Down Below

Down Below was created for the Mix and Jam Game Jam, November 2020 

The theme was 'Mixing Genres' 

Down Below is a mix of a Tower Defence game and a Rogue like! Survive waves of killer robots and scavenge their parts for upgrades for your towers!

CONTROLS:

WASD to move 

Mouse to Look

E - To Pickup Upgrades (You can only hold one at a time)  And to deposit held upgrades to a tower when hovering over it. 
Towers can only hold 3 Upgrades

Left Mouse button - Exceute Action or Shoot if no action selected

Right Mouse button - Cancel selected Action

1 - Activate Build Mode 

2 - Activate Deconstruction Mode

3 - Switch back to Gun mode (Default)

F - Activate / Deactivate Jetpack (has Limited use but recharges)

Spacebar = Jump /Fly in jetpack mode

UNFORTUNATELY I MADE THE ROOKIE MISTAKE OF FORGETTING TO ADD A QUIT BUTTON SO YOU WILL HAVE TO ALT+F4!
(Unless I can quickly sneak in a fixed build before the deadline)

CREDITS:

Down Below was created solo, using:

Pretty happy with this one! Its been years since I've done a solo jam, and since I'd been learning Blender/Substance I thought it'd be a good time to try out everything I know! 

I hope you enjoy the game, I had heaps of fun making it! I'd love to hear your feedback! 

And if you find any bugs please share them! I'd love to fix this up and post a post-jam build with some extra polish and a proper tutorial!
