Winner's Triangle (Global Game Jam 2022)

An arena shooter with the Ikaruga polarity mechanic.

Made in one week for Global Game Jam 2022 on the theme of "duality".

🏆 Won the "Best Market Value" award at the Hong Kong site for GGJ22 🏆

This is the game jam build, so it's lacking features like a title screen, menu, pause etc. 

Instructions

Absorb bullets of the same color as your shield.

Contact with bullets of the opposite color or enemies will kill you (though your death hitbox is much smaller than the shield)

If you manage to beat the boss you will receive a "Winner's Triangle", but it doesn't do anything at the moment 😅

Controls

"R" key to restart!

Q: Why the weird name?
A: I recently learned that Ikaruga is the name of a town in Japan, so I decided to name this game after the village where I grew up in the UK which has a business park called Winnersh Triangle.
