Tower of the DOOMLORD

This project is a prototype of about 1 hour or so in length. Features the first Floor of the game and demonstrates most if not all of the intended game loop. Please let me know what you think of a possible full game after completion!

Summary

Tower of the DOOMLORD is a top down twin stick shooter, where you adventure across several abducted worlds to end lives and occasionally save them. Combat is simple and easy to learn, but quickly ramps up in difficulty as your enemies employ ever more dangerous tactics and the environment becomes more twisted the further you scale the Tower, but you will eventually attain power of your own right. 

Collect and equip a variety of weapons and armor, all designed with a philosophy of "not just a stat stick". Items not only alter your stats but give you powerful abilities alongside your own basic powers. Flying swords, dazzling lasers, a tricked out pair of pants, all are possible as you expand your arsenal as you explore the Tower in its entirety. Upgrade your health, damage, speed, and even gain new equipment slots to make your gameplay experience even less coherent.

Story

Drifting beyond the light of any star, far flung from any civilization, lies a great and terrible force. The Tower is ruled by an enigmatic, almighty sorcerer-king of unthinkable power, the DOOMLORD. The Tower is a series of continents ripped from planets throughout the universe, each floor being a piece of a (formerly) inhabitable world, carrying with it its citizens, cultures, and monsters.

You lived on a peaceful, isolated planet with a tiny human colony, which was merely a century old.  One day. a sound of countless thunders cracked the sky, and a tower that dwarfed the nearby star tore through the fabric of space, and before you knew it, a chunk of the planet's surface was lifted and dragged away to be assimilated, bringing you along with it. Fight your way to the top of the Tower, and kill the DOOMLORD for ruining your afternoon.
