Rocket Lancer - Demo
A downloadable game
Rocket Lancer (referred to -boots ingame, wrong name) Is a mouse only game demo of a futuristic knight taking out an invading gnome army before energy fuel out. You are constantly using fuel to stay airborne, and taking damage also hits your fuel. However, defeating enemy gnome vehicles returns some fuel too!
Most Important part Is that the game is controlled completely with your mouse: left mouse charges your lance, and right click raises your shield and moves around.
Game contains no sound & a couple stages, every button does not lead to a stage.
This is an old demo project I was working on before Chaos Sisters, although I made good progress with the game, I mostly made it for learning purposes, and getting down the concept of vertical game building and smaller scope. The game I truly wanted to make was my demon beat'em up, that I already cancelled... but after learning my lessons from both the cancelled game and Rocket Lancer, I wanted to do another attempt at Chaos Sisters, and this time I'll do it properly. Now that Chaos Sisters is out, I decided to celebrate by uploading this old demo to itch! Whether Rocket Lancer will someday turn into a real project, only time will tell... but if it does, there will be many changes.

While the controls are pretty hard to grasp, the style and formula are pretty fleshed out for a short demo, I'd say it's got a lot going for it, even as a concept.
Thank you! In my opinion, the biggest problems were camera being too close/characters being too big, and the jank that comes with high speed physics. Also, giving the character a giant ponytail wasn't the smartest of moves... hair physics is already hard, combined with rocket speeds it's just jank city.
I want to revisit this idea someday, but I have a million ideas for small games currently, so I'm not sure If I'll get it to soon.
