The Unstable gun by Sheol

About
Weird squids have invaded the lab! It is up to you - wielder of the unstable gun to stop the menace! Collect the weapon nodes to unlock the full potential of your gun!

(I may have bitten off a bit more than I can chew by solo-ing this but oh well!)
How to play
Click to shoot, WASD to move! Collect all 3 weapon nodes!
(if you press 'G' you can see the tiles glitch haha)
If the screenshake is a bit too much, you can press 'M' to randomise the bullets for lesser shake :x

@yokin Thank you for the kind words :)
@ericbomb Thanks for the feedback!! :DD I made the classic blunder of doing the environment art in 128x128 while the rest of the game is in either 64x64 or 32x32 sprites haha xD
@devin-n Much appreciated!! :D I really love camera shakes haha.
@zhennaperks Ohh!! Yeah haha the sounds are actually the zombie sounds from minecraft ;p The firing sound the enemies make are actually also a minecraft sound :x The final boss music is Carl Orff's O Fortuna (actual name is Carmina Burana iirc) in case you were wondering! Hope you still had fun though :D
@nanolotl Thank you!! c:
@slickramen I had just as much fun creating the bullet types haha :p
@bgdc Thank you!! :)
I liked the atmosphere created with the lighting and sounds.
The enemies were varied enough to keep me engaged throughout, and the final boss battle actually made me chuckle on the chaos of it all.
Good job.
and *SPOILERS* ---- minecraft zombie sfx)
@mallard Thank you for kind words!! :DD Took me quite a while to figure out and set up the sounds/atomosphere haha. I'm glad you got a chuckle out of the final boss hehe.
@cavejohnson332 Every boss needs an 'epic' soundtrack imo :p The final boss music is Carl Orff’s O Fortuna if you were wondering! :D And yeah haha I used the minecraft zombie sfx for the mobs :x Maybe next time when I'm more experienced with things I'll do my own sounds ;p
@matthewlacker Oh man I barely managed to squeeze it in >__< Noted on the feedback on the lighting and mood! Hopefully I'll be able to improve on that for future submissions :x I'm glad you liked the glitched tiles effect haha, those took sooo long to figure out how to make and I was afraid it'd be too disorienting if I left it in the game. :x The initial idea was that everything could glitch out, the wall props, the guns, the bullets but I took too long with just doing the char, enemy and tile glitch that I had to cut it out :x
