Mechanical Wizard

This was a project for the 2019 Butterscotch Shenanijam, made in roughly 20 hours.  The idea was to combine  the themes of "Cursemas Eve" and "Wrenches 101" into a shooter game about a wizard with a massive, magical pipe wrench for a weapon. Your character can fire out pneumatic nailgun-style nails to damage enemies and to create climbable platforms. To beat the singular level, eliminate all enemies in the stage.

As a new developer, I attempted to create a platformer, which was new territory for me. I created the physics system using solely GML, and that took the brunt of my time. While far more unfinished than I would hope, I learned quite a lot from my experience, and I do hope to tear this apart and rebuild it as a proper work at a later date. I enjoyed the process, and cannot wait till my next game jam.
