1K ARENA is a basic "Survivors-like" top-down shoot 'em up created for the PICO-1K Jam 2023. It uses 1023 compressed bytes of code for graphics, sound and game logic.
Features include:
- Animated player, enemies and background
- Multiple weapons with different behaviors
- XP/level-up system
- Persistent splatter effect!
- Sound
Instructions
The goal is simple: Survive as long as possible! You control the player using the directional buttons/arrow keys. When you die, press the X button/key to retry.
The top bar is your HP. The bottom bar is your level progression. Pick up experience from defeated enemies to level-up and gain additional weapons.
There are three weapons in the game:
- Pink (starting weapon): Spread-pattern shot
- Lavender: Multi-directional shot
- Blue: Homing shot
