The Animals Want Their Land Back!

Bobby built his dream house in the woods but the animals are mad that he has invaded their territory. They plan to take back what they think is theirs! Protect your house from these pyro-crazed animals. If too many animals get into your house, who knows what they'll do!

Controls!

Arrow Keys = Movement 

 Z = Shoot 

 X = Dash 

 X + Arrow key = Level Code while on start screen

How to Play

Animals come from the right. Eliminate them before they go off screen on the left. Every animal that gets past will damage your house.

Level Codes

Rather than replaying the whole game to get back to where you died, you can type in a level code in the start screen to jump ahead. Hold X and press the code seen on the top of the level you died at. You'll hear a sound confirming it worked! Then just start the game as you would normally and it will jump to that level.

Level 2 - Up Arrow Key

Level 3 - Down Arrow Key

Level 5 - Left Arrow Key

Final Boss - Right Arrow Key

Behind the Scenes

This is my first full game. I'm the only one that worked on this project and it took me about two months off and on. I based a lot of my code off of Lazy Devs shmup tutorial. I also got the music from other people's projects since I'm not musically inclined, link to that below. Really fun to learn a new language and practice game dev.

Biggest issue with this game is the dash for sure, it feels really janky. Would love tips on how you think to improve that. I-frames are weird on it and the speed is inconsistent. I also think I limited myself too much on screen, half the screen isn't playable space which was an unnecessary restriction. Also huge difficulty spike once you get shotgun haha.

I don't really have any social media so commenting is the best way to talk to me. Thanks! Hope you enjoy!
