Boss Room

Somewhere in the world of Ruptured there is a boss. And a player. And the player keeps dying to the boss over and over again.

In this twist on a metroidvania, you play as a boss and fight the player as the player keeps getting stronger. Use the credits obtained by terminating the player to buy upgrades. Spawn mines, fire a laser, or screech at the top of your mechanical lungs! There are upgrades for every play style!

This is a submission for the GMTK Game Jam 2023. It fits the theme Roles Reversed, as you switch roles with a metroidvania-style boss. Rather than exploring a vast open world, you have a single room that you must defend with your life.

I used some graphical and audio assets from my game Ruptured, though most sprites are original based on the style. Other than that, all game design and coding was done within the 48 hour period for the jam.

Note: The WebGL build is slightly janky, and has at least one visual bug that is not present in the standalone game. I recommend downloading it, though functionally it works fine in the browser.
