Hope everyone enjoys it, we enjoyed making it. (And are about to enjoy sleeping)\r\n\r\nWe used the theme of 'You only have one' in this game by only giving the player one life as such, and only giving them one of each weapon. Once they lose the weapon they lose it forever.\r\n\r\nThe idea of the game is that weapons have 'health' (durability) instead of the player. Once you've lost your weapons you lose your one and only life.\r\n\r\nCredits:\r\n\r\nUs:\r\nCode, Me4502 (http:\/\/me4502.com)\r\nTextures and Maps, Jelfius\r\nTextures, Jkenw7 (http:\/\/jkenw7.deviantart.com)\r\n\r\nExternal Sources:\r\nBackground music by 'pheonton', from http:\/\/opengameart.org\/content\/rescue\r\nBoar death sound by 'VWolfdog' from http:\/\/opengameart.org\/content\/orc-dying-sound-effect\r\nCrossbow Shot sound by 'HolgiB' from http:\/\/opengameart.org\/content\/crossbow-sounds\r\nSword Stab sound by 'The Berklee College of Music' from http:\/\/opengameart.org\/content\/knife-sharpening-slice-1","title":"Drop Down"}
