1. What are the controls to your game? How do we play?

  WASD to move, space to shoot.
 

2. What creative additions did you make? How can we find them?

• Made it so once you reach 5 weapons equipped, you can then replace your currently equipped weapons with weapons of any type, and try different combos.
• Added a phaser weapon that shoots a fast burst of bullets once every second. It rewards accuracy.
• Added a laser weapon that deals constant damage to all targets in a line. Low damage, but consistant and good for groups.
• Added a missile weapon that detects nearby enemies and redirects to target them. Fires slow, but is hard to miss.

7. What trouble did you have with this project?

  I had a ton of issues with the curve editor. Snapping didn't work vertically, and it would only save the first change I made. I had to reopen the curve editor after each change to get it to apply. Making the first one took 15 minutes...
