PROGETTO PEWPEW

PROGETTO PEWPEW is a fast-paced 2D arcade shooter with an 8-bit look. Survive as long as you can, shoot everything that comes your way, and keep your combo alive to chase a higher score.

A quick note before you play

This is a prototype, and also my very first game. It's a rough, unpolished little project with no big ambitions: I see it more as a way to learn game development than as a commercial product.

Controls

• WASD: Move
• Left click: Primary fire
• Right click: Secondary fire / alternate mode (depending on the weapon, you may need to hold it)
• Q: Melee
• Space: Dash
• P / Esc: Pause

Inspirations

Gameplay-wise, it draws inspiration from Vampire Survivors and Enter the Gungeon, while the visual style takes inspiration from Realm of the Mad God.

How it was made (honestly)

• All pixel art and sprites were made by me using Aseprite.
• I used LLMs to help with some of the code and particle effects.
• Sound effects and music come from free, CC0-licensed assets. Special thanks to tricksntraps for the music, which I found on OpenGameArt.org.
• YEAH YEAH, this description was also written with AI... EXCEPT THIS PART cause my english sucks and im lazy asf, soz, forgive me for my sins.....

Feedback welcome!

I'd love to hear what you think of the game: what worked, what didn't, what felt fun, and what felt frustrating. Any feedback is appreciated!

Technical notes

The web version is experimental and hasn't been thoroughly tested across browsers. It's not optimized yet, either, so for the best experience, I recommend downloading the game. It should run noticeably better. (I guess)

The macOS and Linux builds are untested. If something doesn't work, please let me know!
