Game Overview

Players will need to use a variety of traversal and combat methods to escape a city that is actively trying to prevent the player from leaving.

Equipment

The player has access to a weapon and three “tools” that modify their movement in unique and interesting ways.

Definitions:

Tool - Affects the player’s movement

Weapon - Affect world / enemies

Main Weapon 

Kinetic Pistol

• Functions as a pistol, but if the player moves fast enough using their tools, the weapon can build up a charge. This deals more damage and allows the bullets to ricochet onto other enemies

Tool options:

Dash tool

• An omnidirectional dash that propels the player in the direction they’re aiming
• Can also be used to damage enemies

Propulsion Cannon

• Cannon that can be used as a rocket jump and has an area of effect to disorient/displace enemies

Overdrive tool

• Can be used to lock onto enemies and slow down time. When a target is acquired and the input released, the player teleports to the enemy

UI / UX

Weapons and tools will have diegetic UI

• The UI will be contained on the weapon itself which will make it easier when players change loadouts, so there doesn't have to be a canvas switch everytime they change weapons and tools

Known Bugs:

Gauntlet:

• Small chance that when jumping in between gun range dividers, and facing the direction of the bar during the jump in between, when you're in the air jumping over and in between dividers, you may see brief occlusion glitch
