Scavenger: World's End
This project was originally created as part of a game jam. The current game version is an improved version of the original game jam title.
This is a puzzle game where you try to collect as many scraps as possible before time runs out. Only the scraps brought back to base count towards the final total, and you want to be inside the base before the game ends.
Story
This world has been ravaged by a long war against an invasive alien faction. This has left Earth littered with toxic materials, and teeming with violent monsters. Most of humanity has gone underground to escape the toxic hazards, but excursions to the outside world are still necessary to gather resources, which is where you come in!
You're a scavenger, and it's your job to bring useful materials back to the base. The world is a dangerous place, and life support systems can only last for so long, so scavengers need to do their jobs as efficiently as possible. If your life support system fails while you're outside, your body will become infected with toxic chemicals, and no one will come to save you. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
Controls
The controls for the game are as follows:
WASD: Move
Spacebar: Attack
- The player attacks in the direction that they're facing. The direction is indicated by an arrow in front of the player.
Left Arrow/Right Arrow: Switch Weapon (If Available)
- Weapons must be found in the game world. If the player has more than one weapon, they switch between them using the left and right arrow keys.
Down Arrow: Use Health Pack (If Available)
- Health packs are found in the game world.
Up Arrow: Toggle Map
- The map shows where the player currently is, and where the home base is. Areas on the map are color-coded so that you know which sector that you're in.
Technical Details
The game has some glitches and stability issues in this version, which may be due to the WebGL platform. The major technical issues are explained below.
- The background music may have a delayed start.
- Playing repeat playthroughs with the tutorials disabled will cause the player to get stuck when the game starts up. Toggle the settings window using the escape key, or toggle the map using the up arrow key to fix it.
