Intro

The game is a FPS in a fixed arena, where areas can be unlocked with points which you gain with killing enemies.

Gameplay

The FPS-controller is fairly simple. Simple movement in all directions and sprinting. Sliding is a good bonus.

The weapon doesn't have a magazine. Instead the ammo gets used up directly. The player may only have two weapons. Enemies may drop weapons, that the player can pick up. If the player already has the weapon, he picks it up ammo when walking over the weapon.

Killing enemies is the main way of getting points. Depending how fast the enemies are killed, you get a point multiplier. Killing enemies in a stylish way increases the points you got. f.E. (ENEMY_POINTS * SPEED_MULTI) * STYLE_MULTI

Using the points can be used to open new areas of the arena.

Inside the arena there are different items that help you killing enemies.
