Re-Entry

Entry for 8 Bits to Infinity: retro platformer jam.

The theme was Clouds, which we interpreted as falling through the clouds during an orbital re-entry. Which gives you limited time to fight yourself to victory. Move from the left to right as in traditional platform games, while navigating a debris field of something de-orbiting, encountering a few different types of enemies and a final boss.

You have 4 actions:

• Jump (z)
• Shoot (x)
• Dash (a)
• Punch (s)

Punching enemies does a lot more damage, and some enemies are cannot be damaged with bullets. There is 1 final boss as a showdown, and you have 5 minutes.
