This is a hobby project I’m currently working on during christmas holidays.

The previous project I worked on was Blob Battle and I enjoyed tinkering a procedural algorithm, that’s why I want to make another one, more challenging, with a sense of Rogue-Lite gameplay in it.

The player play as a droid equipped with a canon. The droid rolls around in all directions and can shoot on all direction aswell.

State on the 4th of January 2017
