Combusted

Combusted is a prototype created for the Norwegian Nationals of Gameplay in 2014, and the theme was 'heat'. The idea is that the tank the player controls  overheats when it takes damage or when the player shoots too much, resulting in glitching all over the screen, less accuracy when firing and ultimately death. I was heavily influenced by Vlambeer at the time, especially their lost project Glitchiker (link: www.youtube.com/embed/P1h95LNDjw8), and I'm proud of the aesthetic of the prototype. The gameplay itself is nothing revolutionary, and the glitching kind of makes it terribly hard not to die once you are near death, but it was super fun to work on.

The excellent sound effects and music was made by my dear friend Martin Kvale. He elevates everything he works on by a mile, and he did a great job on this game!
