Blunderbuss: Reanimated

BLUNDERBUSS: REANIMATED!

A short action roguelike with bullet hell and light deck-building elements . (re)Made in Love2d, solo, in 11 days for Project Revival Jam 2.

Features:

• An even more sleepless night!
• 15 or so unique (and upgradable!) projectiles to stuff in your blunderbuss!
  
• 4 enemies! (Including an even cuter crow)
• 3 bosses!
• Lil' itty bitty chick friends

Post-Jam patch:

• You can skip the tutorial and quick restart from the menu
• Added omelet perk
• Added boss perks
• Made floors longer
• Other balance changed, and some bug fixes probably! I walked away from this for a week and forgot exactly what I updated lmao

This is a remake of a game I worked on with a team for Brackey's Game jam 2021.2, as the lead sprite artist. (You can play it here!) I always liked the idea, and it's very October-y, so I thought it would be an excellent project to remake for this jam. 

I think the difficulty is a little off; too much variance in the wrong places. But it's fun when the randomness works out in your favor! And it's not as much of a deck-builder as I wanted, there's no synergy, nothing to encourage 'building'.  The passives are just pretty standard, I wanted to make extra-interesting-game-changing perks you pick after boss fights (a la  Slay The Spire)  but I ran out of steam.

Overall a good jam! Learned a lot, had some fun ideas, drew some fun monsters. I'm satisfied.
