History

For my first major project, I wanted to make a game that brings together my major influences as a sort of mission statement. Quickly adapting to new weapons is partially inspired by Quake and its weapon-for-every-occasion quality; certain musical tracks and the 2D-platformer-shooter format are loosely inspired by Cave Story; and the simple-abstractual visuals and music reminds me of Rez. Beyond putting together a bunch of different games, though, the goal was to make a lasting emotional experience, using "flow" unique to difficult, high-movement action games as a basis and building upon that with other elements.
