The Lasso Shooter
A downloadable game for Windows
Story :
You are a lethal hunter who doesn't show mercy to any enemies coming to get you. But as you go on, suddenly a supernatural being reverses the roles and now you got to save the enemies you were killing. They have become suicidal and as they hit the wall they die.
Rules:
1. You are given 100 points and 100 health at beginning of each level. If your health or points go below 100, you lose.
2. There are 2 types of enemies : getting hit by either of them causes you damage and one of them throws poison projectiles at you.
3. As you hit the enemies, you gain points depending on enemy type.
4. In Reversed Mode when enemies are running away from you, if they hit wall you lose 100 points.
5. In Reversed Mode, you need to lasso the enemies and pull them towards you, they will be inhostile for the time being.
6. Role reversal keeps on happening based on timer displayed, i.e. enemies will keep on going from hostile to friendly.
Hint : Strategically place enemies so that when they go hostile you don't get overwhelmed. :)
Objective :
Maintain atleast 100 points during each level and don't die :)
Controls :
1. WASD for movement
2. Left Mouse button for firing continuously during normal mode and throwing lasso during role reversed mode.

I really like the concept behind this game. With a bit more refining of each of the modes, I think this game has a lot of potential.
The game seems to have stopped at level 2. No more enemies spawned, and the level didn't advance even after waiting multiple cycles. If that's the end of the game, it would have been nice for there to be feedback for that in the game. As-is, I have no idea if there was some bug that prevented it from continuing or if I reached the end of the content.
The combat was simple, but satisfying enough. The management part of the game felt like the more difficult of the two. I can definitely see how there could be some strategy in how you deal with one mode can effect the other mode.
Thanks a lot for playing. Yeah it’s a bug on Level 2. I couldn’t upload my final build. Glad you enjoyed it and yeah in future I’ll add more enemy types so that players can create elaborate strategies.
