ROT
2023 | Browser (PC)
Made for a course assignment, ROT is a minimalist endless arcade shooter. Players rotate to aim and fire, with their firing cooldown refreshed on successful hits to reward accuracy over spamming.
The variety of enemy shapes and behaviours are introduced over time as the player survives longer, such as strafing enemies, exploding chain-reactions, and shelled enemies.
