 \/ C\r\nSwap Leader\t\t\t:\t4 \/ V \/ Tab\r\n\r\nAdditional Keys\r\n\r\nToggle Sound Effects\t:\tN\r\nToggle Music\t\t:\tM\r\nSwap Rendering Mode\t:\tO\r\n\r\nUpdate:\r\nFixed Animation logic for both Red and Blue Troops\r\nFixed bug where you would get stuck on your own troops\r\nFixed bug for Drummer\/Flag carrier when switching lines after main line dies\r\nFixed bug where your troops will still spawn in after game has ended\r\nFixed drop rate for 'Call Troops Pickup'\r\nAdjusted Controls\r\n\r\n","title":"Blundergaffe"}
