Heartshot

Made for the BC GDC FALL 20 Game Jam 

The theme was: Arena

Boom! Heartshot! An experimental game mechanic combined with the side scrolling SHMUP formula

Left Click to place a Heart Pointer, Pointer's create a Link to the next pointer placed down after it and so on

Right Click to Fire off any created Links. When Links are fired any Enemy in contact with a Link will take damage.

You can also Reflect incoming attacks by placing a Heart Pointer (Left Click) and Firing it (Right Click) before placing another one down. Any overlapping projectiles will be shot in the direction you're character's position compared to the Pointers
