Red Laser Z (itch)

Red Laser Z is a retro FPS in the style of Wolfenstein 3D. It is the spiritual successor of Zillion 3D, a Wolf3D mod. (You can check the original Zillion 3D here.)

We have three new levels and other improvements. Now you can aim holding the right mouse button. Also, there’s treasures like good old Wolfenstein 3D. We fixed (hopefully) a bug where enemies wouldn't shoot at you when you were crouching (thanks to Caswyck!)

If the game freezes after completing a level, please tell us! We need details! =]

All songs by Ozzed. You can find his amazing music at ozzed.net.

This is beta version 0.4b. This demo contains 4 levels (around 10 minutes each level, 60 minutes overall).

We’d appreciate very much if you find a bug and report to us!!! =]

Specs: core 2 duo onwards, probably...

Hitscan Heaven – Only ONE weapon. No bullet sponges. You have the most unfair gun in the galaxy - the Z Gun - which kills everything with ONE bullet.

Precision Shoot – Your laser hits EXACTLY where you aim. No recoil. No statistical bullshit. No mouselook dampening. You aim, you shoot, you destroy.

Tough but Fair Enemies –Using both hitscan and projectile attacks. Each with its own behavior.

Destructible Scene Objects – Almost all objects are destructible, including NPCs. But beware! There’s a penalty system to prevent killer sprees.

Level Design – No linear levels. No random generated levels. Good old level design with sprawling areas (the demo has only 4 levels so far).

Arcade Style FPS – The ONLY items to collect are energy, ammo, keys, and treasures. No reload. No fatigue. No regenerating health. No crafting of any kind.

RPG Style Story – Talk with NPCs. Search drawers, lockers, and other objects.

Penalty/Reward System – Gain points killing enemies, lose points killing NPCs and destroying scene objects. Die if your penalty score is too high.

Look Around Corners – You can look and shoot around corners by holding ‘Q’ then using ‘W’ and ‘S’ to lean left or right.
