Hammer and Die (GMTK 2022)

Created for the GMTK 2022 Game Jam, Hammer and Die is definitely one of those cases of biting off more than you can chew. It's a small, pretty unpolished top down Old Western wave shooter that features a fairly interesting core mechanic at it's heart, that being a magic revolver which changes it's ammo type and ammo count randomly with each reload. Made by 4 people managing different sides of the project (Programming/Tech, UI, VFX, and Music) it was a fun collaborative challenge and an interesting first participation in a Game Jam! We originally wanted to have much more complete visuals, a more roguelike layout dungeon generation layout and a boss fight, but time is not a very good friend of ambition. We hope you can get some enjoyment out of this little project!
