Outpost Roast

This game has been made in 2 weeks for the LOWREZ Jam 2022 and implements the optional theme "Kill it with fire".

In Outpost Roast you play as an astronaut who is left back by his comrades and needs to find his own way of escaping the planet. Your only option is to retrieve 3 common AAA batteries,... ehm, I mean 3 high-tech power supplies, in order to make your emergency pod operational again. Equipped with your trusty flamethrower, you are going to explore 3 different biomes in your search for the power supplies.

Features

• 3 biomes - each with a unique boss battle
• unlockable moves
• scattered and hidden Power-Ups to make your character stronger

Your life points are shown in the UI in the lower left corner. You lose life points when being hit by enemies. On reaching 0, you lose and respawn at the last visited checkpoint.

When shooting with your flamethrower, heat will start building up, indicated by the gauge in the lower right corner. Once this gauge is filled up completely, your flamethrower will be jammed for a few seconds before you can attack once more.
