Version 1.3 - Reload Mini-Game


Snake with a Gun v1.3:

In development, for browsers, and eventual android-mobiles.

Made by InkPotts

-----------------------

Decided to add a bit of fun/difficulty into the game by turning the reloading mechanic into a mini-game. Previous, it was just an item that would randomly spawn on the screen if you ran out of bullets. Which was boring and often you would miss altogether that it has spawned. 

Now when you run out of bullets (I'll make it more obvious this has happened soon), you hold left shift and need to click the gun barrels in sequence to reload the gun. But beware! cause your character is still moving while the mini-game is open.

This also means that I've decided to go with one version of the keyboard controls (while both versions are still present in the build, I'll probably get rid of space=shoot, and keep it with just the mouse. That way the player is already/still holding the mouse in preparation for the mini-game).


I do plan to make it so that when you're holding left shift your character moves a little slower (like time has slowed down for you to reload the gun). But that requires rewriting the code for the movement and it took me a while just to get what I have, now I have to redo it??? So I'm leaving that for a little later. It's not essential, and I have other things I want/need to do.

I also have plans for additional characters you can play as, but I'm forcing myself to leave that for now until the game is more complete. They're not essential and can be left for later.


Until next time!
