An arcade score-attack mod for GZDoom
FIRE - Fire your weapon. Collect UPGRADE TOKENS to unlock its true potential.
ALTFIRE - Use a Bomb. Bombs stun nearby enemies and deflect projectiles. You gain another Bomb every time your multiplier reaches a multiple of 5.
RUN - Tap the run button to perform a DODGE. Performing a DODGE gives you some invulnerability frames. Use a DODGE while moving to get lots of speed.
- With good timing (3 frame window) you can perform a LASER DODGE and set off a mini-bomb.
- Press RUN while jumping to boost yourself into the air!
- LASER BEAM - Your Laser Gun's base state. A single, rapid-fire blast.
- DUAL LASER - A rapid-firing laser blast! Slightly more damage than the LASER BEAM, spread across twin beams.
- LONG LASER - A slower, but more powerful beam, optimized for long-distance combat. Does more damage from afar, but not as much at point-blank range. Mind your spacing!
- WIDE LASER - A shotgun-like spread of beams, favored by the Hard Corps and modified to have similar range to your other attacks. A close-range powerhouse.
- BUSTER LASER - A shot that lingers on impact, doing damage in an area over time. Melts crowds of smaller enemies, and does respectable damage to larger ones.
- OMEGA BEAM - Combining aspects of the LONG LASER, the BUSTER LASER, and the DUAL LASER, this is the most powerful weapon in your arsenal.
COINS - Grant you varying amounts of POINTS. Stack up a high MULTIPLIER by killing monsters without taking hits, and make those points go even further beyond!
UPGRADE TOKENS - Every 200 UPGRADE TOKENS grants you a new weapon!
HEALTH - Collect HEALTH pickups to keep your HEALTH BONUS up. You cannot die, but a high Health Bonus is good for your score--it makes your Multiplier go up faster!
SHIELD TOKENS - SHIELD TOKENS not only protect you from damage, they also stop your multiplier from going down! Every 10 SHIELD TOKENS blocks 1 attack.
DEFLECTOR ORB - Deflector Orbs orbit you and deflect incoming attacks.
BAG OF COINS - Pick one of these up to create a shower of coins!
GUNLIMITER - Obtain GUNLIMITED POWER for a brief period of time! Also heals you and grants a free upgrade!
- Use your bombs! They're easier to get than Shield Tokens, and far more powerful if you use them wisely. Bombs stunlock enemies and save your from incoming projectiles.
- If you're out of bombs, use your dodge! Performing a Laser Dodge will increase your multiplier, too!
- Just Don't Get Hit! Taking a hit halves your score, halves your multiplier, and reduces your Health Bonus. The less you get hit, the higher your score will go.
