It's short and hopefully fun. \r\n\r\nThe '5' in the title refers the number of levels and the fact that this is my 5th compo entry :)\r\n\r\n--CONTROLS---\r\n- Cursors to Move\r\n- Enter\/Space to Interact\/Shoot\r\n- M toggles the music.\r\n- F puts you into fullscreen then esc takes you out of it again. Which is annoying but browsers are basically annoying.\r\n- P toggles the post-processing shaders to improve performance on terrible GPUs\r\n---\r\n\r\n--Support--\r\n- HTML5 version Tested on Chrome and Firefox\r\n- HTML5 version Probably doesn't work on Microsoft Edge\r\n- 64bit Linux Version (untested)\r\n- 32bit Windows Version (tested)\r\n- 64bit OSX Version (untested)\r\n----------\r\n\r\n--TECH--\r\n- Made in Javascript using my own 'Hexr' WebGL game engine (uses Three.JS)\r\n- Level data made in my own 'Hexr' game editor\r\n- Pixel art done with Swanky Paint\r\n- Sound made with Propellerhead Reason\r\n- Binary distributions thanks to nw.js\r\n--------\r\n\r\n--UPDATES--\r\n- Fixed a few game breaking bugs: If you were sick while doing an action you'd get stuck doing that action. Monsters no longer sharing AI data. All players can now shoot monsters.\r\n- Added binary distributions\r\n- Added post-processing shader toggle\r\n- Fixed another game breaking bug where it would either freeze or stop you shooting the last monster on the first level. Sorry.\r\n-----------\r\n\r\nThank you for playing.","title":"Corruption-5"}
