THE ARSENAL

Six. You carry all of them. There is no loadout screen.

SLOT 1 BELT FED

[ WEAPON SPRITE ]

GATLING GUN

Spins up before it fires. Learn the delay or wear it.

SLOT 2 RICOCHET

[ WEAPON SPRITE ]

BLADED DISK LAUNCHER

Disks come back. Corridors are either your best friend or the reason you died.

SLOT 3 CELL

[ WEAPON SPRITE ]

ELECTRIC ARC BEAMER

Jumps between targets. Also jumps to anything metal you happen to be standing on.

SLOT 4 NONE

[ WEAPON SPRITE ]

GRAVITY GUN

Picks the room up and puts it somewhere else. Furniture counts as ammunition.

SLOT 5 CHARGE

[ WEAPON SPRITE ]

DE-ATOMIZER

Nothing left to gib. The only clean weapon in the game.

SLOT 6 ONE

[ WEAPON SPRITE ]

NUKE LAUNCHER

Tactical. Rendered live, blast and all. It does not check who fired it.

THE NUKE

RENDERED IN REAL TIME

OUTER · SCORCH

SHOCKFRONT

FIREBALL

YOU ARE HERE, PROBABLY

FIREBALL

Full geometry loss. Whatever was standing there is not in the level any more.

SHOCKFRONT

Expands outward in real time. Catches the second wave that was still walking in.

SCORCH

Burns into the floor and stays there for the rest of the level.

YOU

Are inside at least one of those rings. Fire it and then run, in that order.

THE BESTIARY

Enthusiastic. Numerous. Not interested in a standoff.

[ JELLYFISH ]

LEVITATING JELLYFISH

THREAT · DRIFTING

Floats in from above while you are busy with the floor. Pops loudly and takes its neighbours with it.

[ ELDRITCH ]

ETERNAL ELDRITCH

THREAT · PERSISTENT

You have killed this before. It does not appear to have registered that.

[ DEFORMED ]

DEFORMED

THREAT · UNCLASSIFIED

Nobody on the team has agreed on what it is. It is in episode one anyway.

BRING
SOMEONE

Co-op the whole campaign. Same planet, same killers, twice the things going wrong at once. Friendly fire is on and we are not turning it off.

DEV DIARY

11 SEP

The blast is no longer a sprite

It is geometry now, and it expands at its own speed. Framerate held. Barely.

27 AUG

Cutting the reload button

Stopping to reload broke the pace every time. Weapons now manage themselves and the game got faster.

06 AUG

Something got into episode one

It is in the enemy table and nobody put it there. It stays.
