### How to play:

First look at the controls below. Playing is simple shoot, enemies to gain coins, and spend the coins in the shop to get better weapons, to shoot more enemies, etc. And try not to die to much!

### Controls:

 - WASD / Arrow keys to move
 - X / Space bar to shoot
 - P to pause

### Technical details:

This game was made from scratch using `Raylib` and `C++` (with `pygame-ce` for the level editor).

The majority of the rendering is done using standard `raylib`, though the postprocessing is done through a custom fragment shader, and `rlgl.h` is used for some of the particle fx (mainly the cinders and sparks).

The level data is stored in a `JSON` file in `data/maps`, which contains a list of tile data for the grid (solid blocks) and off grid tiles (decoration), where the tile type, variant and position of each tile is stored. The level data is then loaded by the game using the [nlohmann json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json) library. 

The soundtrack was made using [bosca ceoil](https://yurisizov.itch.io/boscaceoil-blue).
