Weapon list

There are 6 weapons in the game and each of the weapon can be upgraded 3 times. I’ll List all the weapons with some of their basic stats and cost below. Be sure to test each weapon by Yourself and have fun.

Pistol is the first weapon You’ll get in each level. Recoil doesn’t change the character movement that much.

TOTAL UPGRADE COST : 75000$

Shotgun deals damage to group of mobs on short distance. The damage is divided by the amount of mobs. Recoil doesn’t change the character movement that much.

TOTAL UPGRADE COST : 150000$

Machine gun deals damage to one mob at a time and has higher fire rate than all of the other weapons. After each upgrade the recoil gets bigger and it changes character movement speed. You can use it for Your advantage when running backwards as it’ll push You back and You’ll move faster.

TOTAL UPGRADE COST : 85000$

Plasma gun deals damage to one enemy at a time. Upgrading the plasma gun allows You to shoot more than one bullet at the same time. When fully upgraded You can shoot 3 bullets at the same time and every few seconds You’ll shoot bigger bulets that will deal more damage.

Monster types

There are 6 monster types which are different in some aspects such as health amount, movement speed etc. Health of the monsters also depends on difficulty level.

Pink Chewer
one of the basic monsters, has the lowest amount of health. Its movement is slightly faster than the other mobs.

Pink Eater
another basic monster with slightly more health points than the Pink Chewer. Its a little bigger compared to Pink Chewer.

Pink Snacker
this one teleports sideways and dodges the bullets, Its health points are around these of Pink Eater though I couldn’t specify it because at 1st level it had around 6hp dying from one bullet at easy and at the 2nd level it had around 24 so I gave up.

Pink Slurper
You can call this one a tank as it is slow and has a bigger amount of health compared to the other monsters. It can be harder to see behind Your character as it doesn’t illuminate with the pink light.

Pink Biter
its health is similiar to other basic monsters but it has a unique attack move. It charges for some time and then jumps straight at Your character so be careful and try to dodge it by running sideways when it’s about to jump.

Pink Cruncher
its the last and the biggest of all of the monsters. It has a biggest hp amount (on easy it was around 200) compared to all of the other monsters but its movement speed makes it easy to run from.

Items and bonuses

There are 4 bonuses types that will spawn randomly in a level that You can pick and a total of 5 items.

BLUE CUBE
When You pick up a blue cube You randomly get a shield or medkit. If You already have other item in Your inventory You can’t pick up blue cubes.

YELLOW CUBE

PURPLE CUBE
When You pick up purple cube it gives You a random weapon upgrade for some time. If Your weapon is already fully upgraded it will give You another random weapon that is also fully upgraded. You can pick up purple cubes if previous purple cube upgrade has ended. If You don’t like the weapon You got You can change it by clicking TAB in classic version and selecting Your main weapon then clicking equip or in normal version by holding CTRL and selecting Your main weapon. Note that after changing back to Your weapon the upgrade ends and You can’t have it back but You can pick another purple cube if You want.
