[LD46] Meals On Rails

This is an “inverted tower defense” game where your goal is to keep the pizza travelling through the tower gauntlet alive. You are cyber-future pizza delivery person equipped with a shield that can block and parry shots from the towers along your route. Their energy fields pass right through humans so standing in front of the bullets will do nothing.

TOWERS

• Basic Cannon: Fires projectiles at a set interval. Every third shot will be a pink projectile. Parrying it will return to sender and destroy the tower.
• Sniper Cannon: Never fires pink projectiles. Make sure to pay attention and block! Looks similar to basic towers but blue.
• Laser Wall: Placed along the rail, make sure to find the connected button to disable it. If not your pizza will take damage when it passes through.

PICKUPS

• Heal Pizza: Restore 1 slice of your pizza.
• Shield Pizza: Protect the pizza from damage for a short while
• Pizza Boost: Increases the pizza speed for a short while
• Pizza Slow: Slows the pizza for a short while
• Player Boost: Increases the players speed for a short while

CONTROLS

• Move - WASD
• Block - Hold Right Mouse Click: Blocks projectiles.
• Parry - Hold Left Click: Parry only works on pink projectiles. Parrying requires stamina. Holding parry will reduce your stamina. Parrying a pink projectile will send it back to the tower that shot it and destroy it.
• Jump - Space
• Use - E: Find buttons connected to Laser Walls and press E on them to disable them.
• Pickups - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 number keys: Use the collected pickups listed above.
