Pew Pew vs Monsters [alpha]

What am I playing?

You are playing an early alpha version of what is to become my first release on Steam; Pew Pew vs Monsters. This alpha version will receive frequent updates with planned improvements on all fronts. Feel free to give me a follow (top right) if you want to stay up to date with this journey :) I read and listen to any and all feedback, so feel free to leave a comment!

If you're into descriptions, have one here:

..but why?

The goal for me personally is clear: to go through the entire process of releasing a game on Steam from scratch, with a timeline of a couple of months. Since I am doing everything myself while combining this with a part-time job and fathering 25 children, I am trying to keep the scope relatively small. I'm kidding about the children.

How to play

Goal

Make Pew Pew survive for as long as possible by shooting the monsters before they attack. If Pew Pew levels up, a random modifier (for now) is automatically  upgraded.

Controls

• aim | MOUSE
• shoot | CLICK
• move | ARROW KEYS / WASD
• reload | R
• dash | SPACEBAR
• apply | E

What’s planned?

For this alpha version

• 10 different player modifiers to upgrade done
• Highscore keeping done
  
• A dash mechanic done
  
• Choosing your upgrades
• Faster paced gameplay
• Better overall game feel (yes I’m aiming for fun here, which is quite radical)

For the free demo

• Waves 1 – 9
• Skill tiers
• Some blessings

For the full game

• 5 difficulties
• More blessings
• A backstory if time allows (lol)
