The Brickslayer 0.825

Summary:

This is the first step towards a larger project. I wanted to see how difficult it would be to create a 3D game.  So, I decided I would start with a FPS.  I used stop motion animation with block figures and added sprite animation in post.  Very simple gameplay like classic doom and perform glory kills on flashing enemies.  The game is also game controller compatible for Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and generic controllers.

Rules: Survive. Enemies (Soldiers and Ninjas will spawn at random on map).  Soldiers have 3 lives, ninjas have 5 lives.  You can perform a glory kill on the enemy when flashing.  You have I-frames during kills, but can get easily surrounded.  Keep it moving.  I started the player in a safe ledge so you can review the controls.

Controls:

Hide menu - 'G' key, Sony Triangle, XBOX- Y, Nintendo - X

 WASD - movement or L-stick game controller

Aim - mouse or R-stick controller

Shoot - left click mouse or R2 trigger

Jump - Space Key, Sony - X, Xbox - A, Nintendo - B
