Thoraxis

Battle endless waves of giant bugs in this top-down shooter.  Each wave you clear gives you stronger abilities, but also brings new challenges.  Choose carefully and battle for the high score!

This game is being made over 2 weeks for the [GDKO 2023 - Round 3] game jam.  The challenge was to make a boss fight.

Inspiration

Early on in GDKO, I had signed up for another game jam: Boss Rush Jam.  I had already written a small game design doc for that jam, but moved on in GDKO.  So I decided not to enter.

I imagine this to be an endless boss rush mode enabled after completion of a regular story mode.

If you're interested in my entire work process, I'll have a DevLog on my YouTube channel Friday, March 17th.
