Watch & Shmup
A downloadable game for Windows
There is no story here. This game was written for Watch + Jam 2 and was primarily an exercise to check if I could still code at all competently in C.
Turns out, I can - just about. Would probably have turned out better if I'd taken the time to design things first though.
Anyway...
This game features a quick experiment of a game mechanic. The phase-shift ram allows you do pass through things without taking damage, but only briefly.
Controls
Xbox controller recommended.
Dpag or left analogue stick - movement
A button - Shoot
X button - Phase-shift ram
Keyboard alternative:
WASD or cursor keys - movement
Space - Shoot
X button - Phase-shift ram
Note: I've only tested with a single controller connected. Might not work right if multiple controllers are detected at once.

Install instructions
Just unzip somewhere and run the launcher. It should automatically detect whether you're on a 32 or 64 bit version of windows and launch the appropriate build of the game.
The launcher itself uses .NET 4.5 which should be installed on most recent Windows installs these days.
The main game uses the MSVC runtimes, which again, are likely already installed. If not, you should be able to get them from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-d...
