A downloadable game for Windows

Press 1 - to throw chakram
--------------------------------------
*UPDATE 09/09/21* - v0_1_3
Inventory correctly 'adds' chakrams when caught.
Thrown chakrams' rotations are independent of the player now - animated sprites coming soon!
--------------------------------------
alas, it's unfinished!
Got the chakram-throwing to mostly work.
Here are the different types of chakrams I drew and their behaviour (to be coded):
standard Chakram:
'your basic tool for taking down the fascist state'
Shredder:
'you've heard of smash the fash, but how about shred the feds?'
Boomer:
'one of the handful of boomers I can appreciate.'
Bouncer:
Thworper:
next working step(s):
- add player sprites
- add enemies into game
- add different chakram behaviours
Player sprite:
(enemy sprites)
Story / aim:
a 2D, top-down roguelike, where you are a rebel breaking out of a p̶r̶i̶s̶o̶n̶ ̶c̶a̶m̶p̶ ‘correctional detainment centre’ for dissidents and undesirables. You will attempt to liberate other rebels and fight the fash by using your Chakram throwing skills passed down by a sect of resistance fighters. Basically, fight for queer Liberation through defeating the authoritarian state.
Thanks for reading this far! If you're interested in this premise, feel free to send me a message to let me know, I'm keen to continue this project when I can afford time on it and knowing there are people out there interested is a good incentive :-)

I love the chakram art and tag lines! Really great writing
Great work so far, please continue working on it!
It seems like it could be really interesting with the fire-and-forget nature of the mechanic, and its really mesmerising seeing them all creating patterns around you
I'd love to see that awesome player/enemy art in the game too!
